The RP1EV Photo Eyes must be installed according to EN60335-2-95, EN 60335-2-103 and EN12453.
When properly connected and aligned, the photoelectric sensor will detect an obstruction in the path of its beam.
If an obstruction breaks the beam while the door/gate is moving, the operator will stop and reverse either partially or to a limit,
dependent on opener model and configuration.
Check the following:
•
Minimum distance between the transmitter and reflector 1.5m. Maximum distance 15m.
•
The RP1EV is supplied with 2m of cable.
•
Photoelectric sensor can be mounted either left or right side.
•
The RP1EV must be installed securely to a solid surface such as the wall. The correct installation technique must be used
depending on the condition.
•
The photoelectric sensor must be installed so that it faces the reflector across the entrapment zone without any obstructions.
•
No part of the door (or door tracks, springs, hinges, rollers or other hardware) can obstruct the beam while the door is closing.
•
Any environmental issue that may impede the operation of the RP1EV. (e.g. condensation, direct sunlight)
•
Any reflective surface on vehicles or surroundings that may affect the operation of the RP1EV.
•
When installing multiple RP1EV's, ensure they are installed so that they function independently of each other, and the
photoelectric sensors do not align with the other reflector.
The RP1EV Photo Eyes for your installation will be determined by the functional requirements of the door or gate.
To ensure the installation meets these requirements, refer to EN60335-2-95, EN 60335-2-103 and EN12453
