Introduction
and warnings
INTRODUCTION
FOSTER POWER is a perimeter IR barrier with crossed
beams for protection of external areas, with a pleasant
design and compact dimensions.
Pre-cabled and ready for installation FOSTER POWER is
composed of a transmitting and a receiving unit.
The transmitter emits a coded sequence of infrared
beams which are detected by all the receivers.
Available in different versions and heights, it can be
installed on a pole or wall and used in combination with
TOWER and GARDEN IR columns.
FOSTER POWER, standard equipped with automatic
temperature control device, disqualification
system and sturdy aluminium structure, is synonymous
with security and reliability.
WARNINGS
•Use shielded cables.
•Observe the minimum distances between the TX and RX
columns (see table on page 16).
•In areas subject to intense fog, for distances longer
than 80 m, it is advisable to break the barrier path
with an extra column.
•Power the device using the 220 V stabilised voltage
only.
•It is mandatory to switch on the temperature
control system for both internal and external
installations (24Vac).
•The installation should be performed by qualified
personnel.
MITECH is not responsible for damages
and / or barrier malfunctions
caused by incorrect installation
and / or improper use.

After installing the barrier, make sure that it is perfectly closed with the watertight
covers supplied.
Use the cable glands supplied to insert the cable in the lower section.
Make sure that the path between the sensors is free and that there are no obstacles
that could affect the communication between the optical groups of the transmitters
and receivers (e.g. branches, plants, leaves, etc. that could interfere with the beams).
Verify that the optics of the transmitter and receiver units are not
exposed to direct sunlight at dawn and sunset.
It is usually advisable to reverse the transmitters and receivers when installing the barriers
overlapped as this could cause the transmitters to interfere with several receivers
(see page 6).
Do not use switching power supplies that might cause electrical disturbances .
