CHOOSE BEFORE YOU START When set to operate wirelessly, the transmitter and receiver communicate with the door operator via Bluetooth and are powered by two AA batteries each (included in the kit). This eliminates the need for cabling, saving time and cost. Unless there is a strong reason for a wired connection (such as a door width over 2710/5,5m wide, or heavy wireless interference), we strongly recommend choosing the wireless setup. 8 WIRELESS FIRST SAFETY BEAM INSTRUCTION SHEET OPENING TRANSMITTER AND RECEIVER UNITS Remove the screw at the top of the unit Gently lever the top of the front enclosure away from the shell Pull the entire front enclosure away from the shell INSERTING BATTERIES AND SETTING TO WIRELESS MODE Insert batteries BAT / SB (WIRED) SWITCH Ensure switch is set to BAT for battery powered / wireless mode (left position, away from the terminals) 9 WIRELESS FIRST SAFETY BEAM INSTRUCTION SHEET CAUTION Environmental sealing To maintain IP66 :
