OPERATION
Once the light barrier is correctly installed, the emitter sends a beam of
infrared light modulated by pulses to the receiver, setting up a safety
barrier. Each time this barrier is blocked, the receiver activates the internal
red led and activates the alarm relay. All regulations on security of the
installation must be strictly observed.
APPLICATIONS
The FC330 light barrier has been developed for protection in automatic
doors, barriers and blinds. Also for access detection in alarm systems and
traffic control.
INSTALLATION
Check the integrity of the product to be installed.
All the safety regulations associated with the installation to be carried out
must be strictly observed.
&middot; Place it away from heat sources, humidity or excessive radiation and to a
minimum height of 30-40 cm from the floor, preventing reflection problems
with the light beam.
.
THE MANUFACTURER IS NOT RESPONSIBLE OF THE DAMAGE CAUSED BY AN
INCORRECT INSTALLATION OR IMPROPER OR CARELESS USE.
.
&middot; Avoid GASES or INFLAMMABLE PRODUCTS, as they are a serious danger
for security in electric installations.
&middot; Place emitter and receiver one in front the other, in the same axis and the
same height. The receiver includes a red LED to make alignment easier and,
once the system is powered, to indicate when there is no visibility between
the emitter and receiver.
&middot; Select the operating distance with the Jumper J1 placed in the receiver.
See Fig. 7

Jumper J1
OFF
Distance &gt; 15 m (m&aacute;ximum range)
NOTE: the operating distance can be reduced because of external, adverse
conditions such as dust, excess of light, rain, fog, etc.
The emitter is ready to operate with a 2.4 / 2.8Ah 3.6V Lithium battery AA
type or with a 12/24V AC/DC power supply applied to terminals 1 and 2.
Battery powered
To increase battery life (2 years) you can adjust the frequency
modulation using the J2 jumper. See fig. 7
Jumper J2
ON
Fast mode
Jumper J2
OFF
Slow mode
External power supply
The emitter will set the frequency modulation to continuous mode
when powered with a 12/24V AC/DC power supply, achieving more
range regardless of the J2 jumper (Fig. 7).
Safety edge control
It is possible to connect an 8K2 safety edge assembled on the mobile gate
leaf to the terminals 4 and 5. The emitter checks the edge continuously,
interrupting the infrared beam when pressed and activating the security
relay in the receiver. If we do not connect the safety edge, Jumper J3 must
be connected. See fig. 7.
Safety contact control
The emitter is equipped with a safety NC input in terminals 2 and 3 that
deactivates the transmission of the infrared beam when that contact is
opened, putting the transmitter in standby mode. If we do not connect this
input, Jumper J1 (TX) must be connected. See fig. 7.
OPERATION VERIFICATION
To verify that the light barrier is operating, interrupt the beam of light and
check that the red led and the relay activate in the receiver. Without
interrupting the beam and with both emitter and receiver aligned, the led
must be off. With the beam interrupted or with the emitter or receiver not
aligned, the red led must be on and the relay must activate.
MAINTENANCE
FC330 light barriers do not require any special care, but it is necessary to
check their condition from time to time, clean the external casing of dust
and dirt making sure it has a nice appearance and operates correctly,
contacting a technician if there is any anomaly.
If the light barrier is battery powered, a routine of battery maintenance,
checking and replacement every 2 years should be followed to guarantee
the system will keep working perfectly.
The Lithium battery (Lithium-thionyl chloride Li-SOCl2) that supplies power
to the transmitter is an industrial range (-55&ordm;C / +85&ordm;C) 3V6 AA of 2000 up
to 2700 mAh. It is recommended to replace it with a battery of the same
kind and quality.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE IT SHOULD BE
DISPOSEDWITH THE COMMON WASTE

Frequently asked questions

The maximum range of the FC330/B is 30m when the J1 jumper is set to OFF. However, external factors like dust and rain can reduce this range.

Yes, by setting the J2 jumper to “OFF” in the slow mode, you can significantly extend the battery life to up to 2 years, depending on usage conditions.

This feature allows connecting a safety edge sensor to the FC330/B. When the edge sensor is pressed, the system interrupts the beam and activates the safety relay in the receiver, ensuring safety in applications like automatic doors.
