NOTE: If at any time the red Status indicator begins to flash, the System has entered a Lockout condition.
See "Troubleshooting" on page 85 for more information.
EZ-SCREEN SLS sensors may be used with one or more corner mirrors for guarding more than one side of an area. The
MSM-... and SSM-... rear-surface glass mirrors are rated at 85% efficiency. Thus, excess gain and sensing range are re-
duced when using mirrors; see
" Use of Corner Mirrors " on page 29 .
During any adjustments, allow only one individual to adjust any one item at any one time. In addition to the standard optical
alignment procedure, verify:
NOTE: An LAT-1 Laser Alignment Tool is very helpful by providing a visible red dot along the optical axis.
See " Alignment Aids " on page 101 , "Optical alignment using the LAT-1" on page 38 , and Banner Safety
Applications Note SA104 (p/n 57477 ) for more information.

Component 3 (Mirror)
Component 4 (Receiver)
Component 1 (Emitter)
To optimize the alignment, note the position where the red Status indicator turns on when the sensor is rotated
both left and right. Center the sensor between the two positions, and tighten the end cap mounting screws,
making sure the positioning does not drift as the screws are tightened. Repeat for the second sensor.
For situations where alignment is difficult, use a LAT-1-SS Laser Alignment Tool to assist or confirm alignment
by providing a visible red dot along the sensor’s optical axis.

Optical Alignment Procedure with Mirrors
5.8.4
The emitter, receiver, and all mirrors are level and plumb.
1.
The middle of the defined area and the center point of the mirrors are approximately the same distance from a com-
mon reference point, such as the same height above a level floor.
2.
There are equal amounts of mirror surface above and below the defined area such that the optical beams are not
passing below or above the mirror.
