PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND INTENDED USE
The DART ADJUSTABLE photocell, which uses simple and
effective electronics, is suitable for all types of systems and
conditions (Fig. 3).
The rotation mechanism of the board allows the item to be
used in all cases where there is no option to install photocells
in the front position or at the same height (Fig. 9).
PRELIMINARY CHECKS
• Check that the item inside the packaging is intact and in
good condition.
• Ensure that the positioning of the photocells allows for cor-
rect installation and securing of the photocells (Fig. 2).

INSTALLATION AND ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Operation with facing transmitter and receiver. Double safety
relay.
• Proceed as shown in Figure 4-5.
• Depending on the cable routing position, drill holes in the
base in the prearranged area (see Fig. 6).
• Proceed as shown in Figure 7 using rawlplugs (Ø max
5 mm) and corresponding screws (not included).
• Connect the cables in the terminals according to the dia-
gram (Fig. 15): 4 on the RX photocell and 2 the TX photo-
cell, from the respective control unit input.
• Use silicone to seal the cable entry hole (Fig. 8).
• When required, orient the board by slightly loosening the
two screws on the support. Do not unscrew them com-
pletely and screw them back in securely at the end of the
procedure (Fig. 9).
• Before closing the photocell, test the transmitter (TX pho-
tocell) with the receiver (RX photocell) and check on the
receiver that the red alignment light (LED1) switches off
(Fig. 10).
• Proceed as shown in Figure 11-12.
TESTING
Test for the correct operation of the photocells.
BOARD REPLACEMENT
