The Pana40 Plus-3D safety system has two independent detection systems (see Fig 1)
• Light Curtain – infra-red beams operating directly between the doors.
• “3D” Detection – infra-red proximity detection operating in the landing zone.

DETECTOR PROFILES (770 Series)
There are three different Pana40 Plus-3D detector profiles – Standard, Slimline and
Ultraslim. These come with appropriate fixing kits to fit the detectors in one of five types
of installation. Please specify the required installation type using the Part Numbers shown.

Standard: Part No 770 000

The Standard detectors are designed to
fit on the side of the door flush with the
door edge. They are fixed using self-
tapping screws, through height-adjustable
brackets and covered by a vandal-resistant
finger guard (see Fig 2). These detectors
are particularly suitable for centre-opening
doors with a wide running clearance where
the detector also doubles as a sightguard.
The cable may be routed from the top of
the detector or down inside the housing
and out the middle of the back. The cable Fig 2
can be secured with the P-clips provided.

Leading Edge: Part No 770 010

The Leading Edge detectors are designed
to fit on the leading edge of the door or on
the slampost. These detectors are particularly
suitable for side-opening doors, but can
be used on centre-opening doors. The
door or slampost is drilled in four places
and the detectors fitted by means of cap
tive bolts, sliding in a track on the back of
the detectors. Alternatively the detectors
may be secured through the detector
housing on the door edge, using the
Fig 3
screws provided (see Fig 3). Fixings for
both methods are included in the fixing
kit.

Mixed Set (Standard and Leading

Edge): Part No. 770 020
The Mixed Set is convenient for side-opening
doors where it is desirable to have a
Standard TX detector on the door and a
Leading Edge RX detector on the
slampost (see Fig 4). If the door opens in
the opposite direction it will be necessary
to swap the plastic lenses so that the TX
is kept on the left-hand side.
Fig 4
Slimline: Part No. 771 000
The Slimline detectors are only 15.5mm
wide and designed to fit on the side of
close-coupled doors. The detectors are
mounted to the side of the car doors using
the self-tapping screws provided in the fixing
kit. Optional PVC finger guards (Part Nos.
007 137 and 007 138) are available to fill
the 30mm gap found on some door types
(see Fig 5).

Fig 5
Ultraslim: Part No 774 000
The Ultraslim detectors are only 9.8mm
wide which allows them to be fitted to
virtually all lifts. They are particularly
suited to lifts with narrow running clearances.
The detectors are mounted to the side of
the car doors using self-tapping screws
provided in the fixing kit (see Fig 6).
