SMINN'S FC330 light barrier is composed by a RX receiver and a TX emitter that can be powered with a 3V6 DC battery.
Devices that are built using high quality materials and components and the latest technology. They are made taking into account the current regulations for usage in residential, commercial and light industry environments.
3 different positions of the lens. 180º horizontal rotation.
Jumper configuration
![]() | ![]() | ||
Feature - Device | Jumper | ON | OFF |
Gain - RX | J1 (RX) | Normal | High |
Frequency - TX | J2 | Fast | Slow |
Resistive Security Edge - TX | J3 (TX) | Not connected | Connected |
NOTE: The fast transmission mode (J2 = ON) halves the battery life. In slow mode (J2 = OFF) batteries can last up to 2 years depending on temperature, humidity and initial charge.

Security Edge connection
Light barrier terminal blocks.
Once the light barrier is correctly installed, the emitter sends a beam of infrared light modulated by pulses to the receiver, setting up a safety barrier. Each time this barrier is blocked, the receiver activates the internal red led and activates the alarm relay. All regulations on security of the installation must be strictly observed.
The FC330 light barrier has been developed for protection in automatic doors, barriers and blinds. Also for access detection in alarm systems and traffic control.
Check the integrity of the product to be installed.
All the safety regulations associated with the installation to be carried out must be strictly observed.
Jumper J1 | ON | Distance < 15 m |
Jumper J1 | OFF | Distance > 15 m (maximum range) |
NOTE: the operating distance can be reduced because of external, adverse conditions such as dust, excess of light, rain, fog, etc.
The emitter is ready to operate with a 2.4 / 2.8Ah 3.6V Lithium battery AA type or with a 12/24V AC/DC power supply applied to terminals 1 and 2.
Jumper J2 | ON | Fast mode |
Jumper J2 | OFF | Slow mode |
It is possible to connect an 8K2 safety edge assembled on the mobile gate leaf to the terminals 4 and 5. The emitter checks the edge continuously, interrupting the infrared beam when pressed and activating the security relay in the receiver. If we do not connect the safety edge, Jumper J3 must be connected. See Fig. 7.
The emitter is equipped with a safety NC input in terminals 2 and 3 that deactivates the transmission of the infrared beam when that contact is opened, putting the transmitter in standby mode. If we do not connect this input, Jumper J1 (TX) must be connected. See Fig. 7.
To verify that the light barrier is operating, interrupt the beam of light and check that the red led and the relay activate in the receiver. Without interrupting the beam and with both emitter and receiver aligned, the led must be off. With the beam interrupted or with the emitter or receiver not aligned, the red led must be on and the relay must activate.
FC330 light barriers do not require any special care, but it is necessary to check their condition from time to time, clean the external casing of dust and dirt making sure it has a nice appearance and operates correctly, contacting a technician if there is any anomaly.
If the light barrier is battery powered, a routine of battery maintenance, checking and replacement every 2 years should be followed to guarantee the system will keep working perfectly.
The Lithium battery (Lithium-thionyl chloride Li-SOCl2) that supplies power to the transmitter is an industrial range (-55ºC / +85ºC) 3V6 AA of 2000 up to 2700 mAh. It is recommended to replace it with a battery of the same kind and quality.
