• Shut off all power going to the header before attempting any wiring procedures.

• Maintain a clean & safe environment when working in public areas.

• Constantly be aware of pedestrian traffic around the door area.

• Always stop pedestrian traffic through the doorway when performing testing that may result in unexpected

reactions by the door.

• Always check placement of all wiring and components before powering up to insure that moving door

parts will not catch any wires and cause damage to equipment.

To prepare the Bodyguard for mounting to the header, perform the following:

a) Remove both end caps from the Bodyguard (Picture 1). Each is attached by one Phillips head screw.

b) Remove both lenses from Bodyguard by simply sliding them out at each end (Picture 2).

c) Remove the center eye shield (Picture 3) (take care not to damage the light tube on the inner side of the

shield). Simply pull out from the top end and rotate out as shown below.

d) Slide the PCB out of the extrusion and set it aside (Picture 4).

Remember these guidelines when installing a Bodyguard:

 The Bodyguard should be mounted at a height range of 6’ 6” to 8’. Maximum mounting height is 9’.

 The Bodyguard should be mounted above the door on the swing side.

 The Bodyguard shall be mounted flush with the bottom of the automatic door header. This is absolutely

necessary to allow the detection pattern to reach back through the threshold area when the bodyguard is

in the open door position.

 For SINGLE DOOR APPLICATIONS, the Bodyguard should be mounted at the center of the door opening.

However, if this is not possible, the unit may be installed off-center. In such cases, pattern location will have to

be altered for proper placement of the field of detection. Try to avoid mounting locations that may pose

potential problems such as directly over a door arm.

 For DOUBLE-EGRESS APPLICATIONS, one

Bodyguard should be mounted over each swing-path.

There should be at least 40” of separation between the 2

Bodyguards when measured between the centerline of

each sensor.

 If the Bodyguard sensor is the only sensor being used

for safety at the swing side of the door, to be in

compliance with ANSI 156.10, a lockout safety beam or

door mounted safety side Superscan(s) is needed in

addition to the Bodyguard sensor.

CAUTION

: FOR ALL APPLICATIONS, REFER TO THE

PATTERN CHARTS FOR WIDTH AND

DEPTH IN THE APPLICABLE SECTION OF

THIS GUIDE. PATTERNS SHALL BE

ADJUSTED TO ACHIEVE MAXIMUM

DETECTION ZONES, AND SHALL BE IN

COMPLIANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE

SAFETY STANDARDS (I.E. ANSI A156.10).
