* Note: Only if unavoidable,
mount so transmitter, not
receiver, faces the sun
Note: If the wires will
be running out the end,
place sensors so wires
are at the bottom. If
sensors must be
placed so wires are at
top, seal the opening
with silicone to prevent
water from leaking in.

Fig. 11: Selectable 3-Channel Beam Frequency:
The sensor beam frequency can be set at different frequencies on-site
to avoid interference from other photobeam sensors nearby. To select
between three different beam frequencies, set the jumper of the
transmitter side and receiver side. See fig. 11 for jumper position. Frequency A
Frequency B
Frequency C
Note: If a different frequency is selected, power must be cycled on the
transmitter and receiver after the new frequency is selected.
Note: Both the transmitter and the receiver of each pair must be set to
matching frequencies to work together correctly.

Features:
Multi-frequency to reduce interference between
multiple units.
Install on windows, doorways, skylights, fence
tops, and any place where space is limited.
Perfect for indoor and outdoor* perimeter security.
Slim-line design (
7 /
8
” x 1 5 /
16
”).
2, 4, 6, 8, or 10 separate photoelectric beam
sensors. Programmable trigger upon simultaneous
breaking of any single or 2 adjacent beams.
(11” sensor requires both beams to be broken.)
Rugged aluminum construction.
Anti-tamper circuit for use when power is cut or
end cap is removed.
No synchronizing wires required.
N.O./N.C. relay output.
LED alignment indicator.
L-brackets and mounting hardware included.
Important
Do not connect to power until the sensor is
completely installed and the installation has been
double-checked.
Choose a Location
When used outdoors, place the curtain sensor
under a roof or shelter. This will reduce the
chance of false alarms caused by rain or snow.
To prevent erratic operation and/or false alarms:
Wind will not directly cause false alarms, but
could cause leaves or similar objects to fly or
wave into the beams. Do not mount near trees,
bushes, or other leafy vegetation (see fig. 2).
Do not mount where water which runs off the
roof might break the beam (see fig. 2). In such a
case, the sensor must be sheltered.
Do not mount near reflective surfaces, as this
could prevent the sensor from working properly.
Do not mount where the transmitter or receiver
could be splashed by water or mud.
Do not mount where the unit could be suddenly
exposed to a bright light, such as a floodlight or a
passing automobile’s headlight.
Do not let sunlight or any direct beam of light shine
directly on curtain beam sensor. If unavoidable,
mount so the transmitter, not the receiver, faces the
sun (see fig. 3).
Do not mount where animals or other objects could
accidently break the beams.
