IRIS \ IRIS-I
QUICK SET-UP GUIDE
Confirm contents of package: 1 sensor, 1 cable, 1 wide lens (default), 1 narrow lens, mounting template, User’s Guide.
Install the sensor at the desired location. Use the enclosed mounting template for drilling locations.
Wire the sensor per the application. Generally, the output wires (brown and blue) will connect to safety at the door
control. The relay output from the IRIS is a dry contact. Note: The IRIS cable is the same as a Wizard II cable. Wire
color and connection points are identified below.
Red Power: 12 to 24 VAC / DC (+)
Black Power: 12 to 24 VAC / DC (-)
White Relay 1: Auxiliary Output
Green Relay 1: Auxiliary Output
Brown Relay 2: COM (to COM input at door control)
Blue Relay 2: NO (to SAFETY input at door control).
Apply the specified power and observe the red LED on the IRIS.
Red LED should come on, and remain on throughout the setup. Door should remain open during setup. When
complete, red LED goes out, and door should close. This takes about 6 seconds if uninterrupted.
IMPORTANT NOTE: During sensor setup, the sensor may or may not cause a door opening cycle. This is because
the output from the sensor may be tied to the safety circuit of the door controller, which is typically disabled at the
closed door position. For a quick setup, this is Ok. For an assisted setup, the installer must launch the setup, then
active the door to the open position immediately thereafter. A normal setup routine will then follow.
The most common defaults have been applied to the sensor. Below, are the most critical for proper door operation,
and are the first ones to check if unexpected behavior occurs:
Relay Configuration: By default it is set to Active (value 4) – the IRIS relay contact closes upon detection. If
passive is required, change the output configuration value to 1. The most obvious indication to this condition is
that the door works in reverse order – no detection results in hold open.
Pulse Frequency: If an interference is suspected from other nearby sensors or IR equipment, change the
frequency of the IRIS. Default is value 1, change to value 3. Values 2 and 4 are not used.
Additionally, the angle of the infrared curtain will need to be adjusted. If the curtain is too close to the door, the door
will appear to recycle on its own. A curtain that is too far from the door will be in violation of applicable standards –
for most applications.
Adjust the curtain so that detection occurs within 3” from the face of the door. Turn the adjustment screw in
clockwise to draw the curtain in closer to the door.
Always walk-test the sensor pattern when completed. The performance of the sensor should comply with all
standards relative to the application.
As a minimum, the sensor pattern width should be equal to or greater than the width of the clear door opening.
To test the performance of the sensor, stand motionless in the detection area for 30 seconds. Door should stay
open with no attempt to close.
Document all work. For future reference, be sure to record the IRIS serial number on your work order.
Educate the Owner / Manager as to the proper operation of the sensor, and door system, and what to do to ensure
safe use of the door in the event of discovering a malfunction. Show them how to perform a daily safety check of the
sensor.
NOTE: Be sure to reference the complete User’s Guide if additional information is required.

Important Note: Upon detection at the sensor, both relays will be simultaneous triggered. Relay 1 is assigned to the white and green output
wires. Relay 2 is assigned to the brown and blue output wires. Both are dry contacts. BEA wiring diagrams show Relay 2 (brown and blue) as
the designated output for presence detection. For the IRIS sensor, Relay 1 may be used as an auxiliary relay for triggering of other devices. Be
certain to note the relay ‘output specifications’ on page 2.
An Active relay is one that closes the contacts upon detection, a Passive relay will open the contacts upon detection.

