AMB10 - 15 - 20
3. MAIN FEATURES
• Aluminium section.
• Top rubber and bottom ABS plugs with sponge-protected bottom aperture for proper aeration and hence
condensate and insect penetration prevention inside the column to avoid the risk of damaging the photocells.
• Polycarbonate cover.
• Wall mounting by screws and O rings provided.
• Four pairs of transmitter + receiver sensors provided as standard.
• Possibility of expanding to up to 8 pairs of sensors (additional beam code AMB-EX).
• Transmitter and Receiver sensors sliding on appropriate inner guide and securing by means of screws.
• Break-in and tear-off prevention tamper (may be cut out by acting on the NO TMP1 and NO TMP2 jumpers
accordingly) for each column.
• Incorporated photocell amplifier with the following technical characteristics:
− multiplexed and synchronised system;
− up to 4 beam management (8 clusters).
− MASTER Output: 5 channel radio transmitter (INTRUSION, INTRUSION END, SUPERVISION, FLAT
BATTERY, AND TAMPER).
− SLAVE output (optional): 4 channel radio transmitter (SUPERVISION, FLAT BATTERY, TAMPER,
TAMPER END)
− Simple alignment procedure for easy sensor installation and alignment.
− Enabling of beam employed by means of the four-contact "BEAM" dip-switch.
− Buzzer for alignment signalling during installation.
− Operating mode selection by means of the "FUNCTION" dip-switch as specified in the table herewith:

4. OPERATING PRINCIPLE
The AMB10-15-20 infrared beam barriers feature a MASTER and a SLAVE card with beam 1 on board and an
additional beam made up of a pair of TX transmitter and RX receiver sensors.
Each beam is made up of a 2-way (outgoing and incoming) infrared beam cluster; the MASTER transmits the
signal to the SLAVE, which correctly receives it and returns the transmission to the MASTER, essentially
behaving as an "electronic" mirror.
The barrier has a four-beam management capacity (8 clusters in all), which may be expanded, even by one
beam at a time (code AMB-EX when ordering).
