Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein System zum Öffnen und/oder Schließen eines Tores sowie eine Sendeeinheit hierfür. Tore im Sinne der Erfindung sind neben Toren zum Verschließen von abgetrennten Bereichen auch alle Einrichtungen, wie z. B. Türen, Barrieren oder Schranken, die im geschlossenen Zustand das Passieren eines Bereiches verhindern.The present invention relates to a system for opening and / or closing a gate as well a transmission unit for this. Gates in the sense of the invention are next to gates for closing separated areas also all facilities such. B. doors, barriers or barriers that in closed state to prevent the passage of an area.

Systeme zum Öffnen und/oder Schließen eines Tores sind seit langem bekannt. So ist es beispielsweise bei Garagentoren oftmals möglich, durch Betätigen eines Schalters das Garagentor automatisch zu öffnen oder zu schließen. Damit eine Betätigung des Schalters nicht durch Unberechtigte erfolgt, ist der Schalter von der Außenseite der Garage meist nur mittels eines Schlüssels oder durch Eingabe eines entsprechenden Codes betätigbar. Diese Systeme haben u. a. den Nachteil, daß sie einen hohen Installationsaufwand erfordern, da eine Verbindung zwischen Schalter einerseits und Antriebseinheit für das Tor andererseits vorgesehen werden muß. Eine nachträgliche Installation eines solchen Systems in ein bereits installiertes Garagentor ist kaum möglich.Systems for opening and / or closing a gate have been known for a long time. For example, it is Often possible with garage doors, the garage door automatically by pressing a switch to open or close. So that the switch is not operated by unauthorized persons is done, the switch is usually only from the outside of the garage using a key or can be operated by entering an appropriate code. These systems may have a. the disadvantage that they require a lot of installation work, because a connection between switches on the one hand and drive unit for the gate must be provided on the other hand. A subsequent installation such a system in an already installed garage door is hardly possible.

Um den Installationsaufwand zu verringern und eine bequemere Betätigung des Schalters zu ermöglichen, sind bereits seit geraumer Zeit Systeme mit Sende- und Empfangseinheiten im Einsatz. Dabei wird ein Zugang, beispielsweise ein Garagentor, mit Hilfe einer Fernbedienung geöffnet und/oder geschlossen. Die Fernbedienung ist eine Sendeeinheit, die beim Betätigen ein-meist kodiertes - Signal an eine direkt am Antrieb des Tores angeordnete Empfangseinheit sendet, die wiederum, sobald sie das entsprechende Signal empfängt, den Antrieb des Tores entsprechend dem gewünschten Schließ- oder Öffnungsvorgang steuert.To reduce the installation effort and a more convenient operation of the switch systems with transmitting and receiving units in the Commitment. An entrance, for example a garage door, is activated using a remote control opened and / or closed. The remote control is a transmitter unit that when pressed most often encoded - sends a signal to a receiver unit located directly on the door operator, which in turn, as soon as it receives the corresponding signal, the drive of the gate accordingly controls the desired closing or opening process.

Üblicherweise kommt hierbei ein Infrarotsender zum Einsatz. So kann beispielsweise der Fahrer eines PKW, der auf das zu öffnende Garagentor zufährt, den Infrarotsender betätigen, worauf ein Signal von dem Sender zu einer mit dem Antrieb des Tores verbundenen Empfänger gesendet wird und sich daraufhin das Tor automatisch öffnet.An infrared transmitter is usually used here. For example, the driver of a car driving towards the garage door to be opened, actuate the infrared transmitter, whereupon a Signal is sent from the transmitter to a receiver connected to the drive of the gate and then the gate opens automatically.

Nach dem Passieren des geöffneten Tores kann sich dieses entweder automatisch wieder schließen oder nach erneutem Betätigen des Infrarotsenders.After passing the open gate, it can either automatically close again or after pressing the infrared transmitter again.

Dieses System hat jedoch den Nachteil, daß dann, wenn der von dem Tor abgegrenzte Bereich von mehreren Personen betreten werden soll, jede der Personen eine entsprechende Sendeeinheit besitzen muß, was die Kosten des Systems in die Höhe treibt. Außerdem kann es passieren, daß der Benutzer die Fernbedienung versehentlich nicht mit sich führt oder die Fernbedienung - beispielsweise aufgrund einer Ermüdung der Batterien, welche die Fernbedienung mit Strom versorgen, nicht betriebsbereit ist.However, this system has the disadvantage that if the area of several people are to be entered, each of the people has a corresponding transmission unit must what drives up the cost of the system. It may also happen that the User accidentally does not carry the remote control or the remote control - for example due to fatigue in the batteries that power the remote control is ready for operation.

