Fine adjustment with monitor jack
· After checking the receiving level of optical axis by using the alarm indicator, make sure to make fine alignment for both transmitter and receiver with voltmeter until it reaches maximum monitor output over “Good” level.

Note>> · When making the adjustments by the monitor jack, be careful not to cover the optical unit with your hand, the voltmeter pin cord, etc.

< Receiver >

Set the voltmeter range to 5 to 10VDC and connect the voltmeter probes and to and of the monitor jack respectively.

< Horizontal alignment > < Vertical alignment >

Turn the horizontal alignment dial by fingers to make alignment

Turn the vertical alignment dial with a screwdriver to make alignment

Caution
· The Alignment / Level indicator LED is a supporting tool for easy alignment. Be sure to perform fine alignment to ensure the maximum output level through the monitor jack.
· The Alignment / Level indicator LED should only be used for rough alignment. For fine or good alignment, always use the monitor jack output level.
Attention
· Le témoin de l’alarme/de niveau est un outil d’aide pour faciliter l’alignement. Assurez-vous de réaliser réglage précis pour obtenir le niveau maximum de sortie du point de test.

4-2 OPERATION CHECK

After installation is complete, be sure to check the operation.

1

Make sure that the Alignment / Level indicator LED is OFF. If it is illuminated even when the beams are not blocked,

make optical alignment again.

2 Check that the Power / Low battery indicator LEDs on both
transmitter and receiver are ON. If the Power / Low battery indicator LED is blinking, the battery power is low. Replace with new batteries.

3 Conduct a walk test to check that Alignment / Level indicator
LED on the receiver turns ON as the walker interrupts the beams.

Receiver

B

Be sure to conduct a walk test at the following three points: A. In front of the transmitter B. In front of the receiver C. At the mid point between the transmitter and receiver

The detector is installed properly when Alignment / Level indicator LED turns solid ON in the tests at all the three points.

5 TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM
Power / Low battery indicator LEDs are not illuminated. (Receiver)
Power / Low battery indicator LEDs are not illuminated. (Transmitter) Output is not sent.
When the beam is blocked, the “OUTPUT” indicator LED is illuminated but the Output is not activated. Output is activated even if the light is not blocked.
Batteries are running out too quickly. Frost, snow or heavy rain causes activation.
Improper output Even if new batteries are used, Low battery indicator LED is ON.

POSSIBLE CAUSE
Power may not be supplied. The supply voltage may not be correct. The power supply polarity is wrong. Reversed battery polarity.
Reflection from the floor or wall. Beam has not been blocked. Signal line short-circuited.
Surface of Transmitter/Receiver cover soiled. Optical alignment was not performed properly. Main unit cover is not set properly. Optical alignment not optimized. Too much snow or frost accretion. Problem with wiring. Batteries are inactive condition.

CORRECTIVE ACTION
Connect power supply of 12-24VDC. Check Power supply voltage 12-24VDC. Check power supply polarity. Check the battery polarity.
Align beams away from the floor or wall. Block all two beams. Check the wiring.
Clean the cover (wipe the cover with a soft cloth dampened with water or diluted neutral detergent). See “3-2 OPTICAL ALIGNMENT” on page 5 and make realignment. Set the cover properly. See “3-2 OPTICAL ALIGNMENT” on page 5 and make realignment. Remove snow or frost on the cover. Install the correct wiring. Clean up the battery terminal if it is covered with an oxide film or soil.
