READ BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION/PROGRAMMING/SET-UP
INSTALLATION
The sensor should be mounted securely to avoid extreme vibrations.
Choose a location that does not interfere with door hardware (e.g. finger guards, lock rods, etc.).
Do not cover the sensor.
Avoid moving objects in the detection field.
• All wiring harnesses used must a) be routed separate from any mains or non-class 2 voltage cables, or b) be rated for the mains voltage and suitable protection.
• Routing means must be used in accordance with national and local codes.
SAFETY
The door control unit and the header cover profile must be correctly grounded.
Only trained and qualified personnel are recommended for installation and set-up of the sensor.
Following installation, always test for proper operation
(according to ANSI 156.10) before leaving the premises.
The warranty is invalid if unauthorized repairs are made or attempted by unauthorized personnel.
MAINTENANCE
It is recommended to clean the optical parts at least once a year or more if required due to environmental conditions.
Do not use aggressive products to clean the optical parts.

MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
HOUSING PREPARATION
1 2 3
Remove the screw that secures the end cap to the sensor extrusion.
Pull out the lens from the top of the sensor extrusion. Do not use a screwdriver to pry the lens.
Remove the Master and all Slave circuit boards from the extrusion by pulling the tab of the angle adjustment clip away and downward from the extrusion, and rotating the circuit board out from the extrusion.
HOUSING PLACEMENT
CENTER-HUNG DOORS:
The extrusion end near the pivot edge should be far enough away from the door edge to prevent sensor/ finger-guard rubbing. Pay particular attention to the safety side of the door.
HINGE-HUNG DOORS:
Do not require as much clearance between sensor and hinge-side jamb.
Housing edge (including end cap) should be as close as possible to leading edge of door without creating mechanical interference with door jamb or an adjacent door.
HOUSING INSTALLATION
4 5
Align the housing with the top of the door at the chosen location (ensuring proper orientation) and then mark the mounting holes at both ends.
Avoid mounting holes near door seams.
Also mark the appropriate end for a wire-passage function hole (if required). This hole may be no more than 1" in diameter.
Determine the desired mounting location.
6 7
Align the housing with the pilot holes and secure to the door with the 2 provided screws.
Drill the marked holes (ensuring proper hole size).

JUMPER SETTINGS (cont.)
HOLD-TIME POTENTIOMETER
Located beside Jumper 2 on the Master board is the hold-time potentiometer.
Adjustability ranges from 0.1 – 4.5 seconds.
Clockwise rotation increases time delay.

WIRING
Wire to the terminal connector (shown below). Wiring will vary according to the application.
Sensor power must be supplied from a Class 2 supply source limited to 15 W.
Wiring shall be installed as required by local codes.

Explanation of wiring connection
Test input (when used as a monitored sensor)
(+) positive when utilizing monitoring
Ground (negative terminal if Input inhibition is used)
(-) negative when utilizing monitoring
Input inhibition: All detection is ignored. Infrared emission is stopped.
Inhibition occurs when 12 – 24 VAC/VDC ±10% is applied between terminal 3 and terminal 2.
Normally Open: JP2 factory default will close the relay contact on terminal 4 when the
SUPERSCAN-T is energized and not in detection. Loss of power results in a N.O. contact
Normally Closed: JP2 factory default will open the relay contact on terminal 5 when the
SUPERSCAN-T is energized and not in detection. Loss of power will result in a N.C. contact.
Common contact for relay
Power Input (-): 12 – 24 VAC/VDC ±10% must be supplied
Power Input (+): 12 – 24 VAC/VDC ±10% must be supplied

MODULE POSITION & ANGLE ADJUSTMENTS
MODULE POSITIONS
Positioning of modules within the extrusion on both sides is critical. The transmitter ("TX" below) must be at the leading edge of the door.

Each module’s angle may be set independently. Use the diagrams and chart below to adjust the module to obtain the correct angle.
Angles may need to also be adjusted after power-up and walk-testing.
1. Use the orientation shown to the right to insert the module into the clip.
2. Use the chart below to determine the clip setting for the desired angle.
The red line indicates the part of the module that will be set into the clip.

DETECTION ZONE ADJUSTMENTS
Each module’s detection zone may be set independently upon power-on.
Jumper 1 must be set to Normal Mode (see page 4) to make adjustments.
1. Power sensors with 12 – 24 VAC/VDC ±10%. LED should reflect Jumper 2 configuration (see page 5).
2. Use a white, gray, or black piece of cardboard (roughly 8" x 11") and hold it as shown in the diagram above.
3. Lift cardboard from the floor until it is detected. This determines the height of the inactive area (labeled "Y" in the diagram). If this height is not between 12 " – 16 " above the floor OR does not meet your requirements, an adjustment must be made to the detection distance.

- if zone Y is too high, turn the adjustment knob clockwise to increase the detection distance and decrease zone Y
- if zone Y is too low, turn the adjustment knob counterclockwise to decrease the detection distance and increase zone Y

FINISHING TOUCHES
1. Replace the endcaps and lens.
a. At the SUPERSCAN-T end of the cable, ensure enough slack to allow a relaxed connection at the terminal block.
b. Locate the hinge-side end cap. Remove the tab at the bottom of the cap to allow insertion of the plastic sheath. c. Insert the plastic sheath and install the end cap. d. Complete any mechnical adjustments.
e. Install the lens to fit tightly against the end cap and plastic sheath to hold it in place. f. Install other end cap.
2. Once all sensors have been adjusted, activate the door several times and allow it to go through a full cycle each time. Ensure that no false triggering (door re-cycling or stopping by itself at any point of travel) is occurring.
Ensure system compliance with all applicable safety standards (i.e. ANSI A156.10, 156.27).
TROUBLESHOOTING
Sensor does not work at all
No LED indications
Sensor output appears to be working opposite of what is expected
Door stops by itself before reaching full-open position
Faulty power supply
Faulty connections
Relay output may be configured improperly
Safety-side sensor may be seeing an adjacent wall/rail behind the door, near the open position
Power supply must be 12 – 24 VAC/VDC ±10%.
Check for correct power at terminals 7 and 8 of the affected module.
Observe LED indications on affected modules to help determine status.
Activation or safety is held in triggered mode
Erratic detection behavior occurring throughout the door’s opening and closing cycle
Detection module may be seeing the floor or unwanted object near the door
Possible faulty wiring at door transfer location
Observe LED status on safety side of door.
Locate module which is falsely triggering.
Check for proper detection angle and also check the detection range adjustment.
Sensor may need to be inhibited at a specific point of door travel at the safety side. Refer to terminal connections (page 6).
Reduce detection range on the affected module(s).
Detection should occur at 12" – 16" above the floor.
Refer to “Detection Zone Adjustments” (page 7).
Check for wire continuity at transfer location using a multi-meter.
Move wires around during testing to help locate any breaks.
Replace faulty wiring as necessary.