Auch für den Fall, daß eine Sendeeinheit aus irgendwelchen Gründen verloren geht, gestohlen wird oder beispielsweise von einem Benutzer dessen Berechtigung zum Betreten des abgetrennten Bereichs erloschen ist, die Sendeeinheit nicht zurückgibt, ergibt sich das Problem, daß dann entweder alle Sendeeinheiten und die Empfangseinheit umgerüstet oder - im schlimmsten Fall - sogar ausgetauscht werden müssen.Also in the event that a transmitter unit is lost for any reason, it is stolen or, for example, from a user's authorization to enter the separated area is extinguished, the sending unit does not return, the problem arises that then either all transmitter units and the receiver unit converted or - in the worst case - even exchanged Need to become.

Es ist daher Aufgabe der Erfindung, ein System zum Öffnen und/oder Schließen eines Tores und eine entsprechende Sendeeinheit zur Verfügung zu stellen, daß kostengünstig die Benutzung durch eine beliebige Anzahl von Benutzern erlaubt, daß einfach zu handhaben und ohne großen Installationsaufwand montierbar ist, so daß das System auch nachgerüstet werden kann.It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a system for opening and / or closing a gate and to provide a corresponding transmission unit that is inexpensive to use Any number of users allows that to be easy to use and with little installation effort can be installed so that the system can also be retrofitted.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch ein System zum Öffnen und/oder Schließen eines Tores mit einem Torantrieb und einer Sendeeinheit und einer Empfangseinheit, wobei die Sendeeinheit für das Übertragen eines Steuersignales zu der mit dem Antrieb des Tores verbundenen Empfangseinheit vorgesehen ist, wobei die Sendeeinheit durch Lichtsignale aktiviert wird.The object is achieved according to the invention by a system for opening and / or closing a Gate with a door drive and a transmitter unit and a receiver unit, the transmitter unit for the transmission of a control signal to the one connected to the drive of the gate Receiver unit is provided, the transmitter unit being activated by light signals.

Durch diese Maßnahme ist es möglich, daß die Sendeeinheit beispielsweise mit Hilfe einer Taschenlampe oder den Scheinwerfern eines PKW aktiviert wird. Die Sendeeinheit kann dann ortsfest in der Nähe des zu öffnenden Tores angebracht werden. Somit kann das Tor von nahezu einer beliebigen Anzahl von berechtigten Personen einfach durch Betätigen der Lichthupe aktiviert werden.This measure makes it possible for the transmitter unit, for example, to use a flashlight or the headlights of a car is activated. The transmitter unit can then be stationary near the gate to be opened. Thus, the gate can be used by almost anyone Number of authorized persons can be activated simply by pressing the headlight flasher.

So könnte beispielsweise die Sendeeinheit derart eingestellt sein, daß sie lediglich durch die Erfassung von drei kurzen Lichtpulsen innerhalb eines Zeitintervalls von z. B. zwei Sekunden aktiviert wird. Jede Person, die diese Abfolge von Lichtpulsen, d.h. den Code, sendet, kann so das Garagentor automatisch öffnen. Im Falle eines Defektes oder der Änderung des Codes muß lediglich die Sendeeinheit ausgetauscht bzw. modifiziert werden. Den nach dem Austausch berechtigten Personen wird dann der neue Code bzw. die neue Abfolge von Lichtpulsen mitgeteilt, mit denen das Tor geöffnet werden kann.For example, the transmitter unit could be set in such a way that it is only detected of three short light pulses within a time interval of e.g. B. activated for two seconds becomes. Any person who has this sequence of light pulses, i.e. the garage door can send the code open automatically. In the event of a defect or a change in the code, only the Transmitter unit can be replaced or modified. The persons authorized after the exchange the new code or the new sequence of light pulses is then communicated with which the gate can be opened.

