Pinnacle microguard - Appendix A: Diagnostics and Troubleshooting; Obstruction or Misalignment Display; Error Conditions and Definitions

Obstruction or Misalignment
When the curtain is obstructed or misaligned, the display
will present four numbers to indicate location of obstruction
or misalignment. Not a scrolling message.
Distance
The rst three numbers displayed represent (in inches) the
rst obstructed or misaligned beam on the guard starting
from the cable end of the pylon. The third digit is blank for
whole inches and “5” for half inches.
Total #
The last digit indicates the total number of beams blocked or
misaligned. The digit counts in Hexadecimal (0 to F = 0 to 15
beams). A “>” sign indicates more than 15 beams missing.
“A”=10 beams, “B”=11 beams, “C”=12 beams, “D”=13
beams, “E”=14 beams, “F”=15 beams
Error Conditions
When a scrolling ERROR message is displayed, the end of
the message will display a set of numbers to indicate where
along the pylon the problem resides.
The rst two numbers displayed represent the rst problem
beam on the guard starting from the cable end of the pylon.
The third number represents the total number of beams
blocked on the guard. Boards inside each pylon are exactly
four inches long. Using this you can determine which board
in the pylon is bad.
Denitions
BOARD #: Indicates rst board on which a problem was
detected (01 to 17).
(i.e., 01 = board nearest cable connection)
BEAM #: Indicates first problem beam on the board
indicated above (1 to 8).
(i.e., 1 = rst beam on board, 8 = last beam on
board)
TOTAL #: Indicates total number of blocked beams on the
curtain.
(i.e., 1 to 9 beams then A to F = 10 to 15 beams)

Obstruction or Misalignment
When the curtain is obstructed or misaligned, the display will
present four numbers to indicate location of obstruction or
misalignment. Not a scrolling message.
Beam # (Distance)
The rst three numbers displayed represent the beam # of the
rst obstructed or misaligned beam. Beam #1 is located at the
cable end of the pylon and counts up. If you have a ½” beam
spacing (-0F), the number increment every ½”. If you have 1”
beam spacing (-0F1), the number increments every 1”. If you
have 4” beam spacing (-0F4), the number increments by 1” for
the rst 4 beams, then jumps a 4” gap, then increments by 1” for
the next 4 beams, then another gap, etc., etc.
Note: If you have multiple pylons to one control box (-SC), the
cable end of the 2nd pylon is the next beam# after the 1st pylon,
etc. etc.
Note: If you tap the Reset button (inside of the door), the Display
will increment to show you the next blocked beam
Note: You can also use the USB port to read the obstruction
locations (see appendix D)
Total #
The last digit indicates the total number of beams blocked or
misaligned. The digit counts in Hexadecimal (0 to F = 0 to 15
beams). A “>” sign indicates more than 15 beams missing.
“A”=10 beams, “B”=11 beams, “C”=12 beams, “D”=13 beams,
“E”=14 beams, “F”=15 beams
Examples:
604 = The 60th beam is blocked along with 3 more beams
10A= The 10th beam is blocked along with 9 more beams
Error Conditions
When a scrolling ERROR message is displayed, the end of the
message will display a set of numbers to indicate where along
the pylon the problem resides.
Beam # (Distance)
As dened above under “Obstruction or Misalignment.”
NOTE: For all guards with a USB connector
on the inside of the door (after 6/2012)

omputing Object Size
To compute an object’s size, use the following formula:
size(inches) = TOTAL# x 0.5"
This can be used to evaluate an object’s size up to 7.5"
in diameter.
(i.e., TOTAL# = 3 so SIZE = 1.5")
(i.e., TOTAL# = D so SIZE = 6.5")

1255 = First obstruction located 12.5" from
