Page 7: Safety Features
Safety Features: Non‐contact safety The INSTABOOM Lite is equipped with a Class 1 laser sensor to scan the area under the boom to prevent the barrier coming down and striking objects or people. If an object interrupts the laser beam in an area between 300mm and 3000mm in a direct line out from the laser window, the barrier will not come down. If an object is detected while the barrier is moving to come down, it will reverse direction and return to the vertical. Contact safety If the boom does come into contact with an otherwise undetected object while moving to the horizontal position, it will detect this and reverse direction, returning to the vertical. ... -
Page 8: Charging
Charging: Operational voltage Your INSTABOOM Lite is a 12v system designed to be solar/hybrid. This means that, while it is equipped with 40w of solar, it will require periodic charging dependent on use. You can use the USB charger output to check the voltage of your INSTABOOM. Once below 11.9v it will require charging. Connect the charger Your INSTABOOM Lite was shipped with a separate mains charger. Connect the charger output cable to the Anderson socket on the side of the barrier. Then connect the mains cable to your local mains outlet (110‐240v AC). Charge the INSTABOOM Switch the charger on and allow the INSTABOOM to charge for at least 12 hours. The charger is a trickle charger and a 24 hour charge is the best way to condition your batteries. ... -
Page 9: Recovery From Low Voltage 1
Recovery from Low Voltage: Recovery from low voltage 1 If the INSTABOOM is allowed to drop below operational voltage, the solar charge regulator will cut off power to the control board to allow the device to recharge from solar. In this eventuality you will need to switch on the device manually. To do this, remove the cover from the top turret by unscrewing the 6 retaining screws Recovery from low voltage 2 Withdraw the cover. If the LOAD light is not illuminated, click the black button once to re‐ enable the INSTABOOM. ... -
Page 10: Pairing Remote Fobs
Pairing Remote Fobs: Unscrew the whip antenna and remove the device from the green boot The arrows show the activation point of each device. This is required for the next step. Remove the cover from the top turret by unscrewing the 6 retaining screws Touch the bottom left of the transmitter against the top left of the receiver for 1 second, as shown. The receiver will beep once. Press the chosen number switch on the transmitter you wish to pair. The receiver will beep twice to confirm pairing. Additional The receiver can store up to 30 transmitter pairings so when a barrier returns to base it is good practise to erase all fob pairings from its memory to prevent unwanted operation. To achieve this, touch the bottom left of the transmitter against the top left of the receiver, as described above, but hold it in position for over 5 seconds. The receiver will emit a long beep to confirm all pairings have been erased. You will then need to follow the steps above to pair a new remote fob. ... -