An dieser Stelle soll ausdrücklich betont werden, daß die vorliegende Erfindung prinzipiell für ein System zum Öffnen und/oder Schließen eines Tores geeignet ist, jedoch insbesondere für das Öffnen eines Tores entwickelt worden ist. Das Schließen des Tores kann beispielsweise auch automatisch nach Verstreichen eines entsprechend eingestellten Zeitintervalls erfolgen. Wenn im folgenden daher oftmals nur vom Öffnen des Tores die Rede ist, versteht es sich, daß dieselben erfindungsgemäßen Maßnahmen auch für das Schließen des Tores verwendet werden könnten.At this point it should be emphasized that the present invention is principally for a System for opening and / or closing a gate is suitable, but especially for opening a gate has been developed. The gate can also be closed automatically, for example after a correspondingly set time interval has elapsed. If in the following therefore often only the opening of the gate is mentioned, it is understood that the same according to the invention Measures could also be used for closing the gate.

Besonders bevorzugt ist die Sendeeinheit derart ausgelegt bzw. angeordnet, daß sie mit Hilfe von PKW-Scheinwerfern aktiviert werden kann.The transmission unit is particularly preferably designed or arranged in such a way that it can be Car headlights can be activated.

Diese Maßnahme hat den Vorteil, daß für die Öffnung des Garagentores keine Taschenlampe oder andere geeignete Lichtquelle mitgeführt werden muß, sondern lediglich die Lichthupe am Kraftfahrzeug in geeigneter Art und Weise betätigt werden muß. Es besteht somit nicht die Gefahr, daß ein berechtigter Benutzer die Taschenlampe oder eine andere geeignete Lichtquelle verlegt oder vergißt. Auch muß nur die - fest installierte - Sendeeinheit regelmäßig gewartet werden.This measure has the advantage that no flashlight or for opening the garage door other suitable light source must be carried, but only the flasher on the motor vehicle must be operated in a suitable manner. There is therefore no risk that a Authorized user misplaces or forgets the flashlight or other suitable light source. Also, only the - permanently installed - transmitter unit has to be serviced regularly.

In einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist die Sendeeinheit an dem Tor selbst befestigt. Dies hat den Vorteil, daß zum Aktivieren der Sendeeinheit der Bediener mit seinem PKW direkt auf das Tor zufahren kann und die Lichtsignale mit Hilfe des PKW-Scheinwerfers erzeugen kann. Der Benutzer kann somit das Tor bequem und mit minimaler Verzögerung passieren.In a particularly preferred embodiment, the transmitter unit is attached to the gate itself. This has the advantage that the operator opens his car directly to activate the transmitter unit the gate can close and generate the light signals with the help of the car headlight. The Users can thus pass through the gate comfortably and with minimal delay.

Hinsichtlich der Sendeeinheit wird die eingangs beschriebene Aufgabe gelöst durch eine Sendeeinheit für das drahtlose Übertragen eines Steuersignals an eine Empfangseinheit, wobei die Sendeeinheit einen Lichtsensor aufweist und mittels eines von dem Lichtsensor erfaßten Lichtsignals aktiviert werden kann. Der Lichtsensor kann prinzipiell von jedem geeigneten Typ sein. Mit Vorteil kommt hier jedoch mindestens eine Fotodiode zum Einsatz.With regard to the transmission unit, the task described in the introduction is achieved by a transmission unit for the wireless transmission of a control signal to a receiving unit, the transmitting unit has a light sensor and activated by means of a light signal detected by the light sensor can be. In principle, the light sensor can be of any suitable type. With advantage however, at least one photodiode is used here.

In einer besonders zweckmäßigen Ausführungsform kommen mehrere Fotodioden zum Einsatz, die in unterschiedlichen Höhen angeordnet sind. Dadurch wird berücksichtigt, daß die Autoscheinwerfer von unterschiedlichen Herstellern und Fabrikaten oftmals in unterschiedlichen Höhen angeordnet sind. Es ist daher mit nahezu jedem Auto beliebigen Fabrikats und Typs möglich, die erfindungsgemäße Sendeeinheit zu aktivieren.In a particularly expedient embodiment, several photodiodes are used that are arranged at different heights. This takes into account that the car headlights from different manufacturers and brands often arranged at different heights are. It is therefore possible with almost any car of any make and type, the invention To activate the transmitter unit.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist die Sendeeinheit derart konfiguriert, daß sie durch eine vorbestimmte Abfolge von Lichtsignalen vorbestimmter Länge aktiviert werden kann. Damit ist sichergestellt, daß nur berechtigte Personen, die die entsprechende vorbestimmte Abfolge von Lichtsignalen vorbestimmter Länge kennt, die Sendeeinheit aktivieren und damit das Tor öffnen kann.In a preferred embodiment, the transmitter unit is configured such that it is replaced by a predetermined sequence of light signals of predetermined length can be activated. This ensures that only authorized persons who have the appropriate predetermined sequence of light signals knows predetermined length, activate the transmitter unit and thus can open the gate.

