Configuration
Configure the photo eyes according to the following procedure.
1. If the photo eye has an internal switch for setting Light Operate versus Dark Operate, select Light Operate.
2. If the photo eye has a relay output and has both NO and NC terminals, some experimentation may be re-
quired to determine the proper connection because, when its in the Light Operate mode, the output relay
is normally energized and releases when the beam is blocked.
Some manufacturers label an output as NO, when it is actually an NC contact.
If the photo eye has a solid-state output, you must choose a sinking-type connection.
Photo Eye Connections
Connect the three wires to the receiver and two wires to the emitter according to the following procedure.
1. Obtain the +24 Volt source power at one of the three spade-terminals on the power module.
2. Obtain the 24 Volt Common from screw-terminals on Terminal Nos. 14 or 15 (which are labeled Photo Eye
Power Common) on the Smart DC Controller.
NOTE: The -24 Volt Photo Eye Power also supplies the photo eye output Common.
3. Perform one of the following as applicable:
Š If the photo eye spans the road, connect the NO or NC output to Terminal No. 19 on the Smart DC Controller.
Š If the photo eye spans the gate’s open storage area as in a slide gate scenario, connect the NO or NC output to
Terminal No. 17 on the Smart DC Controller. (Not used on StrongArm M30/M50.)
Photo Eye Alignment
Most photo eyes require careful optical alignment in order to aim the emitter beam to the center of the receiver
or reflector. In order to avoid false triggering, it is important to carefully align the system, especially with retro-
reflective photoelectric sensors. To that end, HySecurity has provided a unique feature that turns power on to the
photo eyes and causes a buzzer to chirp when the photo eye enters and exits alignment. Align the photo eyes
using this feature by taking the following steps:
1. Refer to “User Menu: Table 1.” on page 5-4.
2. Move the barrier arm off (away from) the close limit.
3. Set the menu item [PE_0] to [PE_1] .
4. Start aligning the photo eyes; the buzzer will chirp twice when the beam is broken and once when
remade. (The parameter will automatically reset the next time the Close Limit Switch is triggered.)
Monitored Connection
A monitored connection tests for the presence and correct operaton of the photo eye prior to each gate acti-
vation and prevents gate operation if any fault is present. The Installer Menu item [PC_0] must be changed to
[PC_1] to enable this feature.
Photo Eye Function
If the gate is stationary, a tripped photo eye will prevent the gate from starting in either direction. If tripped while
in motion, the standard function is to pause the gate motion and then automatically restart again if the photo eye
is clear within five seconds. An optional setting in the Installer Menu will cause a 2 second reversal of travel. See
EC and EO in “Installer Menu: Table 2.” on page 3-7.
