- Plug in the motor and heater plugs and turn on.
-
15Test the sensor.Plug in the unit using the grey cable, the unit will now go through a RESET and be ready for operation, test sensors are operating the unit in the correct manner, it is easier to do the test functions without the doors, set the front sensors safety beam, set up the sensor adjustments if required, these are pre-set in the factory but may need site-specific adjustments.
- To adjust the sensor- carefully take the cover off. You can also adjust the sensitivity of the sensor by pressing either of the top buttons on the right – plus or minus.
- Retest the doors- refit the cover on the sensor.
- External sensor- IX10. This is the one fitted to the front perimeter frame.
Note: This sensor also has an infrared safety beam built in. When Sensor is turned on – it takes a picture of the area it is covering and memorises it. - Make sure there isn’t anything that can set off the sensor incorrectly. Make sure that the internal sensor can’t be set off as well. Stand back from the doors and walk towards it – make sure the sensor is activating 1.8 Metres before the opening.
- Take the cover off the sensor and swivel left or right and up and down to suit.
- Infrared Safety Beam needs to be checked and tested. Push the grey button
on the front of the sensor two times- these will activate led beams on the floor
to show activation area. To adjust the width of the beam there are a plus or minus screws on the front of the sensor. Adjust which one you need to reduce or increase the beam width. To adjust the angle of the beam and where it starts you twist the red button clockwise or anti-clockwise – make sure that the beam isn’t hitting the front of the door. Both of these adjustments are mechanical so the door will keep these changes – there aren’t any further steps needed. - Once the infrared beam is set correctly, refit the sensor cover.