In einer weiteren besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, daß die Sendeeinheit eine Code-Einstelleinrichtung aufweist, die erlaubt, daß die Abfolge von Lichtpulsen und die Länge der Lichtpulse für die Aktivierung der Sendeeinheit einstellbar ist. Dadurch ist es möglich, ehemals berechtigten Personen die Berechtigung zum Öffnen und/oder Schließen des Tores zu entziehen. Dadurch muß lediglich mit Hilfe der Code-Einstelleinrichtung die entsprechende Abfolge von Lichtpulsen und die Länge der Lichtpulse für die Aktivierung der Sendeeinheit neu eingestellt werden. Dann wird allen Berechtigten der neue Code mitgeteilt, so daß diese weiterhin das Tor öffnen können.In a further particularly preferred embodiment it is provided that the transmission unit has a code setting device that allows the sequence of light pulses and the length the light pulse for activating the transmitter unit is adjustable. This makes it possible formerly to withdraw authorized persons from the authorization to open and / or close the gate. As a result, the corresponding sequence of light pulses must be used only with the aid of the code setting device and the length of the light pulses for the activation of the transmitter unit can be reset. Then all authorized persons will be informed of the new code so that they can continue to open the gate.

Mit Vorteil weist die Code-Einstelleinrichtung Jumper oder DIL-Schalter auf, die eine leichte Einstellung des Codes erlauben.Advantageously, the code setting device has jumpers or DIL switches that are easy to set allow the code.

In einer besonders zweckmäßigen Ausführungsform besitzt jede Sendeeinheit einen mehrpoligen DIP-Schalter für die Einstellung des Codes. Durch die individuelle Codierung der Sendeeinheit mittels der DIP-Schalter wird eine Fehlbedienung bei mehreren Anlagen ausgeschlossen.In a particularly expedient embodiment, each transmission unit has a multipole DIP switch for setting the code. Through the individual coding of the transmitter unit using the DIP switch prevents incorrect operation in several systems.

In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform werden zudem unterschiedliche Programmversionen erhältlich sein, so daß man die Sendeeinheit derart über Parameter wie Impulszahl (Lichtpuls) und Zeitfenster konfigurieren kann, daß sie durch eine vorbestimmte Abfolge von Lichtsignalen vorbestimmter Länge aktiviert werden kann.In a further preferred embodiment, different program versions are also used be available, so that the transmitter unit can be configured via parameters such as pulse number (light pulse) and can configure time windows to be predetermined by a predetermined sequence of light signals Length can be activated.

Eine besonders zweckmäßige Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung sieht vor, daß die Sendeeinheit eine netzunabhängige Spannungsversorgung, vorzugsweise eine Batterie, aufweist. Dies ermöglicht es, die Sendeeinheit einschließlich des Lichtsensors völlig unabhängig von einem Stromnetz anzuordnen. Das Verlegen von entsprechenden Stromkabeln entfällt. Das erfindungsgemäße System bzw. die erfindungsgemäße Sendeeinheit kann daher auch ohne größere Umbauten leicht nachträglich an bestehende Tore bzw. Toröffnungsanlagen angepaßt werden.A particularly expedient embodiment of the present invention provides that the transmission unit has a mains-independent voltage supply, preferably a battery. This enables the transmitter unit including the light sensor to be completely independent of a power supply to arrange. There is no need to lay corresponding power cables. The invention The system or the transmitter unit according to the invention can therefore easily be made without major modifications can be subsequently adapted to existing gates or gate opening systems.

