System overview
The ISC-FPB1-W60QF, ISC-FPB1-W120QF, and ISC-FPB1-W200QF are quad-beam
photoelectric detectors designed for indoor and outdoor applications. Consisting of a
separate transmitter and receiver, an alarm is activated when a person passes through the
beams. Combination of features and adjustable parameters allow for better catch
performance, lower false alarm rates, and reduced effects of environmental disturbances.
Features
For stable operation, the detectors are equipped with the following feautres:
100% Sensitivity Allowance
Maintains stable operation even if 99% of beam energy is cut, for example by rain, fog, frost,
and so on.
Quad Beam Detection
Fewer false alarms caused by birds and other small animals because all four beams must be
blocked simultaneously to cause an alarm.
Beam Power Control
Select the appropriate beam intensity relative to the detection range to minimize reflection on
nearby walls and cross-talk with other detectors.
Beam Interruption Time Control
Use to change the beam interruption time to best fit the application.

Wiring routes
Refer to the graphics below for wiring routes examples. The illustrations depict both one, and
two sets of detector systems on a single wire run.
The graphics below show simple examples of wiring concepts, depicting how to power the
transmitter and receiver pairs, and how to combine alarm outputs. Local regulatory
requirements and technical parameters specific to a connected control panel determine the
exact details of the wiring. Review local regulations and the connected control panels
technical documentation before planning wire routes and connections. Selecting the proper
wire routes and gauges depend on the number of devices, overall distance, and voltage drop
parameters for each individual device.

Refer to the following for sensitivity adjustments.
Selectable beams
Crosstalk occurs when multiple beams are stacked or when used in long distances which
might cause a missed alarm (no catch). The devices are equipped with 8 different selectable
beam channels (2 Groups and 4 Channels) to prevent crosstalking. The selectable beam
channel feature allows the receiver to ignore the beams received from other transmitters
when the installation requires multiple devices to be placed in an area where a receiver is in
the beam spread of multiple transmitters. For more information on crosstalking, refer to
Installing multiple sets (stacking), page 25.
Selectable AND/OR Gate
Environmental conditions might require higher false alarm tolerance against smaller objects
passing through the detector's line of sight. To do this, set the AND/OR gate option to AND
gate mode that only causes an alarm condition when all four infrared beams are interrupted
simultaneously.
High Security applications might require the detection of smaller objects passing through the
detector's line of sight. To do this, set the AND/OR gate option to OR gate mode that causes
an alarm condition when either the upper two beams or the lower two beams are interrupted.
Use the selectable dip switches to choose the AND/OR GATE option on the receiver.
5.3
5.4
Level LED
The Level LED shows the beams energy level received during alignment. As more beam energy
is received, the illumination time shortens as follows: ON => OFF once => OFF twice => OFF
three times => Flashing => ON three times => ON twice => ON once => OFF.
When the LED turns off, the alignment is complete.
Refer to Console overview for Status Indicator locations (callout #6).
EDC (Environmental Discrimination Circuit)
The EDC generates a signal when the beam power level is significantly reduced due to
environmental conditions such as fog or rain. Two Bypass switch features are used at the
receiver, Bypass Switch Off, and Bypass Switch On.
The inability to operate for more than 3 seconds due to environmental conditions is defined as
a “Poor Environmental Condition.”

relay has been activated.
Notice!
Connect the EDC to an input circuit and check the system any time the EDC relay is activated.
5.5
5.6
Notice!
The EDC feature was not investigated by Underwriters Laboratories (UL).
Beam interruption time
The beam interruption time defines the amount of time an intruder must spend in the beam
path before an alarm is generated. For instance, if the interruption time is set at 100 ms, the
detector only generates an alarm if the beams are blocked for more than 100 ms.
Notice!
For UL applications, do not set the interrupt time above 75 ms.
Beam power control
The receiver is at optimal detection level when the transmitter's Beam Power Control setting
matches the installation range. When the Beam Power is not reduced to match shorter
distance, reflection off of nearby surfaces may occur and may cause a missed alarm (no
catch). Beam Power level set to greater than the installation range may also cause cross-talk
with other devices in the line of sight of the transmitter. The Beam Power Control adjusts the
amount of beam energy for optimal range.

High Density
Multiple devices may be stacked on top of each other in high security installations which also
require higher false alarm tolerance against smaller objects. You can use the high density
alarm feature to detect larger objects that only partly interrupt the beams of individual
devices.
This feature allows an alarm condition to be generated when beam pairs are interrupted on
adjacent devices, but not on all four beams within one device.
Connect the first receiver's OUT terminal to the second receiver's IN terminal to form and AND
gate between the two units when stacking units on top of each other. Follow the same
procedure to link up to 8 devices when stacking more than two devices.
–Only the alarm function is linked between the devices. The EDC and tamper connections
are not affected by this feature.
–All connected devices must be set to AND gate mode when using the High Density.
–Use only those connectors which are shipped with the product.
–The High Density link cable between devices can not exceed 2 m (6.5 ft) length.
–Always connect an OUT terminal with another device's IN terminal.
–Do not link OUT terminals of different devices with each other.
–Do not link IN terminals of different devices with each other.
–Do not connect IN and OUT terminals in parallel with each other.

