MODEL 4094 : SAFETY PHOTOCELLS WITH WIRELESS INFRARED TRANSMITTER
MODEL 4094-PW : SAFETY PHOTOCELLS WITH PRE-WIRED RECEIVER WIRELESS TRANSMITTER
PHOTOCELLS MOUNTED ON THE MODEL 9044-PW :
ASSEMBLED WALL BRACKETS PRE-WIRED RECEIVER
Both packages include the following items:
 A battery powered Emitter/ ransmitter Photocell fitted with 2 Energiser
Ultimate Lithium AA Batteries, providing a 10 year battery life.
 A Receiver Photocell. (Note that the Receiver of the PW version is pre-wired
with 2 metres/6.5 Feet of 4-core cable to save installation time wiring to the
door Control unit.
 2 Main bracket sections.
 2 Extension bracket sections.
 4 M5 x 12mm Pan Head Screws for joining the two bracket sections together.
 4 M5 Flange Nuts for above.
 4 EK screws for fixing that assembled brackets to a wall at the side of the
door.
 6 M3 X 16mm Pan Head screws for fixing the photocells to the main bracket
sections
 6 M3 Flange Nuts for above.

TO REMOVE THE TOP COVER
Note that a small black self-tapping screw is fitted under the small
facia cover of each photocell to secure the top moulding to the base.
Use a small flat blade screwdriver
to lever up the bottom of the
small black plastic screw cover.
hen use a small Pozi-Drive screwdriver to remove the screw
Assemble the wall bracket sections using the M5 screws and Flange nuts.
he reach of the main bracket may be adjusted dependant on which two sets of holes are
used to bolt the two parts together, as shown in the picture above left.
It is important to position the photocells with the infrared window uppermost and the body
protected from side impacts by the bracket side plate.
he Receiver photocell bracket should be fixed to the wall on the same side of the door on
which the door Control unit is mounted, to limit the wiring from the photocell to the
controller.
It is preferable to use a PVC insulated able with an outer diameter no greater than 5mm.
WIRING – PULSED SIGNAL SAFETY
If the Safety circuit of the door controller requires a two wire pulsed signal, then use a 2-
core cable and connect it from the two supply terminals on the Receiver to the SAFE Y
terminals on the door controller, as described in the door controller manual.
he polarity of the cable is not polarity sensitive. It is essential that the door control safety
circuit voltage has a source resistance of 470 ohms with a 24V supply or 120 ohms with a
12V supply.
Set the PULSE MODE switch on the Receiver to PULSE.
If you are fitting the pre-wired photocell Receiver model 9044-PW, then the GREEN and
YELLOW wires are not required in PULSE mode.

WIRING – RELAY CONTROLLED SAFETY
If the Safety circuit on the door controller requires a Normally Closed relay contact then
connect the other two cores of the 4-core cable to the two relay terminals on the Receiver.
If you are installing a PRE-WIRED photocell then the cable colours are as
follows:
RED and BLACK: 12V or 24V A/C or DC supply.
GREEN and YELLOW: Relay connections.
RELAY SELECT SWITCH
MODE SWITCH
Set the MODE switch to RELAY.
If you require a Normally Closed relay circuit then set the RELAY select switch
to N/C (Normally Closed)
If you require a Normally Open relay circuit then set the RELAY switch to N/O
(Normally Open).
INITIAL TESTING
When power is applied or the door Controller power is switched on to the Receiver the
RED LED will illuminate.
Next set the power switch on the Infrared ransmitter to BATTERY. (Note that in the event
that the batteries become discharged at some time in the future, an alternative 12v or 24v
A/C or DC supply may be connected to the 12v – 24v terminals of the Emitter/ ransmitter. In
which case the supply switch should be set to 12 -24V) he alternative supply may be
12V -24V A/C or DC.
A beep will sound on the Emitter to confirm that the batteries are connected
correctly in the battery holders and there is sufficient power to enable the
emitter to function correctly.
Next position the emitter facing the receiver sensor and note that the RED LED on the
Receiver turns off, which is an indication that the infrared emitter beam is aligned with the
Receiver sensor.

WALL MOUNTING
Select a suitable flat position on the wall either side of the door to mount the wall brackets,
ideally 150mm (6”) off the ground and away from the door opening as far as possible to
avoid any sunlight from shining directly into the Receiver.
he brackets are mounted on the wall using the EK screws provided.
First drill two 3mm (1/8”) pilot holes 25mm (1”) apart in a horizontal plane.
BEAM ALIGNMENT
Lightly secure each bracket with a EK screw using the central single hole at the end of
the Bracket, to allow thee bracket to be rotated slightly during the beam alignment
process.
Note that alignment of the infrared beam in the horizontal plane is facilitated by rotation
of the brackets and alignment of the beam in the vertical plane id facilitate by rotation of
the infrared sensing heads in the plastic gimbals which are part of each of the base
mouldings.
Note that when the beam is correctly aligned the RED LED on the Receiver will be off.
When you are satisfied with the alignment then screw in the second EK screws in each of
the brackets and ensure that all 4 EK screws are firmly tight.
Reconfirm the alignment should the final fixing of the EK screws may have affected the
alignment.
Check the correct response of the Photocells by obstructing the infrared beam with your
hand and confirm that the RED LED turns off.
Check the correct response of the door if the beam is obstructed whilst the door is closing
FITTING THE PHOTOCELL TOP MOULDINGS.
Note that the top mouldings are refitted by hooking the tongue of the top
moulding into the slot of the base moulding and press the bottom of the top
moulding firmly in place. hen refit the black self-tapping screw to secure the
top to the base. Finally push the plastic screw cover in position to provide a
means of hiding the assembly screw from unauthorised people.
Recheck the correct functioning of the photocell installation.
