CHAPTER 2: Hardware Component Details When wired correctly, green indicators on the IR2R and IR2S are always lit. Only when the door is open and the IR2R is receiving infrared from the sender does the IR2R's amber indicator light. The HAL does not check the IR2 wiring for errors. The IR2R's green indicator flashes when the output is short-circuited. The amber indicator flashes when the signal is marginal, as for a dirty sensor, or if it's too far away. The IR2 will operate with up to 5 feet (1.5 meters) between sensors. NOTE: Distinguishing the IR2R from the IR2S: Both the send and receive IR parts have brown and blue wires, but the receiver also has a black wire. Expansion Units This section provides an overview of available HAL Expansion Units. The original HAL1 has been discontinued and is now a legacy system that includes a FireWire Expansion Bus and supports a single expansion unit type, the EXP1. Halogen version 3.0.0 introduced a new expansion bus, the HAL1x host, and a variety of new Expansion Units that you can connect to the bus. This section explains both the old and the new expansion systems and the available expansion units. WARNING! The two expansion systems are not compatible with each other. You cannot connect a newer expansion unit (for example an EXP1x) to the older HAL1. Conversely, you cannot connect the older EXP1 to the newer HAL1x. The "x" in the HAL1x name indicates interoperability with expansion units that also have an "x" in their name, such as the EXP1x, EXP3x, and EXP5x . 63
