you feel resistance as they can take the louvers “off track”. Figure 9 shows the typical
relationship between the aiming screw orientation and the resultant detection pattern.
To set your pattern laterally, experiment with the aiming screws as is shown in Figure 9. Each
time you alter the aiming screw setting, you will have to rotate the barrel assembly up and
down. Test the pattern by moving in it and observing the limits of detection by watching the
LED. When you are satisfied with the aiming screw settings, you must also finalize the degree of
barrel assembly rotation. You don’t want the unit “seeing” the surface of the door itself as this
can lead to false detection, so in the common case where the unit mounts in the same plane as
the door, you do not want the barrel assembly adjusted at full 90 degrees. It should face
slightly away from the door.
When you are entirely satisfied, be sure to tighten the barrel locking screw and restore the time
set jumper to the four second position (if necessary). Then replace the cover.
