Installation
The Collision Avoidance System measures the distance between the laser unit's lens and the target
surface. There must be no projections on the wall or the overhead crane that may extend in front of either
(or both) the laser unit or the companion target.
Make sure the laser is mounted such that nothing can come between the laser's view of the target.
Determine the mounting position for the laser and the target such that the center of the laser's faceplate
and the center of the target are the same distance above the plane the crane rails are in. The laser and
target center point should also be the same distance from the rails. This is the most important part of a
successful installation since the laser beam must stay on the target at all range points anywhere in the
bay. Refer to Figure 4 for mounting information.
