Installation and Operation Instructions

Description

The Point Six IR Point Sensor is a battery operated infrared beam interruption sensor with a

418 MHz radio transmitter. The sensor consists of two parts; the IR transmitter and the IR receiver.

The IR receiver has an integrated 6-digit LCD counter and a radio transmitter for truly wireless

installation and operation. The IR transmitter produces 16 pulses of IR each second across a

distance of up to 60 feet in low power mode and 100 feet in high power mode. The user can select

the power mode by pushbutton on the IR transmitter. The IR transmitter flashes 16 pulses of high

intensity IR each second. The nature of these IR pulses is such that the IR receiver can distinguish

them from any other source of IR. This characteristic allows the IR sensor to operate in almost any

environment without interference from ambient lighting.

The IR Point Sensor is designed to require very little energy; the 3 3.6 Volt Lithium batteries will

operate the IR receiver for up to 8 years in normal operation. The IR receiver and IR transmitter can

be placed in a Shipping Mode to lower energy usage and to prevent Radio transmissions during

shipping. Holding the pushbutton down for a period of time greater than 10 seconds and then

releasing will enter Shipping Mode. IR receiver Shipping mode is indicated by the LCD display

counting automatically 1 count each second. When shipped from the manufacturer the IR counter will

always be in Shipping Mode. A rapid flashing of the LED indicates IR transmitter shipping mode when

the pushbutton is pressed for less than 4 seconds.

Shipping mode is terminated by entry into Online Mode. Online mode is entered from Shipping

Mode by pushing and holding the pushbutton for greater than 4 seconds and less than 8 seconds or

for the IR receiver until the LCD display clears to zero. While in Online Mode the IR Point Sensor can

be placed in Shipping Mode by pushing and holding the pushbutton for greater than 8 seconds, upon

release the IR Point Sensor will enter Shipping Mode and will begin counting on the LCD display once

each second. Note that both the receiver and the transmitter are shipped in Shipping Mode and must

be placed in Online Mode for normal operation. The IR transmitter indicates shipping mode by a rapid

flashing of the LED whenever the pushbutton is pressed for periods of less than 4 seconds.

While in Online Mode the user can place the receiver in Setup Mode by pushing the pushbutton for a

short time of 1- 4 seconds. The receiver will be placed in Setup Mode to aid in alignment of the

transmitter and receiver. For a period of 2 minutes the LED on the receiver will glow to indicate the

In Online Mode the LED on the front of the receiver will flash briefly each time the IR beam is interrupted. The LCD counter will count each beam interruption and the internal 24-bit counters will count the beam- interruption and the beaminterruption-time.
