Only trained and
qualified personnel
may install and setup
the sensor.

The manufacturer of the door system is responsible for carrying out a risk assessment and installing the sensor and
the door system in compliance with applicable national and international regulations and standards on door safety.

After installation,
save an access code
to lock the sensor.

Test the good functioning
of the installation before
leaving the premises.

The warranty is void if
unauthorized repairs
are made or attempted
by unauthorized
personnel.

MOUNTING TIPS

*

Do not cover the
sensor.

*In cold storage rooms (<0°), the functionality of the infrared part is affected by condensation, frost, mist etc. The radar part functions properly.

2

Avoid extreme
vibrations.

Avoid proximity to neon
lamps or moving objects.

Avoid exposing the
sensor to sudden
temperature changes.

HOW TO USE THE REMOTE CONTROL

After unlocking, the red LED
flashes and the sensor can be
adjusted by remote control.

ADJUSTING ONE OR MORE PARAMETERS

CHECKING A VALUE

RESTORING TO FACTORY VALUES

If the red LED flashes quickly after unlocking, enter an
access code from 1 to 4 digits.
If you do not know the access code, cut and restore
the power supply. During 1 minute, you can access
the sensor without introducing any access code.

x

The number of flashes
indicates the value of
the chosen parameter.

SAVING AN ACCESS CODE

The access code is recommended for sensors installed close to each other.

DELET ING AN ACCESS CODE

If you do not know the access code, cut and restore the power supply.
During 1 minute, you can access the sensor without introducing any access code.

By turning this screw, the
radar field angle is reduced or
increased (from -8° to +22°).

The total angle is the sum of the sensor angle and the radar field angle.

Sensor angle: 30°
Radar field angle: -8°

Total angle: 22°

15-20 s 3 s

Launch a setup to make a reference picture.
Step out of the detection field and do not leave any tools inside the detection field.

After first power on, the sensor launches a setup and after each power cut a short setup is launched.

IMPORTANT: Test the good functioning of the installation before leaving the premises.
