1. Description

Avoid direct exposure to strong lights, such as sunlight and headlights.Avoid light in a direct path of 0~4° of optical axis.

2. Cautions on Installation

Do not install the unit on unsteady surfaces.

Do not install in a site where beam may be interrupted by trees or plants; consider seasonal changes.

Do not install in placeswhere units may be splashed frequently by dirty water or direct sea spray. (Causes dirt or salt build up on enclosures.)

6. Optical Alignment

Read voltage from monitor jack with a digital voltmeter to confirm optical alignment and to obtain the highest reliability.1. Supply power with cover detached.2. Set Transmitter lens to Receiver lens by using the view finder.

Look through view finder on either side and line up optics horizontally andvertically until the opposite unit is visible. Using the adjustment, the lenscan move horizontally (0~180°) and vertically (0~14°) allowing the unit to workin all directions. The opposite Transmitter or Receiver should appear onthe view finder of inside middle mirror.

3. Adjust the Transmitter horizontally and vertically to get highest voltage reading.Adjust the Receiver horizontally and vertically to get highest voltage reading.

4. Confirm the beam level by inserting a testerin monitor jack of receiver.

- Remove cover from unit and slide the mounting plate to detach it.

- Break grommet on mounting plateand pull wire through it. Securethe plate with 4mm screws.

- With your wire exposed, break knock-outs on the rear of unit, pull wire through as shown in the figurebelow and attach it to the mounting plate.

- After wiring is complete,adjust alignment, check operation and attach cover.

SymptomPower LED does notlight

Alarm LED does not light when the beam is broken.

Alarm LED continues tolight

Intermittent alarms.

Possible Cause1. No power supply.2. Bad wiring connection, broken wire or

short.1. No power supply.2. Bad wiring connection, broken wire or

short.3. Beam is reflected on another object

and sent into the receiver.4. Two beams aren’t broken

simultaneously1. Beam alignment is out.2. Shading object between Tx. and Rx.3. Optics of units are soiled.4. Improper channel.1. Bad wiring connection.2. Change of supply voltage.3. Shading object between Tx. and Rx.4. A large electric noise source, such as

power machine, is located nearby Tx.and Rx.

5. Unstable installation of Transmitterand Receiver.

6. Soiled optics of Tx. and Rx.7. Improper alignment.8. Small animals may pass through the 2

beams

Remedy1. Turn on the power.2. Check wiring.

1. Turn on the power.2. Check wiring.

3. Remove the reflecting object orchange beam direction.

4. Break 2 beams simultaneously.

1. Check and adjust again.2. Remove the shading object.3. Clean the optics with a soft cloth.4. Check channel.1. Check again.2. Stabilize supply voltage.3. Remove the shading object.4. Change the place for installation.

5. Stabilize.

6. Clean the optics with a soft cloth 7. Check and adjust again.8.Set the response time longer.

7. Terminal assignment

After installation, test operation by walk testing.
