4 SB Series AIR Beam Detectors Installation Manual
Introduction
The SB250-N / SB2100-N two-beam detectors and the SB450-N / SB4100-N /
SB4200-N four-beam detectors generate an alarm when 1 or 2 beams are
interrupted, ignoring birds, small animals, dead leaves etc.
They consist of two identical detector modules equipped with detector cells
integrating both transmission and reception functions. These modules are
installed facing each other over the distance to be protected providing a non-
physical invisible detection zone.
Detectors are based on a system of pulsed infrared beams, and operate on four
user-selectable frequencies (channels), which allow avoiding any risk of
interference between detectors.
The SB450-N and SB4100-N barriers have 2 operating modes suitable for
different types of installation (see “Operating modes” on page 14):
• “AND” mode: Simultaneous obstruction of two adjacent cells
• “OR” mode: Obstruction of one of the cells
Refer to “Installing modules in columns” on page 17 for detailed information on
infrared barriers functionality in columns.

General features
• Maximum outdoor range:
- SB250-N : 50 m
- SB2100-N : 100 m
- SB450-N : 50 m
- SB4100-N : 100 m
- SB4200-N : 200 m
The range of an infrared detector depends directly on visual range.
Maximum range of an infrared cell according to visibility:
- When visibility is 200 m, the range is 200 m.
- When visibility is 60 m (dense fog), the range is 100 m.
• Four user-selectable frequencies (channels) for distinguishing between
different detectors.
• SB250-N and SB2100-N detectors are equipped with one cell.
• SB450-N, SB4100-N and SB4200-N type detectors are equipped with two
cells dual-beam.
• 2 operating modes for SB450-N and SB4100-N: “AND” and “OR”.
• SB250-N, SB2100-N and SB4200-N have only 1 operating mode: “AND”.

Installation
General guidelines
See Figure 2 below.
To install the detectors correctly, certain rules must be followed.
• Do not place the detector on an unstable support (such as a mesh or a poorly
fixed post). See item 1.
• Do not position the module facing direct sunlight (item 2).
• Make sure that no vegetation interrupt the cells (item 3).
Figure 2: Potential causes of instability
Detector mounting
To attach the detectors to a metallic support, drill 4 holes measuring 3 mm and
use the sheet metal screws provided.
To fix the detectors to a wall, use appropriate screws and wall plugs for the type
of wall (we recommend at least Ø5 x 30 screws).
• Drill 4 holes and insert wall plugs.
• Position the holes in the adjustable support over the wall plugs.
Note: Rotate the module to be able to reach the screw holes in the adjustable
support (see Figure 3 on page 8).

Note: If a single cable is used to supply power to several elements, the distance given should be
divided by the number of elements connected to the cable. If several wires of the same cross-
sectional area and polarity are placed in parallel, the distances given should be multiplied by the
number of wires.
Alarm and disqualification relay
When infrared signal is significantly reduced (for example, fog, heavy rain, etc.)
then the disqualification relay will be triggered after 60 s and the Alarm LED will
blink.
In case of obstruction of the beams (for example, by an object or a person) for
more than 60 s, first alarm relay will be triggered, then disqualification relay will
be triggered and alarm relay will be reset (see Figure 6 on page 12 for details).

example, different modules in one pillar). If this option is not required, connect the alarm and
disqualification relays in series.
Connecting the tamper detection contact
Remove the PCB at the bottom of the module, connect the two wires and then
replace the PCB sliding it in the two grooves until it can go no further, and taking
care not to twist the contact strip.

SB Series AIR Beam Detectors Installation Manual 13
Configuration
Channel selection
To avoid different detectors on the same site interfering with each other, they are
equipped with 4 user-selectable frequencies (channels).
Each of 2 modules composing the detection area must be set with the same
number of channel. This configuration is done using DIP switches 1 and 2 on the
top of the terminal block. The channel is validated once the detector is powered
on. (Switching channels once the detector is powered up has no effect on the
channel selection).
Figure 7: Channel selection switches
Channel 1
(OFF OFF) Channel 2 (ON OFF) Channel 3 (OFF ON) Channel 4 (ON ON)
When the detectors are placed in the same alignment (see Figure 8 below),
allocate different channels to each detector, channel 1 (item 1) to channel 3
(item 3).
Figure 8: Multiple channels example
(1) (2) (3)
(1) Channel 1 (2) Channel 2 (3) Channel 3

14 SB Series AIR Beam Detectors Installation Manual
When the detectors are placed one on the top of the other (see Figure 9 below),
allocate the same channel to each detector and relay them to each other by the
synchronization link in Column mode.

