Working principle
This sensor is designed to detect a hand approaching to a touchless plate as a knowing act activation device. Please make
sure to understand the following working principle. If FLEX EYE mode is enabled (Dipswitch 13 is set to "ON"), this sensor
an activation output when both FLEX EYE and 2nd to 4th row of detection area detect some objects.
FLEX EYE means an area for the hand detection.
Safety output is designed to be used on door system that enables only while the door is open.
BLUEZONE is only activated while Activation output is emitted. When no detection, BLUEZONE is
deactivated. When FLEX EYE is enabled (Dipswitch 13 is set to "ON"), detection area (of 2nd to 6th row)
is safety output area.

a. Place the mounting template at the desired mounting position.
(When setting the detection area close to the door, mount the sensor according to the chart below.)
b. Drill two mounting holes of ø3.4 mm (ø1/8").
c. To pass the cable through the header, drill a wiring hole of ø8 mm (ø5/16").
d. Remove the mounting template.
e. Remove the housing cover. Fix the sensor to the mounting surface with the two mounting screws.
Make sure not to mount the sensor lower than the bottom of header.

CAUTION
Risk of getting caught
Make sure to affix the mounting
template as described in the
above chart, otherwise it can be
dangerous since there may be
no detection area around the
threshold. Install the sensor as
low as possible on the header.
a. Plug the connector.
b. Supply power to the sensor. Adjust the detection area and set the dipswitches.(See )Adjustments 4. Dipswitch settings
3. Turn ON the power
Make sure to connect the cable correctly to the door controller before turning the power ON.
When turning the power ON or after adjusting the settings, do not enter the detection area for more
than 10 s in order to enable the presence detection. Do not touch the dipswitches before turning the
power ON, otherwise an error occurs. After changing the dipswitch settings, make sure to push the
function switch for 2 s.
NOTE
Do not use the sensor without the cover. When using the cable knockout,
install the sensor indoors or use the rain cover (Separately available)
otherwise electric shock or breakdown of the sensor may occur.
WARNING Danger of electric shock
Place the housing cover.
If wiring is to be exposed, break the knockout.
4. Mounting the housing cover
