8.4 - Beam Break Sensor Set Up (Alignment)
8.4.1. - N.B. No channels are default set to accept a Beam break, therefore
the channel used will require configuring to this mode
(see advanced set up).
8.4.2. - The beam break sensor must be aligned with
the Retroflector before the adjustable saddle mount
is tightened and the lid (if in a case) fitted. Use
channel test mode (see para 8.1 above) to help with
alignment. When the channel is in test mode the
internal and external beepers of the control box will
sound when the beam is
not aligned, in turn the
beepers fall silent when the beam is aligned.
8.4.3. - When aligning the sensor it is easiest to
adjust the sensor to point in the correct direction
then move the Retroflector around to find the centre of
the detection area. By mounting the reflector in the centre of
the
beam the probability of false alarms is minimized.
8.4.4. - If in a case before screwing the front of the sensor case on, tighten
the sensor mounting bracket and (to prevent condensation on the
inside of the enclosure)
place the silica gel bag in the bottom of the
sensor housing .
8.5 – General Sensor Checks
8.5.1. - Check all individual sensors are triggering the unit to ensure correct
installation and configuration.
