This product is an accessory or part of a system. Always read and follow the
manufacturer’s instructions for the equipment you are connecting this product to. Comply with
all applicable codes and safety regulations. Failure to do so may result in damage, injury or
death!

Product Overview
Product may be used for activation of gates or doors when the beam is interrupted. The NIR uses an Infrared
signal that is returned from a reflector mounted on the opposite side of the opening to be monitored.
WARNING … Not to be used for Personnel Protection
These sensors do NOT include the self-checking redundant circuitry
necessary to allow their use in personnel safety applications. A sensor failure or
malfunction can cause either an energized or de-energized sensor output
condition. UL 325 Non-compliant
Never use product as sensing devices for personnel
protection. Doing so could cause serious injury or death.

Installation
Recommended alignment technique is to mount the NIR at the desired location and hold reflector about 2
or 3 feet in front of the unit and while watching the lights to assure that both remain lit, move backward
to the desired mounting location for the reflector. You may have to move the reflector up, down, left or
right to keep the reflector in the middle of the signal path. This assures the least troublesome set up by
keeping the reflector off the edges of the signal where any movement may take it out of alignment.
Note: the signal pattern is only 2 feet diameter.
Installer notes:
TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE
Symptoms Possible cause Possible Solution
