. FEATURES

• State-of-the-art circuit

• Durable housing

• Dual photoelectric beam sensor

• Minimum false alarms

• Indoor and outdoor use

• Excellent immunity to freezing, snow, rain, fog, and other
bad weather conditions

• Anti-frost design

• N.C. tamper switch included

Note: The VMX-150D / 300D / 450D are designed to detect
movement of an intruder. However, note that environmental
disturbances in the protected area may also cause the sensor to
create an alarm. Test the detector periodically for continuous
satisfactory operation before arming the alarm system.

. INSTALLATION

Avoid blocking objects

Avoid direct sunlight and keep the
max. detecting range as prescribed

Do not mount unit on un­secure or non-solid surface

When installing several units,
mount as shown above

3.1 Mounting

A. Wall Installation

( 1 )

Loosen the cover locking screw and remove the cover. Loosen
the unit setting screw at the lower part of the unit. Slide the
mounting plate downwards and remove it.

( 2 )

Feed the wires through the wiring holes of the mounting plate
before fixing the plate to the wall.

( 3 )

Fix the mounting plate firmly on the wall with the mounting
screws supplied.

B. Pole Installation

( 1 )

Use a 43 mm (1.66”) mounting pole

( 2 )

Fix the clamps onto mounting plate with supplied screws. Place
the clamps around the pole and tighten firmly with the pole
locking screws.

( 3 )

Feed the wires through the wiring hole of the mounting plate

.

3.2 Wiring

(transmitter and receiver)

• (+):

Connect to the (+) output of a 10 to 24 VDC power source.

• (–):

Connect to (–) output of a 10 to 24 VDC power source.

• TAMPER:

Connect to the N.C. tamper circuit of the control panel.

• ALARM (receiver only):

Connect to N.C. burglar zone input.

NOTE: Grounding may be necessary, depending on the location

.

3.3 Alignment

A . Eyeball - make horizontal / vertical alignments visually:

•

Look into one of the transmitter's viewfinders (one of the four
holes located between the two lenses) at a 45° angle.

•

Adjust the lens horizontally by turning it left and right by hand until
the receiver is clearly seen in the viewfinder.

•

Use a screwdriver to turn the vertical adjustment screw (above the
lens on the lens bracket) clockwise or counterclockwise until the
receiver is clearly seen in the viewfinder.

•

Repeat the same steps for the receiver

.

Note: If you cannot see the opposite unit in the viewfinder, put a
sheet of white paper near the unit to be seen. Move your eyes
about 5 cm away from the viewfinder and try again.

B . Meter - fine tune the receiver's adjustment:

•

Set the range of a volt-ohm meter (VOM) to 0-9 VDC.

•

Insert the red (+) probe into the (+) terminal and the black (–)
probe into the (–) terminal. Measure the voltage.

•

Adjust the horizontal angle by hand until the VOM indicates the
highest voltage.

•

Adjust the vertical angle by turning the vertical adjustment screw
until the VOM indicates the highest voltage.

•

Do not interrupt the beam while adjusting. 2.7 VDC is the
maximum possible reading. Anything over 2.0 VDC is good, and
over 1.5 VDC is acceptable. The higher the reading, the better. In
misty areas, the

reading must be over 2.0 VDC.

3.4 Testing the system

•

Power up the transmitter and receiver. If the LED remains steadily
ON even when the beam is not interrupted, realign the units.

•

Walk between the transmitter and receiver at various speeds to
interrupt the beams. Adjust the delay time control as needed.

•

Detection will occur only if both the upper and lower beams are
simultaneously interrupted.

• The beam interrupt control determines how long the beam can be interrupted before triggering the alarm.

• Adjust the beam interrupt control as required at the specific site. You may need to make adjustments later after completing the walk test.

•

The following figures show the typical values for sensing an adult.

Fast running (50 ms)

Jogging (100 ms)

Fast walk (200 ms)

Normal walk (350 ms) Slow motion (500 ms)

TROUBLE CHECK REMEDY

Transmitter LED does not light Incorrectly wired and/or insufficient voltage Ensure the power supply to the transmitter is

10 to 24 VDC
Receiver LED never lights up when the beam
is interrupted

Insufficient voltage
Beam reflected away from receiver
Beams not simultaneously interrupted

Raise voltage

Clean the cover

Check overall installation
Beams interrupted and LED lights, but no
alarm is triggered

Alarm trigger cable may be cut, or relay
contacts stuck due to overloading

Check wiring and the effect of the load on the

output level or overhaul the unit
Alarm LED continuously illuminated Lenses out of alignment

Beams are blocked
Cover is foggy or dirty

Realign the lenses

Remove any obstacles

Clean the cover
Alarm trigger becomes erratic in bad weather Lenses out of alignment Check overall system installation. If still

erratic, realign the lenses
Frequent false alarms triggered by leaves,
birds, etc

Too sensitive
Bad location

Reduce beam interrupt speed

Change location