This section describes the positioning of photobeam sets as well as several examples of how
they are stacked. Depending on your installation environment, you can install a single or up to
a four-level stack for maximum coverage.
The term ”set“ describes one transmitter and one receiver pairing. The term “crosstalk” is a
type of interference.
Interference
Photobeam interference or ”crosstalk” in a single or multiple stack occurs when more than
one transmitter signal is received by one receiver and interferes with normal operation.
Each photobeam set can be programmed to a specific group; Group A or Group B in order to
reduce crosstalk interference in a single stack environment. In a multi-stack environment, you
can program each photobeam set to a specific group and channel.
Installation recommendations
When installing multiple sets, it is recommended to install them in a similar fashion as
depicted in the illustration below, whereby each transmitter (T) is emitting it’s beam in an
opposing direction from the other transmitter, and being received by its corresponding
receiver (R).
7.1
Notice!
Photobeam group/channel dip switch selections and synchro wires are not required when
installing a photobeam set (one transmitter and one receiver).
Group selection
The Group option allows you to install multiple sets of photobeams, covering a larger
perimeter area, while reducing the chances of crosstalk and interference. The options to
choose from include Group A or Group B.
Group selection is accomplished through setting Dip Switch 1 to either the ON, or OFF
position on both the transmitter and receiver. Set each transmitter/receiver set to the same
group for proper functionality. Refer to the graphic below for dip switch locations on both the
transmitter and receiver.
The use of the beam Group A/Group B selection is best illustrated below.

Transmitters emitting beams that are assigned to Group A do not interfere with receivers
collecting beam signals from transmitters assigned to Group B. The same holds true for
transmitters assigned to Group B not interfering with receivers assigned to Group A. The
frequencies emitted from Group A are different than the frequencies emitted from Group B,
and therefore do not interfere with one another.
Channel selection
Selecting different channels (frequencies) on the transmitter/receiver sets allows you to
further expand your photobeam stacking capabilities and coverage. Multi-stack configurations
allow you to increase the area of protection with respect to height This occurs by assigning
each stack (row) a specific channel setting as you build multiple photobeam stacks, one above
the other. Beam crosstalking and interference between stacks are eliminated as each stack
(row) has its own unique channel.
When installing multiple stacks, the initial stack must be assigned as the Master (notated as
“M” in the corresponding tables located on each transmitter and receiver). Each additional
stack is assigned a separate channel number (1 to 3). You cannot have a multiple stack
configuration without assigning one stack as the Master. Refer to the transmitter and receiver
illustrations in the previous section for channel programming and dip switch locations
(Channels 1 to 3).
In a multi-stack configuration, it is possible to have a stack or a row of four-beam sets
assigned to Group A, with each stack also being assigned to a specific channel, channel M
(Master), 1, 2, or 3. A similar configuration is possible with a multiple stack configuration
assigned to Group B.
Channels 1, 2, and 3 emit beams only when Channel M (Master) is active. Channels 1, 2
and/or 3 emit beams only when connected to the Channel M stack through the use of a
“synchro” wire. Refer to Synchro wiring, page 29 for more details.

Use synchronized (abbreviated “synchro”) wires when installing two or more sets in the same
group by using the SYNCHRO terminal on each transmitter. Synchro wires allow each
transmitter’s frequency to be synchronized at the same starting point to eliminate false
emissions to the receiver. Synchro wires are not required between the receivers. Refer to the
graphic below depicting a synchro wiring connection between two photobeam stacks (a
maximum of 4 stacks are supported).
Figure 7.4: Synchro wiring
Callout ﹘ Description
1 ー Receiver
2 ー Transmitter (synchro terminals on transmitters only)
3 ー Synchro wire
The synchro wire should be more than 0.65 mm (22 AWG) and run no longer than 20 m (66 ft)
in length. Synchro wiring should only be wired to the same group (Group A to Group A, or
Group B to Group B), and the connected devices must use a common power supply.
Notice!
The system does not activate when synchro wires are connected improperly. The POWER LED
flashes when the required wires are not connected correctly.
Caution!
When the POWER LED flashes, shut off the power and reconnect the wires correctly.
Photobeam sets combined together form a stack. A stack is similar to a row in that you can
install up to four rows (stacks) of photobeams when securing a perimeter, or area. In the
following sections, four stacking examples are shown with brief descriptions as to why you
might install a stack configuration.
Single stacking
