6.1 - INSTALL AND CONNECT PH100W PHOTOCELLS VIA
RADIO
Warnings: • For the safety of the automation, the photocell pair must
operate exclusively for direct interpolation between the transmitting ele-
ment (TX) and the receiving element (RX): it is not configured for reflec-
tion. • Two or more wireless photocells pairs do not generate any opti-
cal interference between them, even if they are placed close together. •
Wall mounting of the rear base of each photocell must be done preferably
after you have programmed and tested the photocell pair. • Choose the
positioning of the two elements that make up the photocell (TX and RX)
respecting the following requirements:
- Place them at a height of 40-60 cm above ground, at the sides of the
area to be protected, and as close as possible to the gate wire (no fur-
ther than 15 cm).
- Point the TX transmitter towards the RX receiver, with a maximum mis-
alignment of 5°.
To install the unit, proceed as follows:
20
01. Remove the pair of PH100W photocells as shown in fig. 20. Cau-
tion! – Do not remove any parts other than those shown in the figure.
02. In Table 7 and fig. A choose the operational mode you wish to
assign to the photocell pair. Then, insert the jumper into TX and into
RX, in the position corresponding to the chosen function. Caution!
– Each pair of photocells must have a different function than those
which are assigned to other pairs of photocells.
03. Program and test the pair of photocells. With the device still open,
see STEP 7.
04. Choose the place and the position in which to install the photocells.
First, read the following warnings: • PH100W may be installed only in
the position shown in fig. 25. • The TX and RX elements each include
a cell for solar power; therefore it can be used only in open areas
which are directly illuminated by the sun. Check estimated autonomy
(paragraph 3.2.1). To increase battery life it is recommended, where
practical and preferable, to point the cell in the direction of maximum
sunlight. In each case however, comply with the rules for choosing
the position of the photocells (distance from the leaf and height from
the ground). • Position the TX in the most sunlit conditions, in pref-
erence to the RX element, as between the 2 it is the one with the
greatest consumption. • When installing, avoid situations where the
cell can be obscured (for example, tree foliage); for the same reason,
avoid positioning the photocells in nooks.
05. Move PH100W close to the control unit and program it: see para-
graph 7.3 - STEP 7.
06. Provisionally position PH100W in the location intended for its instal-
lation. Finally, proceed to verification of correct operation of all sys-
tem devices, carrying out the Testing of the system as a whole as

described in STEP 8, paragraph 8.2.
07. Once testing is complete, affix the photocells firmly, referring to fig.