Operating modes
The SB450-N and SB4100-N barriers can operate in 2 modes:
• “AND” mode: simultaneous obscuration of 2 dual-beam cells to trigger the
intrusion alarm.
• “OR” mode: obscuration of one of the dual-beam cells to trigger the intrusion
alarm.
The mode is selected with DIP switches 3 to 5. The DIP switch location is shown
in Figure 5 on page 9.
See Figure 10 on page 15 for modes illustration and DIP switch settings.
Caution: The DIP switches settings must be identical on both of 2 associated
modules. In OR mode, the response time must be also equal.

SB Series AIR Beam Detectors Installation Manual 15
Figure 10: Operation modes
“AND” mode:
“OR” mode:
Caution: Adjust the intrusion alarm response time by using the potentiometer as
described in “Response time” on page 26. It will adapt the detection sensitivity of
the barrier to the environment. A long response time decreases the sensitivity.
Note: Mode selection is only available in all 2 cell modules beams (SB450-N and
SB4100-N), except for the SB4200-N, which only supports the “AND” mode
Caution: The selected operating mode is activated during barrier power-up. Any
change of appropriate the DIP switch setting has no effect until the detector
power supply is reconnected.
Single module alignment and settings
Optical alignment
Figure 11: Optical alignment
This alignment consists in lining up the optical axes of the modules installed
facing each other.
This basic alignment adjustment is performed for each module using the
integrated sighting system.

Aligning the cells visually
Figure 12: Visual alignment
(1) Viewfinder
(2) Viewfinder image
(3) Oblique angle
(4) Vertical adjustment thumbscrew
To align the detector:
1. Slightly unscrew the module’s adjustable support.
2. Position your eye at an oblique angle about 5 cm from the module as shown
in Figure 12, item 3.
3. Look in the mirror inside the module to see the image (item 2) of the module
opposite through the viewfinder (item 1) in the side of the cell.
- Horizontal alignment: Rotate the adjustable support by up to 90°.
- Vertical alignment: Turn the thumbscrew (item 4) by up to 10°.
Once the optimal alignment has been achieved, tighten the screw of the
adjustable support to lock horizontal rotation.
Optimization of the detector alignment (without module synchronization)

1. Power cycle the unit (module)
- The buzzer beeps 1 time for SB250-N and SB450-N.
- The buzzer beeps 2 times for the SB2100-N and SB4100-N.
- The buzzer beeps 3 times for the SB4200-N.

SB Series AIR Beam Detectors Installation Manual 17
2. Hold down “Select” button (for at least 2 seconds) until the buzzer beeps
2 times.
The red LED blinks once and the buzzer sounds one long beep to indicate the
alignment of the bottom cell.
3. Rotate the cell until the buzzer sound becomes continuous and the alarm
LED lights up continuously.
- SB250-N, SB2100-N, SB450-N and SB4100-N: the alignment must be done
cell by cell.
- SB4200-N: the alignment most be done on both cells simultaneously.
See “Alignment status indication” below for status indication details.
4. For the SB450-N and SB4100-N modules, switch to the next cell by pressing
“Select” button. Blinks of the alarm LED and buzzer beeps are indicating the
number of the cell to be aligned.
Rotate the cell until the buzzer signal becomes continuous and the alarm LED
lights up continuously.
To exit from the alignment mode, hold down “Select” button for more than
2 seconds until the buzzer beeps 2 times.
Alignment status indication
Table 6: Alignment status indication
Red LED status Buzzer status Alignment status
Slow blink Slow beep Bad
Quick blink Quick beep Good [1]

Installing modules in columns
It is possible to combine up to 4 modules in one column. Table 7 below shows
the compatibility of detector models in one column.
Table 7: Detector models compatibility
SB250-N SB450-N SB2100-N SB4100-N SB4200-N
SB250-N Yes Yes No No No
SB450-N Yes Yes No No No
SB2100-N No No Yes Yes No
SB4100-N No No Yes Yes No
SB4200-N No No No No Yes
We do not recommend mixing detectors of different generations (for example,
SB250 and SB250-N) or brands in a same column.
Connections
Mount the modules as described in “Installation” on page 7.
Connect the modules between themselves via the inter-module connections A
and B (connect A to A and B to B).
Recommendation: wire the alarm relays on the module 2 (the second module
from the bottom of the column) because this module is recommended to be
selected as “Master”.

Setting “Slave” mode
Put all the modules in “Slave” mode: switch 3 on OFF and switch 4 on ON.
Figure 15: Slave mode
Caution: All the switch configurations of the modules of one column must be the
same as the modules opposite on the other column that constitutes the barrier.
Module numbering
Determine positions of the modules inside a column.
Note: The numbers designating the positions must follow from bottom to top. If
there are less than 4 modules inside a column, there should not be gaps or
overlaps in the numbering (see Table 8 below).
