2 Installation Instructions
2.1 Sensor Orientation
Correct sensor-to-object orientation is important to ensure proper sensing.
Minimize the tilt angle of a target relative to the sensor. The target should be tilted less than half of the beam angle.

2.2 Mount the Device Using the Threaded Barrel
1. If your device came with a lock washer, place the lock washer on the barrel of the device.
2. Insert the barrel of the device though a hole or a bracket.
•
If desired and available, insert the device through an appropriately sized hole in the machine or equipment at the
desired location.
•
If a bracket is needed, insert the device into the bracket.
3. Thread the mounting nut onto the barrel of the device, finger tight.
4. If using a bracket, mount the device and the bracket to the machine or equipment at the desired location. Do not
tighten the mounting screws at this time.
5. Check the device alignment, aiming it near parallel to, or down towards, the ground.
If aiming at a target, alignment and signal strength can be checked via the red Signal Strength LED or the Banner
Radar Configuration Software.
6. Tighten the nut.
7. If using a bracket, tighten the mounting screws to secure the device and the bracket in the aligned position.
