When transmitter frequency is set to low battery life will be increased. The range will be reduced at this setting. However when the transmitter is powered by 12/24 VDC or 24 VAC the range will be maximum regardless of the jumper setting.
Lens Alignment
(Fig 3)
Both the transmitter and receiver lenses may be aligned left, right or straight ahead. To align gently pull the lens stem straight out from mounting position and snap back into place pointing in the desired direction.
Units should be placed a minimum of 12 – 16 inches from the floor. Across from and lenses facing each other. The receiver red detect LED will be on when the beam is broken or not aligned.
Note: Rain, dust, fog, excess light or other adverse conditions may reduce the maximum range.

BPE-50 Instructions rev 1.2 06/20/2013
Installation
(Fig 4)
Place the BPE-50 away from heat and electromagnetic sources for best operation. Mount units a minimum of
12 inches 30 cm from the floor.
Apply power to the units and set jumpers per instruction on see figures 1 and 2.
Test installation to insure desired and proper operation.
All local and operator manufacturer installation instructions should be followed.
The BPE-50 transmitter may be hooked up to an edge sensor for alternative activation operation.
The BPE-50 does not require any special care, but it is necessary to check condition occasionally to insure they are operating correctly. (Batteries are still operational if on battery power)
Recommended battery replacement is the Varta ERAA 3V6
2400 .
