What’s Included:
Possible cause
!
Power not connected, or power wires cut
!
Transmitter jumper “JMP1” is programmed
in the open position
Power not connected, or power wires cut
Receiver jumper “JMP1” is programmed in the open
position
Transmitter and receiver are out of alignment
Mounted too close to a shiny surface which causes
the beam to reflect in multiple angles
!
Transmitter and receiver are out of alignment
!
The cover on the end cap of the receiver with the
tamper button is not snapped in place, or the
tamper button is not in the right position
!
Interference from other sensors
!
Wind blowing leaves into beam
!
Rain water running into the beam
!
Other interference outdoors
Possible solution
!
Test the power and ground wire with a
voltage meter to ensure power is
connected and is of the correct voltage.
!
Change the programming, or if no LED
is desired, leave the jumper in the open
position.
Test the power and ground wire with a voltage
meter to ensure power is connected and is of
the correct voltage.
Change the programming, unless having the
LED not remain turned ON is better for that
installation.
Re-align the transmitter and receiver.
Remount the curtain sensor, or repaint the
surface to cut down on the reflection.
!
Re-align the transmitter and receiver.
!
Check that the tamper button and the cover
for the tamper button are mounted correctly.
!
Re-install so that one sensor does not
interfere with another sensor.
!
Cut back leafy vegetation, and/or
!
Program for two-beam use (see table 2).
!
Do not mount under the edge of the roof.
!
Mount under a roof or shelter.
Problem
Transmitter LED never
turns ON
Receiver LED never turns
ON
Receiver LED does not
turn ON unless the sensor
is triggered
Receiver LED flashes all
the time
Does not trigger when
beam is broken
Receiver continuously
triggers the alarm
False alarm

Connecting Multiple Curtain Sensors
Several units can be connected together in parallel to
the same power supply output and alarm input of an
alarm control panel, as shown in fig. 10.
Mount the Transmitter and Receiver, and Test
the Sensor
1. Temporarily mount the transmitter and receiver to
where they are expected to be mounted, so the
mounting position can be changed if necessary.
2. Connect the transmitter and the receiver.
3. Once it is powered up, test the curtain sensor by
breaking two adjacent beams or any single beam
(depending on how programmed).
4. The curtain sensor also has red LEDs which can be
used for testing purposes (see Table 2).
5. After the curtain sensor is tested and aligned,
permanently mount it.
6. After it is mounted, test the curtain sensor again.
Tamper Protection
The receiver and the transmitter both have a tamper
switch on one end to protect against someone
attempting to open the unit. However, there is no
separate tamper output to the alarm control panel.
Instead, the alarm output is triggered if the cover of
the end cap with the tamper button is removed, if the
transmitter or receiver is moved out of alignment, or if
power is disconnected.
