Hi There,
I have a garage door that was installed.
http://www.et.co.za/dc_blue_digital.html
I have decided to activate the auto-close feature (with a maximum settable time of 2min). I need to install some infra-red beams to stop it closing on people or cars though. I bought the beams that were suggested with the unit but I cannot figure out the wiring 100%.
I have attached 4 docs.
1. NB - Garage door "wiring"
2. Garage door "full" - this is the full 13 page user manual that includes the "wiring" page. This might be more information then needed so it's just included in case it's needed (and I missed something).
3. A picture of the garage door circuit.
4. NB - The beams 1 page instruction manual. I've labeled the wiring point T1;T2 & R1;R2;R3;R4;R5 to make things easier.
From the instruction manual I take it this is the suggested wiring (but I don't want to blow something):
TX Beam
T1 >> 12v- (also labeled "V+" in the picture)
T2 >> GND
RX Beam
R1 >> 12v- (also labeled "V+" in the picture)
R2 >> GND
R3 >> Nothing
R4 >> Nothing
R5 >> Beam (N/C) (also labeled "INFRA" in the picture)
Please let me know if I'm correct or if I'm about to fry something
Thanks,
Karl
