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.
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

SELF INSTALL - NEED TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE?
OPTION 1: DIRECT WITH THE SERVICE DESK – QUICKEST AND MOST EFFECTIVE METHOD
Submit your enquiry direct with the service desk at – [e-mail]
The service desk has the most experienced staff in Australia to help with your problem but they need your help.
Describe your problem in detail and as clearly as possible. Don’t forget to include a telephone number.
Be certain to detail which model or models of you are working with.
Send photos of the installation – they love photos. The people at the service desk are good but they are
even better when they can see the installation. Send photos of the overall scene so they can see the
entire installation. Also send photos of the wiring to the control board and any other part of the
installation you think is relevant.
Send video if appropriate. Smartphone’s these days take remarkably good video in small file sizes which
can be emailed in a moment. If your problem needs a video to show the issue please feel free to send it.
NOTE: THIS IS BY FAR THE FASTEST AND MOST SUCCESFUL WAY TO SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM
PHOTOS AND VIDEOS ARE THE NEXT BEST THING TO BEING THERE
OPTION 2: LODGE YOUR ENQUIRY LOCALLY - SLOWER BUT CAN STILL BE EFFECTIVE
Make contact with the store of purchase. Branch staffs are typically not technicians and dependent on their length
of service will have varying degrees of technical knowledge. If they cannot help however they will certainly either
source help locally from their technicians or make contact with the service technicians on your behalf.
OPTION 3: SERVICE CALL WITH AUTOMATIC SOLUTIONS TECHNICIAN – SLOWEST METHOD
If you fall within the local branch service area it may be possible to book a local technician to look at your
installation. Wait times will vary dependent on local workloads. The cost is a service fee which includes the first
half hour and the hourly rate thereafter. If any Automatic Solutions provided parts are found to be defective and
within warranty these will be provided free of charge.
(NOTE: If you suspect that any parts are defective and within warranty you may wish to consider option 4)
A note on this option: If you decide on this option you will be asked to sign an “authorisation to proceed” which
will provide legal authority and payment security. This form has three options available of which only the first two
are available to you. The third option is for warranty repairs only for full install customers. Self install customers
requiring warranty only service need to refer to option four below.
IMPORTANT: IN SHORT THIS OPTION WILL INCUR CHARGES
OPTION 4: RETURN THE PRODUCT IF BELIEVED TO BE FAULTY
As a self install customer who has purchased product if you believe the product to be faulty rather than an
installation or site problem you have the option of returning the product for evaluation and to exercise your right
to a replacement, repair or refund as applicable. All returned product is forwarded immediately to the service
technicians for evaluation and response. There are two main methods available to return product –
Direct to the service centre – this is the quickest method as it cuts out the branch delay
Via the branch of purchase – slower because of the delay at the branch
When choosing this option you need to complete a product return form. This form gives you all the information
on procedure involved and where to send to. These are available at the branch of purchase, can be emailed to
you (contact your branch), or available here - http://automaticsolutions.com.au/page/warranty.php