Bei einer weiteren besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, daß zusätzlich Sendeeinheiten vorgesehen werden, die manuell, das heißt ohne Lichtsignale, betätigt werden können. So ist es beispielsweise möglich, bestimmten Personen, die regelmäßig und auf Dauer Zutritt zu dem abgesperrten Bereich haben sollen, manuell betätigbare Sender auszuhändigen. Personen, die nur vorübergehend Zutritt zu dem abgesperrten Bereich haben sollen, kann dann das sich in regelmäßigen oder zufälligen Abständen ändernde Codesignal mitgeteilt werden, mit dessen Hilfe die Sendeeinheit aktiviert werden kann.In a further particularly preferred embodiment it is provided that additional transmission units can be provided, which can be operated manually, that is, without light signals. So For example, it is possible to give certain people regular and permanent access to the closed area should have to hand over manually operated transmitters. People who only If you want to have temporary access to the cordoned off area, this can happen in regular intervals or randomly changing code signal are communicated, with the help of the transmitting unit can be activated.

For assembly, two sleeves 9 extend through the door panel 1 External thread, with the photodiodes 6 in on one side of the sleeves 9 with the aid of a nut 8 the diode holders 7 are screwed on. The protrudes on the side opposite the photodiodes Sleeve with external thread 9 into the housing 3, the housing 3 also using Nuts on the sleeves 9 is attached.

Es versteht sich, daß bei Bedarf auch mehr als zwei Hülsen vorgesehen werden können. Aufgrund der Verwendung der Befestigungshülsen mit Innengewinde ist eine problemlose Befestigung der Sendeeinheit an Torsektionen mit unterschiedlicher Dicke möglich.It is understood that more than two sleeves can be provided if necessary. by virtue of the use of the fastening sleeves with internal thread is a problem-free fastening of the Sending unit possible on door sections with different thicknesses.

Die Sendeplatine 2 kann nun durch Lichtpulse, die von den Fotodioden 6 erfaßt werden, aktiviert werden. Wird an den Fotodioden 6 die richtige Abfolge von Lichtpulsen erfaßt, so wird die Sendeeinheit aktiviert und sendet ein entsprechendes Öffnungssignal an eine Empfangseinheit (nicht gezeigt), die mit dem Antrieb des Tores verbunden ist, so daß die Öffnung des Tores erfolgen kann.The transmitter board 2 can now be activated by light pulses, which are detected by the photodiodes 6 become. If the correct sequence of light pulses is detected on the photodiodes 6, the transmitter unit activates and sends a corresponding opening signal to a receiving unit (not shown), which is connected to the drive of the gate so that the gate can be opened.

Dadurch, daß die Sendeeinheit direkt am Torblatt 1 befestigt werden kann, kann die erfindungsgemäße Sendeeinheit bzw. das erfindungsgemäße System auch bei bestehenden Türöffnungsanlagen nachgerüstet werden. Die entsprechende Codierung, d.h. die vorbestimmte Abfolge von Lichtpulsen bestimmter Länge, kann mit Hilfe einer Codier-Einstelleinrichtung (nicht dargestellt), die beispielsweise aus Jumpern oder DIL-Schaltern bestehen kann, entsprechend eingestellt bzw. verändert werden. Altemativ kann der Code auch mit Hilfe einer Software eingestellt werden, die zur Veränderung des Codes ausgetauscht werden kann. Die Spannungsversorgung der Sendeeinheit erfolgt vorzugsweise netzunabhängig, so daß keine entsprechendem Stromzuführungskabel verlegt werden müssen.The fact that the transmitter unit can be attached directly to the door leaf 1, the inventive Transmitter unit or the system according to the invention also in existing door opening systems be retrofitted. The corresponding coding, i.e. the predetermined sequence of light pulses certain length, can with the aid of a coding setting device (not shown), for example can consist of jumpers or DIL switches, set or changed accordingly become. Alternatively, the code can also be set with the help of software that is to be changed of the code can be exchanged. The power supply of the transmitter unit takes place preferably independent of the mains, so that no corresponding power supply cables are laid have to.

Mit Vorteil ist die Elektronik der Sendeeinheit in der Lage, zwischen Lichtanstieg, der beispielsweise durch Scheinwerfer verursacht wird, und Lichtabfall, der beispielsweise durch den Schattenwurf von Personen, die bei Sonneneinstrahlung an der Fotozelle vorbeigehen, verursacht werden kann, zu unterscheiden. Ein versehentliches Öffnen des Tores aufgrund von vorbeilaufenden Passanten kann somit vermieden werden.The electronics of the transmitter unit are advantageously able to, for example, between light increase caused by headlights and light decay caused, for example, by the shadow cast by People who walk past the photocell in direct sunlight can be caused differ. Accidental opening of the gate due to passing pedestrians can thus be avoided.

