The VIO-DT 1&2 is an advanced sensor system designed for automatic sliding doors, combining both opening and safety functionalities. It integrates a motion radar sensor for door activation with a double failsafe active infrared curtain to ensure the protection of users. The VIO-DT1 variant offers an energy-saving unidirectional sensing capability, while the VIO-DT2 provides bidirectional sensing.
The device operates by detecting motion in its radar field to trigger the door's opening mechanism. Simultaneously, an active infrared curtain creates a safety zone, preventing the door from closing on individuals or objects within its path. This dual-technology approach ensures both convenience and safety in high-traffic environments. The radar field can be adjusted in terms of size and angle, allowing for precise control over the detection area. The infrared curtains also offer adjustable angles to optimize the safety field.
The sensor system includes a main connector for power and signal integration with the door control unit. An IR-angle adjustment mechanism and a radar field size adjustment feature allow for fine-tuning of the detection zones. A push button is provided for setup procedures or confirming DIP-switch settings, facilitating easy configuration. The DIP-switches themselves enable selection of various operational modes and environmental settings.
The VIO-DT 1&2 offers several customizable settings to adapt to different environments and operational requirements. These settings are configured via DIP-switches:
After any change to the DIP-switch settings, the orange LED will flash, prompting the user to confirm the setting with a long push on the push button. A setup procedure should always be initiated after modifying DIP-settings to ensure proper functionality.
Two setup options are available:
The sensor provides visual feedback through LED indicators (Green, Red, Orange) to communicate its status and any detected issues. For instance, a quickly flashing orange LED indicates a DIP-switch change without confirmation, while a flashing red LED during assisted setup means the sensor detects the door. Different flashing patterns and colors correspond to various operational states, internal faults, power supply irregularities, or environmental disturbances like rain, vibrations, or detected objects.
To ensure optimal performance and longevity, the VIO-DT 1&2 requires minimal but consistent maintenance. The optical parts of the sensor should be cleaned at least once a year, or more frequently if environmental conditions necessitate it. This helps maintain the accuracy of the infrared detection.
The device is designed for durability, with an expected lifetime of 20 years. However, proper installation and regular checks are crucial. The manufacturer emphasizes that the door control unit and the door cover profile must be correctly earthed. For compliance with EN 16005, connection to the door controller test output is required.
In case of troubleshooting, the LED signals provide clear indications for diagnosing problems. For example, if the orange LED flashes once, it suggests an internal fault, prompting a power supply cut and restore, or sensor replacement if the issue persists. If the red LED lights up sporadically, it could indicate vibrations, suggesting a check of the sensor's fastening and prism position. Environmental disturbances like rain or leaves might require selecting the "critical environment" presetting.
The manufacturer also provides important safety instructions, including the necessity of testing the installation's good functioning before leaving the premises. The device is intended for specific uses, and any other use is not guaranteed. Only trained and qualified personnel should install and set up the sensor. Unauthorized repairs will void the warranty. Users should avoid touching electronic and optical components, vibrations, and proximity to neon lamps or moving objects to prevent interference.
