SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Shut off all power going to the header before attempting any wiring procedures.
• Maintain a clean & safe environment when working in public areas.
• Constantly be aware of pedestrian traffic around the door area.
• Always stop pedestrian traffic through the doorway when performing testing that may result in unexpected reactions by the
door.
• Always check placement of all wiring and components before powering up to insure that moving door parts will not catch any
wires and cause damage to equipment.
MECHANICAL INSTALLATION – PREPARATION
To prepare the #585 for mounting to the header, perform the following:
a) Remove both end caps from the #585 (Picture 1). Each is attached by one Phillips head screw.
b) Remove both lenses from #585 by simply sliding them out at each end (Picture 2).
c) Remove the center eye shield (Picture 3) (take care not to damage the light tube on the inner side of the shield). Simply pull
out from the top end and rotate out as shown below.
d) Slide the PCB out of the extrusion and set it aside (Picture 4).
MECHANICAL INSTALLATION – PLACEMENT OF THE SENSOR
Remember these guidelines when installing a #585:
• The #585 should be mounted at a height range of 6'6" to 8'. Maximum mounting height is 9'.
• The #585 should be mounted above the door on the swing side.
• The #585 shall be mounted flush with the bottom of the frame. This is
absolutely necessary to allow the detection pattern to reach back through
the threshold area when the #585 is in the open door position.
• For SINGLE DOOR APPLICATIONS, the #585 should be mounted at the center
of the door opening. However, if this is not possible, the unit may be installed
off-center. In such cases, pattern location will have to be altered for proper
placement of the field of detection. Try to avoid mounting locations that may
pose potential problems such as directly over a door arm.
• For DOUBLE-EGRESS APPLICATIONS, one #585 should be mounted over each
swing-path. There should be at least 40" of separation between the 2 #585’s
when measured between the centerline of each sensor.
• CAUTION: FOR ALL APPLICATIONS, REFER TO THE PATTERN CHARTS FOR
WIDTH AND DEPTH IN THE APPLICABLE SECTION OF THIS GUIDE. PATTERNS
SHALL BE ADJUSTED TO ACHIEVE MAXIMUM DETECTION ZONES, AND SHALL
BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE SAFETY STANDARDS (I.E. ANSI
A156.10).
