The DoorHan LAMP PRO is a signal lamp designed as a safety device for automatic gate systems. Its primary function is to provide a visual warning about the initiation of gate movement and to remain active throughout the entire gate operation cycle. This ensures enhanced safety by alerting individuals to the gate's activity.

Technical Specifications:

Supply Voltage: The device is versatile, accepting a wide range of input voltages from 12V to 250V, compatible with both AC and DC power sources. This broad compatibility allows for integration into various electrical systems without requiring specific voltage converters.
Power Consumption: With a low power consumption of 3W, the LAMP PRO is energy-efficient, minimizing operational costs and environmental impact. Its low wattage makes it suitable for continuous operation without significantly contributing to the overall power load of the gate system.
IP Class: The device boasts an IP54 rating, indicating a good level of protection against dust ingress and splashing water from any direction. This makes it suitable for outdoor installation and ensures reliable operation in various weather conditions, protecting internal components from environmental factors.
Operating Temperature: The LAMP PRO is designed to operate reliably across a wide temperature range, from -40°C to +50°C. This robust temperature tolerance ensures its functionality in extreme cold and hot climates, making it suitable for global deployment in diverse environmental conditions.

Usage Features:

The LAMP PRO is intended to be an integral part of an automatic gate system, serving as a crucial safety indicator. Its operation is synchronized with the gate's movement, activating when the gate begins to move and deactivating once the gate has completed its cycle and is stationary. This continuous visual warning is particularly important in areas with pedestrian traffic or limited visibility, where an audible warning might not be sufficient or appropriate.

Installation:

The manual outlines two primary methods for installing the LAMP PRO, offering flexibility based on the mounting surface and aesthetic preferences. Both methods involve securing the lamp's base and connecting it to the gate system's power supply.

Method 1: Surface Mounting (e.g., on a flat surface or top of a gate post)

Preparation: The first step involves preparing the mounting surface. This typically includes ensuring the surface is clean, flat, and capable of securely holding the lamp.
Base Attachment: The lamp's base is designed with pre-drilled holes for screws. These holes are used to attach the base directly to the chosen surface. The manual illustrates the use of screws to firmly secure the base, ensuring stability.
Wiring: Once the base is attached, the electrical connections are made. The LAMP PRO requires a 2x0.5-12...250 AC/DC connection for power, with designated terminals for Ant (Antenna, if applicable for wireless communication or signal reception) and Gnd (Ground). The wiring should be routed neatly and securely to prevent damage and ensure proper operation. The manual shows the wires being fed through an opening in the base and connected to the internal terminals.
Cover Installation: After wiring, the protective cover is placed over the base and secured, typically with screws, to protect the internal components from the elements and tampering. This step completes the installation, making the lamp ready for operation.

Method 2: Wall Mounting

Marking and Drilling: This method begins by marking the desired mounting points on the wall. The manual indicates drilling holes with a diameter of 5mm for the mounting screws. The spacing between the holes is crucial for proper alignment of the lamp's base.
Base Attachment: Similar to surface mounting, the lamp's base is then attached to the wall using appropriate screws and wall plugs (if necessary for the wall material). The base is designed to be mounted vertically against a wall.
Wiring: Electrical connections are made in the same manner as Method 1. The 2x0.5-12...250 AC/DC power supply is connected to the Ant and Gnd terminals. Care must be taken to route the wiring securely, often through a conduit or directly into the wall, to maintain the IP rating and prevent damage.
Cover Installation: Finally, the protective cover is placed over the base and secured, completing the wall-mounted installation.

General Installation Considerations for Both Methods:

Safety First: The manual explicitly warns that "Improper installation or use of the device can lead to various injury." This underscores the importance of following the instructions carefully and, if unsure, seeking assistance from a qualified professional.
Cable Management: Proper cable management is essential for both safety and aesthetics. Wires should be routed to prevent tripping hazards, protected from physical damage, and sealed to maintain the device's IP rating.
Visibility: The lamp should be installed in a location where its light is clearly visible to anyone approaching the gate from either side, maximizing its effectiveness as a warning device.
Power Source: Ensure the power source matches the device's voltage requirements (12-250V AC/DC) and is capable of supplying the necessary current.
Grounding: Proper grounding (Gnd connection) is critical for electrical safety and to prevent potential damage from power surges.

Maintenance Features:

Given its robust IP54 rating and wide operating temperature range, the DoorHan LAMP PRO is designed for minimal maintenance.

Regular Inspection: Periodically inspect the lamp for any signs of physical damage, such as cracks in the casing or loose connections. Ensure the mounting screws are tight and the lamp is securely fixed.
Cleaning: The exterior of the lamp can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt, dust, or debris that might obstruct the light. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the plastic casing.
Electrical Connections: Occasionally check the electrical connections to ensure they remain secure and free from corrosion. If any wiring appears frayed or damaged, it should be repaired or replaced by a qualified technician.
Light Source: While the manual does not specify the type of light source (e.g., LED or incandescent), modern signal lamps often use long-lasting LEDs, which typically do not require replacement during the device's lifespan. If the lamp ceases to illuminate, first check the power supply and connections before considering internal component failure.
Environmental Protection: Ensure that the seals and gaskets that contribute to the IP54 rating are intact and not damaged, especially after any maintenance or inspection that required opening the device. This prevents water and dust ingress.

In summary, the DoorHan LAMP PRO is a reliable, energy-efficient, and robust safety device designed to enhance the safety of automatic gate systems through clear visual warnings. Its flexible installation options, wide voltage compatibility, and durable construction make it suitable for a broad range of applications and environmental conditions, with minimal maintenance requirements.
