TOPENS TC102 Infrared Photocell Sensor Instruction Manual

1. නිෂ්පාදන අවසන්view

The TOPENS TC102 is a photoelectric sensor designed to enhance the safety of automatic gate and garage door opener systems. It utilizes an infrared light beam to detect obstructions, triggering the gate or door to stop or reverse automatically. This sensor is suitable for various applications, including residential, commercial, and industrial sites.

The TOPENS TC102 Safety Photocell Infrared Beam Sensor, featuring two units (emitter and receiver).

ප්රධාන ලක්ෂණ:

• විශ්වසනීය හඳුනාගැනීම: Uses infrared light to create a safety barrier, detecting movement between the emitter and receiver.
• ස්පර්ශ නොවන සංවේදනය: Provides high detection accuracy and fast response.
• Interference Immunity: Designed to be immune to strong light interference from sources like sunlight and vehicle headlights.
• කාලගුණයට ඔරොත්තු දෙන: Constructed to withstand various weather conditions for year-round outdoor use.
• පුළුල් අනුකූලතාව: Works with all TOPENS gate openers and most third-party swing/sliding gate openers or garage door openers that accept 'Normal Open' or 'Normal Close Dry Contact' signals.

The TC102 sensor provides a safety reversing function, stopping or reversing the gate if an obstruction like a pet is detected.

Key technical specifications of the TC102 sensor, including 1.92 KHz frequency, 10 ms response time, <10° tracking angle, and 12-24VDC/VAC operating voltage.

The TC102 sensor is designed for all-weather protection, capable of operating in various environmental conditions.

The TC102 sensor's infrared beam is designed to be undisturbed by external light sources such as car lights, sunlight, or other ambient lighting.

2.1 Positioning and Alignment

Proper positioning and alignment are crucial for the optimal performance of the TC102 sensor. The emitter and receiver units must be installed facing each other, ensuring an unobstructed line of sight.

1. It is recommended to mount the photocell sensor at least 8 inches (20 cm) above the ground.
2. Temporarily secure the emitter and receiver in their approximate positions.
3. Power on the sensor. The POWER LED on both the receiver and emitter should turn on.
4. Align the emitter and receiver. The photocell status LED (OFF LED) on the receiver will turn off when the beam is correctly aligned. Adjust the position of the emitter until the OFF LED remains off.
5. Ensure there is no obstruction between the receiver and the emitter during alignment.

2.2 රැහැන්

The TC102 sensor requires connection to both a power source and the gate opener's control board. Refer to the detailed wiring diagram below and the gate opener's specific manual for precise connections.

1. Remove the housings of the emitter and receiver to access the wiring terminals.
2. Connect one end of a 2-core wire (not included) to the emitter's terminals.
3. Connect the other end of the 2-core wire to a 4-core wire (not included).
4. Connect the 4-core wire to the receiver's terminals.
5. Connect the other end of the 4-core wire to a 24V battery (or appropriate power source) to power the photocell sensor. The POWER LED on both units should illuminate.
6. Connect the sensor's output wires to the gate opener's control board. The TC102 supports 'Normal Open' or 'Normal Close Dry Contact' signal inputs. Consult your gate opener's manual for specific terminal connections.

2.3 සවි කිරීම

Once the sensor positions are confirmed and wiring is complete, proceed with permanent mounting.

1. Mark the mounting holes on the installation surface using the sensor units as a template.
2. Drill the marked holes and secure the sensors using the included expansion bolts. For enhanced stability, consider placing a rubber pad (not included) between the sensor and the mounting surface.
3. After fixing the sensors, install the waterproof O-ring seal and reattach the housings to protect the internal components.

3. මෙහෙයුම් මූලධර්ම

The TC102 sensor operates by continuously emitting an infrared beam from the transmitter to the receiver. When this beam is interrupted by an object (e.g., a person, vehicle, or animal), the receiver detects the interruption and sends a signal to the connected gate or garage door opener's control board. This signal instructs the opener to stop or reverse its movement, preventing potential accidents or damage.

ගැළපුම:

• Fully compatible with all TOPENS gate openers.
• Compatible with most third-party swing/sliding gate openers or garage door openers that accept 'Normal Open' or 'Normal Close Dry Contact' signals.
• Can be powered by the gate opener's control board or an external 12-24VDC or 12-24VAC power source.

4. නඩත්තු කිරීම

The TOPENS TC102 sensor is designed for durability and minimal maintenance. To ensure continued reliable operation:

• Regularly inspect the sensor units for any physical damage or obstructions.
• Keep the lenses of both the emitter and receiver clean. Dust, dirt, or spiderwebs can interfere with the infrared beam. Use a soft, clean cloth to gently wipe the lenses.
• Verify that the wiring connections remain secure and free from corrosion.
• The sensor's weather-resistant design protects it from environmental elements, but extreme conditions may temporarily affect its sensing range.

5. දෝශ නිරාකරණය

If the TC102 sensor is not functioning as expected, perform the following checks:

1. බල පරීක්ෂාව: Ensure both the emitter and receiver units are receiving power. The POWER LED on each unit should be illuminated.
2. පෙළගැස්ම පරීක්ෂා කිරීම: Verify that the infrared beam is properly aligned. The OFF LED on the receiver should be off when the beam is unobstructed. If it's on, realign the units.
3. අවහිරතා පරීක්ෂාව: Confirm there are no physical obstructions (e.g., debris, vegetation, animals) blocking the path between the emitter and receiver.
4. රැහැන් පරීක්ෂාව: Inspect all wiring connections for looseness, damage, or incorrect polarity.
5. ක්‍රියාකාරීත්ව පරීක්ෂණය: After installation and alignment, test the sensor by intentionally blocking the beam to ensure the gate opener responds correctly (stops or reverses).
