DCF
INSTALLATION
Make connections as shown in Fig. 1 (RX) Fig. 2 (TX). Secure and power the photocell 12 - 24 Vac-dc.
Cover the photocell with the front part and secure with the screws provided. Pass across the photocell
range several times, to check relay response.
FUNCTIONING
The DCF180D photocell can be installed in groups, without interference between the photocells. Each
transmitter and receiver has a 4-way dip switch which assigns a different number to each pair of
photocells. (see Table)

WARNING: Pairs of photocells must not have the same
number.
IMPORTANT: to ensure operation, as described, the system must

not be disturbed by the infrared bands of different types of photocell.

Transmitter operation

The transmitter has a jumper (JP1) for power selection. To decrease

the photocell range (down to 10 m) open the jumper(JP1). The

flashing red LED L1 indicates proper transmitter operation.
Receiver operation

The receiver has 2 LEDs. The first LED (L1), below the 4-way
ON
OFF
dipswitch, indicates proper signal reception (the signal is being
ON
OFF
received if the LED is on ), while the second LED (L2) only flashes
when the signal is present (otherwise it is off). The time the LED is
on indicates signal quality. So the longer the LED is on, the better
quality signal.
If this photocell is used for a range of less than 2 m, the lens should
be removed and the JP1 power jumper on the transmitter opened.
With this photocell, operating speed can be selected by simply
setting the combination number of the 4-way dip switches. The
higher the "number" set (from 0 to 7, see the table), the slower the
operating speed (from 30 ms to 150 ms).
WARNING:
If more photocells pairs are used (max. 8 pairs), the following steps are
necessary in order to grant the correct synchronism:
Set at least a photocells pair with the code 0 (Dip 1 OFF; Dip 2 OFF; Dip 3
Ÿ
OFF; Dip 4 OFF)
Connect in series all the clamps nr. 4 (SYNC) of the transmitters
Ÿ
In case the transmitters are powered in AC, the connection of the
Ÿ
terminals 1 and 2 should be the same for all transmitters (pole A for
terminal 1 and pole B for terminal 2).
