5) Testing and checking operation
After the recognition phase, check that the LED on the photocell starts flashing (both on TX and RX). Check Table 2 for the state of the photocell based on the
way LED "L" flashes.

Warning: After you have added or removed any
photocells, the automation system must be tested
again according to the directions contained in the
installation manual.
6) Maintenance
The photocells do not require any special mainte-
nance work. However, it is necessary to check
them at least once every six months in order to
evaluate their condition (presence of damp,
oxides, etc.). The outer covering and lenses must

Status
The photocell is either not powered
or is faulty
Device not recognised by the control
unit
The TX transmits regularly
The RX receives a perfect signal.
The RX receives a fair signal
The RX receives a poor signal
The RX receives a very poor signal
The RX does not receive any signal

To check the photocells and make sure that there
is no interference with other devices, pass a 5 cm
diameter, 30 cm long cylinder on the optical axis,
first near TX, then near RX and finally at the mid-
point between them and make sure that in all

described in the previous paragraph.

order that that they will operate in normal condi-
tions for at least 10 years. It is, therefore, neces-

Detector for gate and door automation systems (type D according to EN standard 12453), consisting in a "TX"
transmitter and "RX" receiver.

The device can only be connected to "BlueBus" networks, from which it receives its power supply and sends output
signals.

Approximately 30° along the horizontal and vertical axes.
Up to 15m for a maximum TX-RX misalignment of ± 5° (the device can detect and signal an obstacle even in
particularly bad weather conditions).
Up to 50 m.
Up to 7 detectors with the protection function, and 2 with the opening command function.
The automatic synchronism prevents any interference among the various detectors.

Action
Make sure the voltage for the photocell terminals is
approximately 8-12 Vdc. If the voltage is correct, the photocell
is probably broken.
Repeat the learning procedure on the control unit. Make sure
that all the photocell pairs have different addresses

Make sure that the LED on TX flashes once slowly. Check to