4 Important Programming Notes
Door Control Mode
The Door Control Mode is used to simulate a permanent detection, or non-detection,
and is a useful setting while performing service to the door.
Installation Configuration
The Installation Configuration key is used for changing the pulse frequency of the
sensor for the purpose of reducing chances of cross-talk between sensors. To
prevent crosstalk when installing overlapping units set one unit to 5 and the other to
7 for Low Mount or one unit to 6 and the other to 8 for High Mount.
Sensor Output
When launching a sensor setup, the sensor may or may not cause a door opening
cycle. This is because the output from the sensor may be tied to the safety circuit of
the door controller, which is typically disabled at the closed door position. For a quick
setup, this is OK. For an assisted setup, the installer must launch the setup, then
active the door to the open position immediately thereafter. A normal setup routine
will then follow.
Lock Key
Always be sure to press the LOCK key twice, following any programming of the
sensor. If the LOCK key is not pressed twice, the changes will not be permanently
stored in the memory.
Rain Mode
Rain Mode: When the infrared immunity level is set to Rain Mode, a specific trigger is
required to enter into the mode: If the sensor completes 2 learn cycles within 6
detections, it will enter into Rain Mode. During this mode, the sensor will change the
2nd infrared curtain (the one farthest from the door) to IR motion (as opposed to IR
presence). This will last for 1 hour, or until power is reset, or until a new setup is
launched, whichever occurs first.
Snow Mode
Snow Mode: When the infrared immunity level is set to Snow Mode, a specific trigger
is required to enter into the mode: If the sensor completes 2 learn cycles within 6
detections, it will enter into Snow Mode. During this mode, the sensor will change the
2nd infrared curtain (the one farthest from the door) to IR motion (as opposed to IR
presence). Additionally, the automatic learn time will change from whatever it was set
to, to 10 seconds. This will last for 1 hour, or until power is reset, or until a new setup
is launched, whichever occurs first. If Snow Mode is selected, additional beams or
sensors may be required to maintain compliance with applicable safety standards.
5 Manual Setup Of The Sensor
Manual Setup Procedures
1. Set-up of the IRIS may be accomplished by the use of two IRIS mounted programming buttons. The
procedures below indicate how to program using these buttons.
2. The two setup buttons are located at the right side of the IRIS (as viewed when mounted to header). To
begin, briefly press the right button and move away from the sensing patterns.
TO RESET THE UNIT TO FACTORY DEFAULTS:
Press and hold both buttons simultaneously until both red and green LED lights flash alternately
TO CUSTOMIZE SETTINGS FROM FACTORY DEFAULTS
To enter the customizing mode: Press the right button until the LED light flashes and then release
To return to standard mode: Press the right button again until the LED light stops flashing and then release
CUSTOMIZING MODE
The red LED light indicates the number for the function being altered ( 1 flash = function #1)
The green LED light indicates the value for the function being altered ( 1 flash means value = 1)
The right button enables selection of the function number being altered (+1 for each press)
The left button enables alteration (change in value) of the function (+1 for each press)
See the chart below for the function assignments:
An Orange LED will be displayed for those functions not utilized.

3. Use the chart below as an aide for the manual programming procedure.
5 Manual Setup Of The Sensor – continued
REQUIRED: If the IR frequency has been manually changed, to prevent the sensors from being in permanent
detection, momentarily depress the right program button to launch an assisted setup.
High mounting height
(>10’) If the sensor is installed higher than 10’ above the floor, make sure to use the narrow prism
(See Ch. 3).
Rain/Snow If the sensor is exposed to rain or snow, use the URC (Universal Rain protection Cover)
Set the sensor to immunity level 2 or 3 to increase the immunity of the sensor.
Setup
Assisted Setup (~14sec) Sensor checks the influence of the door leaves to the IR
curtains (performs a door open/door close cycle)
Standard Setup (~4sec) Sensor only learns its environment
After adjusting the sensor for the first time, it is required to launch an ‘Assisted Setup’ (See Ch. 4).
If the IR sensor module ‘sees’ the door movement, move the curtains out of the door leaf.
Access Code The access code is recommended to set sensors close to each other with remote control. The access code can
be composed of 1 to 4 digits (factory values or no access code : 0 or 0000). No code is required to unlock during
the first minute after powering. To enter a lock code, simply press the Lock key, followed by a lock code. If lock code is
less than 4 digits, the lock key must be pressed a second time following the last digit of the code (See Pg. 5).
Overlapping
IR-curtains Overlapping IR-curtains from sensors installed side-by-side may cause disturbances due to crosstalk
(interferences). Select different frequencies on each sensor to avoid crosstalk (See Setting ‘Installation
Configuration’ on Pg.6).
Attention: avoid curtains that are overlapping by more than 12” (at 7’ mounting height, using the wide prism).
