INSTALLATION
The Model 633 is available in 3 versions:

1. Standard Version
Standard 633 detectors are mounted to the
door sides (Fig 2). They are normally fitted
flush with the door edge, but can be positioned
back from the door edge if necessary.

2. Leading Edge Version

Leading Edge 633 detectors are mounted on
the leading edge of the car doors (Fig 3). Fig 2

3. Mixed Version
Mixed 633 detectors are mounted on side- 16mm

opening doors. The TX detector is mounted

on the door and the RX detector on the
slampost (Fig 4).

SOFTWARE FEATURES
Fig 3
Power Reduction Function
This software feature prolongs the life-span of
the detectors by putting them into a less active
state when the lift is not in use. It automatically
activates when the detectors are stopped very
close together for more than 10 seconds. In
this mode, scanning is reduced to once every 2
seconds. If the doors start to open, or an obstruction is
detected, then the normal scanning and trigger
mode is resumed. The Power Reduction feature
will not operate if the detectors are fitted in a
static position. Fig 4

SYSTEM CONNECTION

For trouble-free installation we recommend Using a Memco Power Supply

installing the 633 system with a Memco
280 or 281 power supply. However in many
situations the 633 can be directly
connected to the lift controller or
door operator.
Direct Connection
The 633 can be connected directly to
the lift-controller or door-operator if it has
a suitable power supply and "door reopen"
circuit (Fig 5). The power supply must
be regulated DC (11-30V) with no
transients. The door reopen circuit
must accept a transistor drive and the
current must never exceed 100mA.
The standard 633 transistor configuration
is PNP Normally-Closed (PNP-N/C). A
PNP transistor means the load will be
connected between the output and 0V
(i.e. when the transistor is turned on the
load will draw current from the transistor
output). Normally Closed means the
transistor is turned on when a person or
object is not being detected.
A Memco power supply eliminates concern
about the electrical environment into which
the 633 is being installed and simplifies
wiring (Fig 6).
The Memco power supply provides:-
§ a regulated DC supply for the 633 detectors
§ a relay output for connection to the door
re-open circuit
§ an audible tone when the light-curtain
is broken (Note - this can be disabled)
Two versions are available:-
§ Model 280 is powered from an AC supply
(115/230V)
§ Model 281 is powered from a DC supply
(15-36V)
The Model 280/281 is factory-set for "fail-
safe" operation using standard PNP-N/C 633
detectors. However switches are provided
to allow detectors with other transistor
configurations to be used.

Other transistor configurations are

available on request. Any combination
of PNP/NPN and Normally-Open (N/O)
Normally-Closed (N/C) is possible.
However the standard configuration is
PNP-N/C because it offers "fail-safe"
operation.

Contact Memco to discuss direct

connection in more detail.
