1. Mount NIR-50-325 at desired location within 6
feet of control box (do not mount reector yet).
2. Wire the photoeye cable to the 1050 control
board as shown at right.
3. Adjust sensivity on top of unit to maximum.

4. Apply power to the gate operator.
5. Program the 1050 control board as follows (FIGURE 1-1):
a) Press the Functions button.
b) Press Down button eight times until “9. Adv. Settings” menu is displayed and press OK button.
c) Press Down button nine times until “UL Input” menu is displayed and press OK button.
d) Press Up/Down buttons to select “Analog” and press OK button.
e) Use Up/Down to select “Open” (open direction) or “Close” (close direction) and press OK.
f) Press Learn button, then select slide or swing, then select light, medium, or heavy. Board will scan for
sensor and then open and close gate during learn cycle. If board displays F1 error, refer to troubleshooting
table. Board will not operate without at least one active entrapment sensor connected.
WARNING
Remove power from operator during wiring and
ensure gate will not move during procedure!
NOTICE
Pin 20 on the 1050 Controller
(FIGURE 1-1) is used to power
the sensor for either solar or DC
power applications.

Yellow LED Energized, aligned, and stable Unit o󰀨 or unstable
Red LED Energized and alignment correct Beam obstructed or reector not aligned
6. Hold reector 3 feet in front of photoeye lens and verify both red and yellow LEDs on photoeye light up.
While moving backward to the reector mounting location, ensure the reector is continually aligned (red and
yellow LEDs on). Move reector up, down, left or right to keep reector in center of the signal path.
7. Verify the NIR-50-325 and reector are in line of sight, conrm the red LED and yellow LED are ON (indicating
correct alignment), then mount reector in ideal position.
8. Block the beam with your hand, or another object, and ensure the sensor’s yellow and red LEDs turn o󰀨.
Check the operator control board input LED (FIGURE 1-1) and verify that the UL/Edge input is properly
actuated. When the beam is not blocked, the red input LED will be dimly lit and when blocked, it will be
brighter.
9. Unblock the beam and the photoeye yellow and red LEDs should light at full brightness.

CAUTION
Passing vehicles may act as a reector and cause a false reading allowing a
gate to close on a vehicle. Nice/HySecurity assumes no responsibility in these
cases, and all risk falls to the installer, designer, and users of the gate system.
