Important
Do not connect to power until the sensor is
completely installed and the installation has
been double-checked.
If it becomes necessary to replace a sensor
for maintenance purposes, always replace
both the transmitter and receiver at the same
time.
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.

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. 9.
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 the green LED on the
receiver & transmitter will turn ON. Test the curtain
sensor by breaking two adjacent beams or any single
beam.
Note: Breaking of 1 beam takes 2 sec. to trigger and
breaking of 2 adjacent beams takes 0.5 sec. to
trigger.
4.Aside from the buzzer alignment indicator, the
curtain sensor also has a red LED located on the
receiver which can be used for testing purposes. If
the red LED is ON, it indicates the beam is broken.
5. After the curtain sensor is tested and aligned,
replace the end caps & 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.
Adjusting the location of sensor’s IR beam (applicable for 4,6 & 8 beam models only)
The location of sensor’s IR beam can be adjusted by following the steps below.
1. Remove the end caps of the transmitter, see fig.10.
2. Remove the curtain sensor’s lens strip as shown on fig.11
3. Unplug the wire connector as shown in fig.12
4. Loosen the 2 screws on each IR module and adjust the distance of the IR module to desired location
and tighten the screw to secure it. see fig.13
5. Cut the aluminum housing of the curtain sensor to shorten it if necessary as shown in fig.13
6. Drill 2 holes at the end of the aluminum housing by using the cut-off piece as a template. See fig.13
7. Cut the curtain sensor’s lens strip to correspond to the length of the aluminum housing.
8. Plug back the wire connector, replace the lens strip and end caps of the curtain sensor.
9. Repeat the procedure on the curtain sensor’s receiver’s side.
Important Note:
a. The cut-off edge of the aluminum & lens strip must be free of burr.
b. Every screw had a rubber o-ring, take care not to misplace these o-rings.
c. The location of IR modules of both the receiver and transmitter must be the same.

Mounting the Curtain Sensor
1. Find a suitable location (see fig. 1):
a. The transmitter and receiver can be mounted
at any angle as long as they are parallel to
each other and directly facing each other, and
as long as the wires come out of the same
ends of both units (see fig. 4).
b. If multiple curtain sensors are set up to form
longer or deeper barriers, mount so that one
transmitter is not facing multiple receivers
(see fig.5).
c. The transmitter and receiver must not be
separated by more than the allowable
maximum range (see page 8).
2. Mount the transmitter and the receiver in such a
way that surface-mounted wires do not come out
from above the units. This is to prevent water
from entering via the wire holes. If this is
unavoidable, use silicone to completely cover the
area where the wires come out the holes to
prevent water from entering (see fig. 4).
3. Once a suitable mounting location has been
found, remove the two end caps of the transmitter
& receiver careful not to loose the small O-ring.
Locate the mounting holes. Use these holes as a
template, and mark their location on the wall with
a pencil.
4. Connect the wires (see figs. 7 and 8) before
permanently mounting the units to the wall.
Running the Wires
Run seven wires – 2 wires for power, 2 wires for
tamper switch, plus 3 wires for N.O., N.C. and
COM (if necessary) – from the alarm control
panel to the receiver of the curtain sensor.
Shielded cable is strongly suggested. See Table 1
for maximum wire length. Another four wires
must be run to the transmitter.
It may be more convenient to connect the two
power wires of the transmitter to the receiver’s
power wires. In this case, run nine wires to the
receiver: two wires to the power source, two
wires for the tamper switch, two (or three wires
depending on application) for the alarm signal,
and two to the transmitter.
NOTE: If burying the wires is required, make
sure to run them through electrical conduit.
Shielded cable is strongly suggested.
NOTE: If the wires are run along the wall, the
use of an armored cable is strongly suggested.
(See “Mounting the Curtain Sensor,” point 2, for
further considerations.)

water from leaking in.

Connecting the Wires
1.Receiver:
a. Locate the end cover where there’s a
label pasted at the back, slide down the
screw cover remove 1 screw and then
take out the end cover to expose the
PCB as shown in see fig. 7.
b. Remove the wire knockout located
beside the mounting hole and run seven
wires (or the no. of wires needed).
c. Then pierce an entry hole into the rubber
grommet and insert the wires. Connect
the wires into the terminal block
accordingly (see fig. 7).
d. Program the “JP1” jumper for buzzer
audio alignment indicator if necessary
(see Table 3).
e. Sensor response time can be program to
50, 100, 150 or 200ms if necesary,
please see fig.7 and table 2. The sensor
default response time is set at 50ms.
f. Program the trigger mode to desired
setting, see fig.7 and table 3.
2. Transmitter:
a. Locate the end cover where there’s a
label pasted at the back, remove 1
screw and then take out the end cover to
expose the PCB as shown in see fig.8.
b. Remove the wire knockout located
beside the mounting hole and run four
wires (or the no. of wires needed).
c. Then pierce an entry hole into the rubber
grommet and insert the wires. Connect
the wires into the terminal block
accordingly (see fig. 8).
d. Program the VR rotary knob for high or
low sensor, see fig.8 and table 3.
