Location
If possible choose a location where the detector is protected against direct sunlight, which
reduces the range. Please note that this is an optical system and consequently there must be
no obstructions between the transmitter and the detector. Indoors the light however is
reflected against walls, floor and ceiling. Light materials are good reflectors while dark
materials are bad ones. Glass will let the IR-light through.
Connection
Connect the detector according to the instructions for each individual receiver. NOTE! The
connection instructions refer to the colours of the detector cable. Be careful when connecting
the detector to the receiver. Making the wrong connection may damage the detector. When
lengthening the detector cable EKKX 1x2x0.5 is used. Maximum 100 m detector cable can
be connected.
Note! When mounting the Gewa Andromeda IR-DET OEM the detector casing must be
isolated from electrically conducting material.
Note! Detectors included in this manual can only be connected to Gewa Andromeda IR-
receivers.
