Troubleshooting

Symptom

Possible Cause

Remedy

Transmitter LED does not light. Receiver LED does not light.

Improper voltage supplied.

Check the power supply and wiring.

Alarm LED does not light, even when beams are blocked.

1. Beams reflect to the receiver by other objects.
2. Both beams are not blocked simultaneously.

1. Remove the reflecting object or change optical axis direction.
2. Block both beams.

3. Beam block time is too short.

When the beams are blocked, the 1. Wiring is short circuited.

receiver LED light is ON, but not

alarm.

2. Wiring connection is not good.

1. Optical axis is not properly adjusted.

3. Increase beam block time. Check wiring and connection spot. 1. Adjust the optical axis.

The alarm indication lamp of receiver is always on.
Intermittent Alarm

2. There are obstructions between the transmitter and the receiver.
3. The outer covers are dirty.
1. Bad wiring. 2. Fluctuating power supply/ voltage. 3. Intermittent blockage between the
transmitter and the receiver. 4. The receiver or transmitter is unstable. 5. Blocked by other moving objects.

2. Remove the obstructions. 3. Clean with window cleaner and a soft
cloth. 1. Check wiring. 2. Check the power supply. 3. Remove the obstruction or relocate. 4. Fix the mounting. 5. Adjust the optical axis. 6. Adjust interruption time or change
