Introduction

INTRODUCTION
TOWER MAGNUS are the dual technology perimeter
barriers with utmost
reliability and efficacy. In combination with the
appropriate accessories, they can be camouflaged in
a lighting pole that combines aesthetics and
functionality with a reliable safety device. It is
precabled and ready for installation, composed of a
transmitting and a receiving unit. The transmitter
emits a codified sequence of infrared beams and high
frequency electromagnetic waves directed to the
respective receiver. The microwave device uses
planar antennas of new generation and military
derivation with reduced size owing to the absence of
the cumbersome antenna dish.
TOWER MAGNUS are also indicated for harsher
environments and weather situations (low
temperatures, fog, humidity, wind gusts) thanks to
the built-in automatic temperature control device
and the disqualification system and sturdy aluminium
structure
WARNINGS
•Use shielded cables.
•Observe the minimum distances between the
Tx and Rx barriers (see table on page 15).
•In areas subject to intense fog, for
distances longer than 80 m, it is advisable
to break the tract.
•Power the device using the 13.8 Vdc
stabilised voltage only.
•It is mandatory to switch on the
temperature control system for both
internal and external installations (24Vac).
•The installation should be performed by
qualified personnel.
MITECH is not responsible for damages
and / or barrier malfunctions
caused by incorrect installation
and / or improper use.

After installing the barrier, make sure that it is perfectly closed with the watertight
covers supplied.
Make sure that the path between the sensors is free and that there are no obstacles
that could affect the communication between the optical groups of the transmitters and
receivers (i.e. branches, plants, leaves, etc. that could interfere with the beams).
Verify that the optics of the transmitter and receiver units are not exposed to direct
sunlight at dawn and sunset.
Do not use switching power supplies that might cause electrical disturbances .
