Introduction
and warnings
INTRODUCTION
GARDEN and TOWER IR are the perimeter columns
with crossed beams and double lens.
The GARDEN version is camouflaged as a lamp post
that combines aesthetics with functionality
to a reliable security device. Both pre-cabled and
ready for installation they are composed of a
transmitting and a receiving unit. The transmitter
emits a coded sequence of infrared beams which
are detected by all the receivers. The columns are
supplied with optical synchronization because each
beam is recognized by means of differentiated
optical codes (optical synchronization).
GARDEN and TOWER IR are more suitable for
harsher environments and weather situations
(low temperatures, fog, humidity, wind gusts)
thanks to the built-in automatic temperature
control device, the disqualification system and
sturdy aluminum structure.
WARNINGS
•Use shielded cables.
•Observe the minimum distances between the
TX and RX columns (see table on page 20).
•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 13.8 Vdc
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 column, make sure that it is perfectly closed with the watertight
covers supplied.
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 (i.e. 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.
Do not use switching power supplies that might cause electrical disturbances .

are all off (Image 1)
If one or more leds are not off, gently adjust the
relevant lenses in a horizontal and vertical
direction towards the transmitters until all the

If one or more leds are not turned off, go directly
to the instrumental alignment procedure

4. Manually adjust the optics of the first
lower TX expansion board, towards
the centre of the RX receiving
unit (see image), in order to
display the maximum voltage value
of around 4 Volt on the tester (over 4
Volt the voltage values are to be
considered optimal).
It is important in this phase to
ensure all the red leds on the RX
expansion boards are switched off.
In the event of some or all of the
leds being on, adjust the RX optics
vertically and horizontally and
orient again the TX optics until the
leds switch off.
5. Set the TEST Jumper to the OFF
mode of the first TX expansion
board at the bottom and repeat from
step 3 the alignment of all the
remaining TX expansion boards.

6.
Ensure all the TEST jumpers of the TX motherboard and of the TX expansion boards are
set to OFF.
FINAL TEST:
Double lens version: verify that the barrier triggers an alarm signal when both lenses of
each optical group are covered (OR setting).
Single lens version: verify that the barrier triggers an alarm signal when each lens is
covered (OR setting).
7. Once the FINAL TEST is finished,
for setting the barrier in AND mode,
it is necessary to set the AND programming
jumper to ON, on the RX motherboard.
IMPORTANT: during the alignment phase,
remember that the AND jumper must always
be set to OFF.

Description
of signalling leds
The RX board has 6 leds for control purposes which can be enabled or disabled by setting the
jumper to ON.
Led S.LOW: Low signal (DISQUALIFICATION)
It switches ON to indicate the presence of intense fog and the activation of the disqualification
function. In this mode the barrier is deactivated and then automatically restored as soon as the
signal is regained.
It is possible to manage this signal directly in the control panel (O.C. output).
For the correct functioning of the disqualification device it is mandatory to have accomplished a
proper alignment.
Led MASK: Blinding signal and mains anomaly
It switches ON and blinks to signal the presence of an electromagnetic interference or a wiring
problem that may affect the correct functioning of the barrier.
Led DETECT: Irregular transmission signal
This led is generally OFF in ordinary operating conditions. The led blinks if one or more
transmitter signals are not detected by the receivers.
It lights permanently if all the transmitters signals are not detected by the receivers.
Verify alignment and possible blinding problems.
Led ALM: Alarm acknowledgement
It switches ON to signal the occurrence of an alarm.
The tripping delay set on trimmer SPEED ranges from 50 ms to 500 ms (turn the trimmer
clockwise to increase the delay).
Led HTR: Heating
The barriers have an automatic heating system with electronic control that
guarantees a minimum internal temperature of 17°C in all environmental conditions.
If the led is ON, the heating system is working correctly.
POWER: Power supply
The POWER led is the only one that is permanently ON in ordinary operating conditions.
