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
Installaon 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.
Acvate opener only when the door is in full view, free of ob-
strucons and opener is properly adjusted. No one should enter
or leave the building while the door is in moon.
Aer the installaon a nal test of the full funcon of the sys-
tem and the full funcon of the safety devices must be done.
Make sure that people who install, maintain or operate the door
follow these instrucons. Keep these instrucons in a safe place
so that you can refer to them quickly when you need to.
The GLCPS has been designed and tested to oer safe service provided it is installed, operated, maintained and tested in strict
accordance with the instrucons and warnings contained in this manual

Congratulaons on your purchase of the Grifco® Light Curtain Protector System (GLCPS). The GLCPS provides industry leading
safety to your industrial door applicaon. With an acvely monitored mesh of infrared beams through the height of the sys-
tem, the GLCPS provides complete personal and property protecon against entrapment in the closing direcon
INTRODUCTION
IDENTIFYING YOUR LIGHT CURTAIN SYSTEM
Suitable for any compable (refer to Planning Secon) new
or retrot installaon.
The GLCPS is supplied completed with a robust aluminium
housing to allow bracket mounng in a stando posion
adjacent to the door plane.
Suitable for any compable (refer to Planning Secon) new
installaon 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.
Compability
The GLCPS (-B) is only compable with eDrive +2.0 or GLMe2 models featuring soware 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
IR devices in the vicinity of
the light curtain detecon
plane. These other device
may conict and cause un-
acceptable results.

Mounng
Where possible, it is always preferred to mount the RX side of the light curtain away from direct sunlight.
Avoid incorrect orientaon, as shown below:
The GLCPS-B is oered to allow door manufacturers to closely couple the light curtain rail to the door guide to provide a dis-
crete and eecve mounng locaon.
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 direcon. The boom edge must be set 50mm
from the oor level.
Fasteners should be either M4 or 6 gauge self tapping screws.
Noce! Mechanical damage risk to the GLCPS
- Do not drill addional holes into the light curtain
- Do not over ghten the mounng screws
- Mount the edges on a at surface
INSTALLATION
The opcal axis of the emier (TX) and the receiver edge (RX)
need to be aligned towards each other to ensure the light curtain
funcons reliably
Reecve surfaces near to or parallel to the safeguarded area
can cause reecons and interfere with the GLCPS funcons.
Keep a reasonable distance between the sensor edges and any
reecve surface

7
Mounng
To mount the GLCPS, ulise the six provided mounng brackets to secure as shown below. Follow the steps as suggested.
Install steps:
 Use each rail to mark the approximate mounng
height for each bracket on both sides of the
door opening.
 Mount all the brackets in accordance with the
marked locaons. The brackets can x in any
locaon vercally along the rail (spacing gener-
ally as pictured below right), so the importance
of posioning should be placed on vercal align-
ment of the brackets. If needed, use a spirit level
to ensure true vercal.
 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, posion the M5 fas-
tener through each bracket (working from the
top down) and secure the nyloc nuts nger ght
(ref Fig 1.).
 Posion the rail vercally as it relates to the
door plane, and ghten the nyloc nuts. Ensuring
the rail locaon does not breach the dimensions
shown (Fig 2).

Note: Posioning 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 condion).
Check for this at the conclusion of the installaon 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.

Connecon
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
Connecon Cable plugs into Interface Module as shown
To complete connecon, plug the extension/synchronisaon cable to each light curtain rail (ref pg-5 Applicaon Overview)
The GLCPS Interface Module connects within
the enclosure containing the eDrive +2.0 or
GLMe2 Main Control Board as shown.
The Connecon 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 installaon.

With the installaon complete, the system must be tested to ensure an obstrucon will be detected when moving through the
protecon zone. Refer below.

The GLCPS will operate as a safety reversal sensor when correctly installed. Obstrucng 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 conguraon and set up informaon.
When correctly connected and installed, apply power to the control system.
Both sides should show a Green LED if there is no obstrucon.
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 troubleshoong) 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 funconal check is strongly recommended. Make sure the
opcal 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 mounng posion, cable roung and connecon of the sensor.
If disposal is required, it should be done using the most up to date recycling technology according to local regulaons 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 quanes that are harmful
