Blocking off Beams
Blocking off of beams is used to narrow the angle of view or to block
moving objects such as palm fronds, to prevent false alarms.
Blocking off of a beam is done by first, sliding down the fastener ring
and removing the UV stable lens.
Now using black insulation tape block off the area on the main lens that
needs blocking.
Use ‘walk-test’ mode to confirm you have blocked off the area required.
Replace the outer lens.
Maintenance
Roboguards require basic maintenance in order to keep the system
performing optimally.
You should regularly inspect the guard and remove any signs of
infestation (spiders, ants etc). Ants are particularly destructive.
Check the field of view of the guards for encroaching vegetation.
Once a year the guard’s lenses should be cleaned.
Dust off all insects. Wipe with a dry cloth. Clean the outer and inner
Fresnel lenses with warm soapy water.
Clean the pyro- electric cell with a cotton bud. Be careful, do not touch
it with your fingers.
If you live at the coast, the top and bottom computer boards (inside
the sensor boxes) should be cleaned with thinners and resprayed with
Tectyl every 3 years.
It is also advisable to apply silicon sealer around the connector plug on
the top and bottom sensor boxes, to improve moisture resistance.
