Page 5: General Installation Instructions
General installation instructions 1. After installing the barrier, make sure that it is perfectly closed with the watertight covers supplied. 2. Use the cable clamps supplied to insert the cable in the lower section. 3. Make sure that the path between the sensors is free and that there are no obstacles that could affect the communication between the optical assemblies of the transmitters and receivers (i.e. -

Page 10: Aligning The Barriers
Aligning the barriers Note: The pre-alignment of barriers, which is sufficient for the vast majority of installations, is carried out by the manufacturer during the final testing phase. Initial manual alignment To correctly align the barriers after installation, place the optical assemblies of the transmitters and receivers facing one another, manually moving them to adjust them vertically and horizontally. -
Page 11: Aligning The Instrumentation
Aligning the instrumentation Note: Foster barriers are already pre-aligned by the manufacturer. In the event of problems arising during alignment, follow the procedure described below. Aligning the transmitter assembly (transmitter) Reference value: approx 4V (see pages 12 and 13) 1. Connect the tester to one of the main RX expansion boards using the small (red-black) cable supplied. - Page 12 4. Manually adjust the optics of the first TX expansion board in order to display the maximum voltage value on the tester, i.e. approx 4 Volts (voltage values beyond 4 Volts are to be considered optimal). Some multimeters might display a voltage that is up to 50% lower.

Move jumper MODE on the RX expansion board to position TEST. 5. Manually adjust the optics of the first RX expansion board in order to display the maximum voltage value on the tester, i.e.

Page 14: Settings And Programming
Settings and programming Description of indicators (LEDs) FOSTER RX boards have 6 indicators (LEDs) used for control purposes, which can be enabled by moving the jumper on the two-pin connector marked as LEDs to position ON. It is generally advisable to move the jumper back to position OFF at the end of the testing phase. -
Page 15: Description Of Characteristics And Jumper Settings
Description of characteristics and jumper settings FOSTER RX boards can be programmed in different configurations by means of the jumpers. RX BOARD BEAM (preset by manufacturer) Use all the jumpers that correspond to the number of receivers fitted on the barrier (if the barrier has 4 double or single lenses, move jumpers to positions 3 and 4). -
