TABLE 1
Warnings
•The installation, testing and set-up of automation devices for doors and gates must
be performed by qualied and experienced personnel who must also determine the
type of tests required based on the risks involved, and ensure that laws, standards
and regulations in force are complied with.
•MHOUSE disclaims responsibility for any damage resulting from improper use of the prod-
uct; the only use authorized by the manufacturer is the one described in this manual.
•The packaging materials must be disposed of in compliance with the regulations
locally in force.
•The post-mounted photocells must not be immersed in water or any other liquid sub-
stances. If liquid substances should penetrate inside the device, disconnect the pow-
er supply immediately and call MHOUSE customer service; using the device under
these conditions could be hazardous.
•Do not place the photocells near heat sources or expose them to open ames; this
could damage the device and cause malfunctions, re hazards or other dangers.
Description and Intended Use
This set of PT50 and PT100 post-mounted photocells is a motion sensor for automatic
gates (D-type according to EN 12453 standard) designed to detect obstacles located on
the optical axis between the transmitter (TX) and the receiver (RX). PT50 is equipped with
a sensitive element located approximately 450 mm from the ground; PT100 is equipped
with 2 sensitive elements, the rst one at a height of approximately 455 mm and the sec-
ond at approximately 915 mm from the ground. PT50 and PT100 may only be used in
combination with MHOUSE control units featuring ECSBus-type connections.
Installation
Warning: disconnect the power supply to the system before performing any installa-
tion operations; if the system is equipped with a PR1 buer battery, the latter must be
disconnected.
1. Choose the position of the two elements that make up the photocell (TX post and RX
post); observe the following directions:
•Place the posts on both sides of the area to be protected and as ush with the gate
as possible.
•Make sure that the ground surface is suciently compact, enabling the posts to be
secured using the screws and anchors provided; if necessary, you can use other
suitable anchoring systems.
•A conduit for the wires must be provided at the intended installation point in the
ground.
•Point the TX transmitter at the RX receiver, with a maximum misalignment of 5°.
2. Remove the upper cap [A] by prising it out with a slotted tip screwdriver (Fig.1).
3. Remove the glass front [B] by pulling and sliding it upwards (Fig.2).
4. Place the base of the post at the point reached by the cable conduit. Mark the
drilling points and drill the holes using a hammer drill tted with an 8 mm bit. Finally,
secure the post using the 3 screws [C] shown in Fig.3 and the corresponding
anchors supplied.
5. Connect the electric cable to the appropriate terminals on the TX and RX units
(Fig.4). From an electrical viewpoint, all the TX and RX elements must be connected
to each other in parallel (Fig.5) and to the “ECSBus” terminal on the control board. It
is not necessary to observe any polarity. To facilitate the above operations you can
remove the terminals, make the connections and then reinsert the terminals.
6. After testing the operation of the device, insert the glass front by sliding it in from the
top, then insert the top cap and press it down hard.
Addressing
To ensure the correct recognition of the photocells by the control unit, the photocells
must be addressed by means of suitable jumpers. Addressing not only ensures their
correct recognition in the ECSBus, but also serves to assign the detection function.
The addressing operation must be performed on both TX and RX (the jumpers must be
positioned alike), making sure that there are no other pairs of photocells having the
same address.
•If the post-mounted photocell is used to replace a pre-existing one, the jumpers must
be set exactly as they were in the old post.
•Any unused jumpers must be stored in their designated compartment for future use
(Fig.6).
•Since every automation system has its own individual characteristics, the photocells
can be positioned at various points to perform dierent detection functions. Check
Fig.7, Fig.8 and Fig.9 to identify the appropriate locations, and position the jumpers
as illustrated in table 1:
SLIDING GATES: see g. 7
SWING GATES: see g. 8
GARAGE DOORS: see g. 9
Note: only photocell “A” can be used on automations with MhouseKit GD1 - GD1N .
Note regarding photocell “G”: there are normally no restrictions concerning the posi-
tion of the two elements that make up the photocell (TX-RX). However, when photocell G
is used in conjunction with photocell B the elements must be positioned as shown in
Fig.7.
Original instructions
Device recognition
If the post-mounted photocell is used to replace a pre-existing one, no recognition proce-
dure needs to be carried out. However, if you add or remove devices connected to the
ECS Bus, the recognition procedure has to be carried out. In this case proceed as follows:
1. On the control unit, press and hold down button P2 [A] shown in Fig.10 for at least
three seconds, then release the button.
2. Wait a few seconds until the control unit has completed the device recognition
process.
3. When the recognition procedure has been completed, the P2 LED [B] shown in
Fig.10 will go o. If the LED ashes it means that something is wrong.
Checking the operation of the device
After completing the recognition procedure, check whether the SAFE LED [A] Fig.11
on the photocell (both TX and RX) starts ashing. See table 2 to identify the status of
the photocell based on the type of ashing.
Testing
Warning: after adding or replacing any post-mounted photocells, you need to test the
entire automation system anew following the instructions found in the relevant installa-
tion manuals under the “Testing and set-up” chapter.
•To check the post-mounted photocells and make sure that there is no interference
with other devices, pass a 5 cm diameter, 30 cm long cylinder (Fig.12) on the optical
axis, rst near TX, then near RX and nally at the mid-point between them and make
sure that in all these cases the device is triggered, switching from the active to the
alarm status and vice-versa; nally, that it causes the intended action in the control
unit, for example, that it causes the reversal of the direction during the closing
manoeuvre.
