K-Class

Installation Guide
Ref. No K850-2 V02 GB

Dynamic Installation
The detector is mounted on the car doors using
the dynamic fixing kit provided.

1. Position each detector on the car door. Check

the detectors will be:-

• fitted approximately 5mm above the sill

• aligned level and straight with each

other

2. Screw the detectors to the door using the

M3*16(No 4x16) self-drilling screws provided.

3. Ensure the cables are securely held, there are

no tight bends and they are not stressed or
stretched as the doors move.

Static Installation
K-Class can be mounted to the car using the static
fixing kit (Figs 3, 4). This fixing kit must be ordered
separately (Part No K802 or K812).
1. Fix each detector to the support bracket using the
M4 nuts, bolts and washers provided
2. Fix the sill bracket to the lift car using the M6 or
M8 nuts, bolts and washers provided. Ensure the
detectors will be positioned no more than 3m
(10ft) apart.
3. Insert the tongue of the support bracket into the
sill bracket (Fig 3).
4. Use the ‘L’ brackets to fix the tops of the support
brackets to an appropriate fixing on the lift car
(Fig 4). Ensure the detectors are aligned vertical
and straight with each other.
5. Ensure the cables are securely held, there are no
tight bends and they are not stressed or stretched
as the doors move.

System Connection
K-Class detectors can be directly connected to the lift controller or door operator (Fig 5 & 6). In such cases the
output inside the RX detector directly drives the “door re-open” circuit on the lift.

Warning – direct connection requires good understanding of both lift and detector electronics. Any
incompatibility between the two systems may cause permanent damage to either. If you have any doubts then
you should use a APS04498 / APS04500 Power Supply instead (see Fig 7 & 8 for connection details).

Check:
1. DC – do not use an AC supply.
2. Regulated – do not use an unsmoothed supply
3. Correct Voltage – the voltage must be at least 11V and never exceed 30V DC average under any
circumstances.
4. Peak ripple voltage should not exceed 30V.
5. Sufficient Power – the supply must be capable of supplying at least 100mA plus whatever current is needed
to drive the ‘Door-Reopen’ circuit on the lift.
6. If multiple detectors are installed in one elevator, ensure that either receiver (RX) is only facing one TX.

Important
1. Do not shorten cables by cutting them.
2. Ensure all cables are kept away from AC mains or high voltages.
3. Ensure all power to the lift is completely turned off while wiring the detectors.
4. Connect the TX and RX cables to a voltage-free terminal block on the lift car as shown in Fig 5 &6. We
recommend always connecting the 0V’ (black) wires first. Connect the car-top terminal block to the lift
controller or door operator using the wires as shown.
5. Turn on power to the system and fully test the installation.
