If the amplifier module or sensor is defective, it must be replaced and secured against unauthorised use. The PAM03 module must only be used for its intended purpose. Do not change or modify any components unless specified in the manual.
The PAM03 module is very versatile thanks to the options of potentiometer or automatic gain adjustment, and the dip switch controlling the long/short range setting. This allows for optimal hysteresis and dust reserve settings for a wide variety of applications.
3. Operation 3.1. User interface of PAM03 The PAM03 amplifier connects up to 3 sets of photoelectric MOFT.../MOFR... sensors with their corresponding relays. Each of these channels has a separate trimmer that controls the signal strength of the sensor set.
4. Output parameters Each PAM03 has 3 relays corresponding to the 3 sensor sets. As the sensor sets are through-beam sensors, it is important to keep the following in mind: When the light beam between emitter and the receiver is uninterrupted, then the corresponding relay is active, meaning it carries a current.
4.1.3. Time delays The PAM03 amplification module has two trimmers to control ON-delay and OFF-delay respectively. The time delay setting affects all relays equally. If the trimmer is set all the way counterclockwise, the timer is disabled. Emitter (target) Receiver...
4.2. Connecting several PAM03 modules When several PAM03 are connected via the communication port on the side of the module, an automatic process of connection and role assignment takes place. The first of the modules automatically takes on the role of master, while the following modules are set up as slaves.
One PAM03 module can handle 3 sensor sets. Please refer to section 10 for connection and wiring diagrams. The connected sensor sets are multiplexed, meaning the master module controls when which emitter is active, and does not allow the next sensor in the application to activate until the signal is received.
6. Functions 6.1 Functions Besides the trimmers for sensitivity adjustment and time delays, the PAM03 module has 4 dip switches controlling other useful features. The settings of the dip switches is common to all sensor sets connected to the PAM module.
"!" setting has its individual warning relay connected. The factory setting is '!'. When several PAM03 modules are connected, then the common warning relay is recommended. All warnings from all "Common" modules are routed via one common warning relay.
To verify that cables, response times, relay outputs and sensors are working correctly, we recommend testing the sensor before the gate or door opens or closes by using the PAM03 test function. After the initial approval of the installation, the door controller should run automatic tests of the door function.
8. Recommended door settings For use in a door application, best practice is to use these settings for the PAM03 module and MOFx sensors unless otherwise indicated by the specific circumstances of the installation: • Sensitivity adjustment trimmers: Automatic • ON-Delay trimmer: 0 •...
