5) Testing and operational control
After the recognition phase make sure that the Led on the photocell flashes (both on the TX and on the RX). Check the status of the photocell on table 2 based
on the type of flash of the Led "L".

Warning: testing of the entire automation must be performed again in accor-
dance with that foreseen in the related installation manuals after photocells
have been added or replaced.
To check the photocells and to make sure that there is no interference with
other devices, pass a 5 cm diameter, 30 cm long cylinder on the optical axis,
first near TX, then near RX and finally at the mid-point between them (see Fig-
ure 15) and make sure that in all these cases the device is triggered, switch-
ing from the active to the alarm status and vice-versa. Finally, make sure that
6) Maintenance
The photocell does not require any particular maintenance, however a control
should be performed at least once every six months to check its integrity
(presence of dampness, rust, etc), as well as cleaning of the external casing
and lenses and testing as described in the previous paragraph. The F210B
6.1) Disposal
As for the installation, the disposal of the product, at the end of its effective
life, must be performed by qualified personnel. This product is made of vari-
ous types of material, some of which can be recycled while others must be

The device can be connected to "BlueBus" networks only from which it obtains its power supply and sends
output signals.

Action
Check that a voltage of approximately 8-12 Vdc is present on the
photocell terminals. If the voltage is correct the photocell is probably
malfunctioning
Repeat the recognition phase from the control unit, making sure that all
photocell pairs have different addresses
Normal operation
Normal operation
Normal operation but the the TX-RX alignment should be checked as
well as the cleanness of the glasses
It is at the limit of normal operation, the TX-RX alignment should be
checked as well as the cleanness of the glasses
Make sure that the LED on the TX flashes very slowly. Check to see if
there is an obstacle between TX and RX. Check the TX-RX alignment
the the intended action occurs in the control unit, for example that it causes
the reversal of the movement during the closing manoeuvre.
The control of the F210B optical presence sensor (type D) according to the
EN 12445 standard, is performed with the 700x300x200mm test paral-
lelepiped with 3 black sides and 3 polished white or mirrored sides as indi-
cated in figure 16 and according to chapter 7 of the EN 12445:2000 standard
(or enclosure A of prEN12445:2005).
photocell has been designed to function under normal conditions for at least
10 years, therefore maintenance should be performed more frequently once
this period has expired.
As indicated by the symbol in figure 17, this product
must not be disposed of along with household
waste. Perform "separated collection" for disposal in
compliance with regulations locally in force, or return
the product to the manufacturer when purchasing a
replacement.
Heavy fines may be imposed by local laws for the illegal disposal of this prod-
uct.