Die bevorzugte Ausführungsform weist zusätzlich zur Funktionskontrolle zwei LEDs auf. Das erste LED zeigt an, ob ein Anstieg der Intensität des auf die Fotodiode 6 einfallenden Lichtes gemessen wird, und die zweite LED leuchtet auf, wenn der Sender aktiviert wird. Gegebenenfalls kann auch eine dritte LED vorgesehen werden, die aufleuchtet, wenn die Intensität nachläßt.The preferred embodiment has two LEDs in addition to the function check. The first LED indicates whether an increase in the intensity of the light incident on the photodiode 6 is measured and the second LED lights up when the transmitter is activated. If necessary, too a third LED can be provided which lights up when the intensity wears off.

Mit Vorteil wird das Sendesignal auf der Frequenz FM 40,685 MHz an die Empfangseinheit übertragen und löst beispielsweise den Auf-Befehl der Torsteuerung aus.The transmission signal is advantageously transmitted to the receiving unit on the frequency FM 40.685 MHz and, for example, triggers the door control open command.

In der gezeigten Ausführungsform bilden das Sendergehäuse und die Fotodioden einschließlich Fotodiodenhalter eine Einheit. Für die Montage wird der Boden des Gehäuses 3, in dem die Senderplatine 2 angeordnet ist, mit zwei Hülsen 9 mit Außengewinde verschraubt. Die anderen Enden der Hülsen 9 werden über die Bohrungen durch das Torblatt 1 gesteckt und mit Hilfe einer Mutter 8 verschraubt. Die Fotodioden 6 können nun von außen in die Hülse 9 eingesetzt werden und innen im Gehäuse 3 an die Senderplatine 2 angeschlossen werden.In the embodiment shown form the transmitter housing and the photodiodes inclusive Photodiode holder one unit. For assembly, the bottom of the housing 3, in which the transmitter board 2 is arranged, screwed to two sleeves 9 with an external thread. The other ends the sleeves 9 are inserted through the holes through the door leaf 1 and with the help of a nut 8 screwed. The photodiodes 6 can now be inserted from the outside into the sleeve 9 and inside in the housing 3 to be connected to the transmitter board 2.

Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform sind die Hülsen 9 im Auslieferungszustand bereits montiert. Optional kann zwischen den zwei Fotodioden des Senders eine dritte Hülse mit Fotodiode montiert werden. Die Sendeplatine hat zusätzlich einen Steckplatz für eine vierte Fotodiode, die bei Bedarf im Torblatt integriert wird (dies kann auch ohne Hülse geschehen). Für die Installation müssen lediglich zwei Bohrungen in das Torblatt eingebracht, der Sender mit den Hülsen aufgesteckt werden und dann mit den Muttern 8 festgezogen werden. Schließlich muß der nutzerspezifische Code eingestellt und am Empfänger eingelernt werden (dazu ist eine Taste zu drücken). Standardmäßig sind in einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform zwei Fotodioden 6 installiert und angeschlossen. Wird eine dritte oder sogar eine vierte Diode 6 benötigt, können diese ohne großen Aufwand in das System integriert werden. Gegebenenfalls kann eine spezielle Optik vorgesehen werden, die das Verhalten bei tiefstehender Sonne verbessert. In a preferred embodiment, the sleeves 9 are already assembled in the delivery state. Optionally, a third sleeve with a photodiode can be mounted between the two photodiodes of the transmitter become. The transmitter board also has a slot for a fourth photodiode, which can be used in the Door leaf is integrated (this can also be done without a sleeve). For the installation you only need two holes are drilled in the door leaf, the transmitter with the sleeves are attached and then be tightened with the nuts 8. Finally, the user-specific code must be set and be taught in at the receiver (to do this, press a key). By default are in one preferred embodiment, two photodiodes 6 installed and connected. Will a third or even requires a fourth diode 6, these can be integrated into the system with little effort become. If necessary, a special optics can be provided, which the behavior at low Sun improves.
