INTRODUCTION
The R-Series are multi beam active infrared sensors, consisting of a transmitter unit that sends
syncronised beams of infrared light to a receiver unit, which evaluates this stream of infrared
continuously. An alarm signal is generated when either a single beam or two adjacent beams are
interrupted simultaneously (depending on setup).
R-Series are available in 3, 4, 6, 8 and 10 beam configurations with lengths varying from 560mm to
2000mm and offer exceptional performance and stability in both internal and external environments.
They are ideal for protecting single windows, a series of windows, doors, ceilings, skylights, roller doors
or anywhere where a curtain of protection would enhance the ability of early intruder detection.
R-Series are simple to adjust using the multidirectional swivel bracket that allows 180 degrees of
alignment. The onboard alignment buzzer and LED will simplify installations, just align the bottoms of
the beams on the same plane, making sure the two e-shields are parallel with each other. Then aim the
two e - shields at each other and lock in place once correct alignment has been achieved.
FEATURES
Durable aluminum casing, with UV treated high impact resistant PVC ends.
Stock colour is white, whilst other colours are available on request. (a small surcharge and minimum
order quantities will apply)

OPERATIONAL RANGE
The range depends on the alignment, reflections and environmental brightness. The TX unit offers 4
selectable range settings, 5 – 15M for external installations and 10 – 30M for internal installations.
Range settings are achieved by placing links on “S1” and “S2” to correspond to your requirements from
table 3 .
Caution: Excessive power can compromise the beams integrity by generating too much Infrared signal,
which might cause reflections from surrounding objects, and insufficient infrared signal can produce
unwanted alarms from bright light from surrounding areas. First identify the minimum level required to
operate the e – Shield, then step the power up to the next setting and thoroughly re-test the system.

INSTALLATION
Remove rubber cover cap (No 1 in Figure 5)
Remove cover screw (No 2 in Figure 5)
Remove cover to expose terminal block (No 3 in Figure5)
Knock out circular cable entry hole leading to terminal block ( X in Figure 5)
Thread cable through back of base ( Y in Figure 5) and feed through cable knockouts ( X in Figure 5)
Mount the Transmitter and Receiver at the same height from ground level, facing each other.
Connect wires to terminal block
After alignment, lock in place top and bottom of both transmitter and receiver with rotation locking screw
(No 6 in Figure 5)
Replace front cover and fix in place with screw
Replace rubber front cover cap

ALIGNMENT
Figure 1
ORIENTATION
Direct sunlight can reduce the efficiency of the receiver and possible cause false alarms. In order to
prevent such alarms orientate the receiver away from the sun.
Figure 2
MULTIPLE BEAM INSTALLATIONS
In multi beam installations it is necessary to alternate the Receiver and transmitter in order to avoid
interferences.

TAMPER PROTECTION
Every unit has a tamper switch located under the covers protecting the cable terminals. If a tamper function is
required, connect the terminals marked “TAMP” on the RX unit in series with your alarm circuit (figure xxx). If a
24Hr tamper circuit is required, enable the panels dual end of line feature and terminate accordingly.
The transmitters tamper switch must be closed prior to beam alignment.
