THESE ARE IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS. FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS SINCE INCORRECT
INSTALLATION CAN LEAD TO SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH
An electrician must disconnect electric power to the commercial
door opener and control before making repairs or removing
covers
Installaon and wiring must be in compliance with your local
building and electrical codes. Connect the power supply cord
only to properly earthed mains.
Moisture and water can destroy the electronic components.
Make sure under all circumstances that water moisture or storage
moisture cannot penetrate the electronics. The same applies for
openings and cable entries.
Acvate opener only when the door is in full view, free of ob-
strucons and opener is properly adjusted. No one should enter
or leave the building while the door is in moon.
Aer the installaon a nal test of the full funcon of the sys-
tem and the full funcon of the safety devices must be done.
Make sure that people who install, maintain or operate the door
follow these instrucons. Keep these instrucons in a safe place
so that you can refer to them quickly when you need to.
The GLCPS has been designed and tested to oer safe service provided it is installed, operated, maintained and tested in strict
accordance with the instrucons and warnings contained in this manual

Congratulaons on your purchase of the Grifco® Light Curtain Protector System (GLCPS). The GLCPS provides industry leading
safety to your industrial door applicaon. With an acvely monitored mesh of infrared beams through the height of the sys-
tem, the GLCPS provides complete personal and property protecon against entrapment in the closing direcon
INTRODUCTION
IDENTIFYING YOUR LIGHT CURTAIN SYSTEM
Suitable for any compable (refer to Planning Secon) new
or retrot installaon.
The GLCPS is supplied completed with a robust aluminium
housing to allow bracket mounng in a stando posion
adjacent to the door plane.
Suitable for any compable (refer to Planning Secon) new
installaon where the sensors can be mounted in a secure,
protected zone. The GLCPS-B is typically only used by door
manufacturers, where the door guide is designed to house
the light curtain rail.
Compability
The GLCPS (-B) is only compable with eDrive +2.0 or GLMe2 models featuring soware version 2.0 or higher as shown below.
- Call 1800 GRIFCO or your local dealer if you require an upgrade MCB for either eDrive +2.0 or GLMe2 -

PLANNING
The GLCPS is provided with plug in cabling to allow for a door size of approximately 20m2. On larger doors, you may need to allow
for a plug in extension cable accessory (P/N: GLC-3E).
To ensure the GLCPS cabling will suit your door size, refer to the chart below
Call 1800 GRIFCO or your dealer to obtain any GLC-3E extension cables

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Do not install or leave other

plane. These other device
may conict and cause un-
acceptable results.

Mounng
Where possible, it is always preferred to mount the RX side of the light curtain away from direct sunlight.
Avoid incorrect orientaon, as shown below:
The GLCPS-B is oered to allow door manufacturers to closely couple the light curtain rail to the door guide to provide a dis-
crete and eecve mounng locaon.
To mount the GLCPS-B, use countersunk headed fasteners to secure in 3 places per side along the length of the light curtain
rail. The image below shows how the system can be mounted through either direcon. The boom edge must be set 50mm
from the oor level.
Fasteners should be either M4 or 6 gauge self tapping screws.
Noce! Mechanical damage risk to the GLCPS
- Do not drill addional holes into the light curtain
- Do not over ghten the mounng screws
- Mount the edges on a at surface
INSTALLATION
The opcal axis of the emier (TX) and the receiver edge (RX)
need to be aligned towards each other to ensure the light curtain
funcons reliably
Reecve surfaces near to or parallel to the safeguarded area
can cause reecons and interfere with the GLCPS funcons.
Keep a reasonable distance between the sensor edges and any
reecve surface
7
Mounng
To mount the GLCPS, ulise the six provided mounng brackets to secure as shown below. Follow the steps as suggested.
Install steps:
Use each rail to mark the approximate mounng
height for each bracket on both sides of the
door opening.
Mount all the brackets in accordance with the
marked locaons. The brackets can x in any
locaon vercally along the rail (spacing gener-
ally as pictured below right), so the importance
of posioning should be placed on vercal align-
ment of the brackets. If needed, use a spirit level
to ensure true vercal.
With all brackets fastened to the wall, take the
M5 hexagon head fasteners and slide 3 into
each rail at the cable end (Fig 1).
Whilst holding the rail in the vicinity of the brack-
ets, with nyloc nuts in hand, posion the M5 fas-
tener through each bracket (working from the
top down) and secure the nyloc nuts nger ght
(ref Fig 1.).
Posion the rail vercally as it relates to the
door plane, and ghten the nyloc nuts. Ensuring
the rail locaon does not breach the dimensions
shown (Fig 2).
INSTALLATION
Mount brackets to

The light curtain rails are to be secured
with three equally spaced mounng
brackets (per side) as shown.

Note: Posioning the GLCPS rails too close to the door
plane may result in nuisance reversals if the door cur-
tain is able to ex inward (e.g. wind load condion).
Check for this at the conclusion of the installaon by
lightly pushing on the door curtain from the outside
during closing travel. If a reversal occurs, consider
moving the rails further away from the door plane.

Connecon
The GLCPS is connected to the eDrive +2.0 or the GLMe2 board as shown below. Ensure power is isolated before proceeding.
WARNING
An electrician must disconnect electric power to the commercial door opener
and control before removing or opening covers
Connecon Cable plugs into Interface Module as shown
To complete connecon, plug the extension/synchronisaon cable to each light curtain rail (ref pg-5 Applicaon Overview)
The GLCPS Interface Module connects within
the enclosure containing the eDrive +2.0 or
GLMe2 Main Control Board as shown.
The Connecon Cable can be fed from the
inside of the enclosure and out via a suitable
conduit or cable duct via the plug end.
Note: Cable duct (as shown below) is recom-
mended for ease of installaon.

With the installaon complete, the system must be tested to ensure an obstrucon will be detected when moving through the
protecon zone. Refer below.

The GLCPS will operate as a safety reversal sensor when correctly installed. Obstrucng the plane of the light curtain will cause
the door operator to stop and open, or simply prevent closing if the door is already open.
Refer to your eDrive +2.0 or GLMe2 manual for further conguraon and set up informaon.
When correctly connected and installed, apply power to the control system.
Both sides should show a Green LED if there is no obstrucon.
Note: on the housed GLCPS, you will see the LED through the IR lter strip. If suitable, cup your hand around the top end of
the rail and look down through the assembly to see the Green LED
If necessary (for troubleshoong) the IR lter can be removed by sliding out of the extrusion.
OPERATION
TESTING
10
Although the GLCPS does not need regular maintenance, a periodic funconal check is strongly recommended. Make sure the
opcal elements are clear of dirt and dust. If necessary, clean the front surface with a so towel. Make sure the edges are se-
curely fastened. Check the mounng posion, cable roung and connecon of the sensor.
If disposal is required, it should be done using the most up to date recycling technology according to local regulaons and laws.
There are no harmful materials used in the design and manufacture of the sensor. Traces of such dangerous materials may be
found in the electronic components but not in quanes that are harmful
