Cautions and Warnings

WARNING … Not to be used for Personnel Protection

Never use product as sensing devices for personnel protection. Doing so could cause serious injury or death. These sensors do NOT include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow their use in personnel safety applications. A sensor failure or malfunction can cause either an energized or de-energized sensor output condition.

UL 325 Non-compliant.

Retroreflective photoeyes rely on a reflective surface (a reflector) for proper operation. In some cases a vehicle with reflective surface at a given distance can act as a reflector and allow the gate to close on a car.

EMX Industries Inc. assumes no responsibility in this case and all risk is on the installer, designer and user of the gate system with a retroreflective photoeye. In case such risk is not acceptable, EMX

Industries Inc. strongly recommends the use of a through beam type of photoeye.

Product Overview

Product may be used for activation of gates or doors when the beam is interrupted. The NIR-50 failsafe reflective sensor uses an infrared signal that is returned from a reflector mounted on the opposite side of the opening to be monitored.

Troubleshooting

Symptom Possible cause

Units stays in detect Unit out of alignment

Reflector covered with dirt, dust, snow, or water

Water inside of reflector

Solution

Verify alignment

Clean reflector surface of contaminants

Replace reflector

Add Reflector 0-HD

No Output

No Detection

No power

Bad Connection, wires broken

Mis-wired

Unit not powered

Other reflective surface causing signal return

Check wiring as per chart on page 2

Check connections

Verify wired to correct inputs on operator

Check Power

Check surrounding area for reflective surface

Installation

Recommended alignment technique is to mount the NIR-50 at the desired location and hold reflector about 2 or 3 feet in front of the unit and while watching the lights to assure that both remain lit, move backward to the desired mounting location for the reflector. You may have to move the reflector up, down, left or right to keep the reflector in the middle of the signal path. This assures the least troublesome set up by keeping the reflector off the edges of the signal where any movement may take it out of alignment. Note: the signal pattern is only 2 feet diameter.
