SAFETY SENSOR CALIBRATION
While the safety sensors shouldn’t need calibration during normal operation, moving the cabinet or
replacing some hardware (sensors, reflectors) may mean the sensors require recalibration. In the
event of a recalibration, please ensure the steps below are followed closely, as incorrectly calibrated
safety sensors will result in a negative gameplay experience.
CLEAN
For the safety sensors to operate reliably, the sensor windows and reflectors need to be clean. Even
if reflectors look clean on inspection, we strongly recommend you wipe them down with a damp
cloth and check if the problem persists.
CHECK
Safety sensors have a single trimpot for setting the ready distance.
To check if the sensor is working correctly and properly aligned, check a
few things such as:
•
Lamp Indicator on the sensor is on solid red (image below on the
left). It means that the sensor is powered up and not blocked (it
can see the reflector OK).
•
Block the sensor all the way through from the safety sensor
transmitter down to the reflector and check the lamp indicator. It
should go to solid green (image below on the right)
– indicating
that something is blocking the area between Safety Sensor
Transmitter and the reflector.
CALIBRATE
1. Use a small screwdriver and rotate the adjustment pot clockwise until at maximum position.
Ensure the LED is Red.
TEST
•
Try to block the sensor in all positions from the sensor through to the reflector. Ensure the
lamp turns green for each clock attempt at each position.
