3 Operation of the parabolic sensor
Risk of injury to eyes
The target laser (laser class 2) can cause serious eye damage. Never look
into the laser beam. Never direct the laser at other people or vehicles.
Please note that reflected laser light can cause eye injuries in the event of
prolonged use.
In the very rare event that the parabolic reflector breaks, there may be
sharp edges that can cause cutting injuries. When using the sensor, make
sure not to damage the parabolic reflector.
Note!
The material of the parabolic reflector may be damaged by scratches.
These do not have any impact of the functionality of the sensor. Scratches
can be avoided by careful handling of the sensor.
3.1 Assembling and disassembling the parabolic reflector
To assemble the parabolic reflector:
1. Hold the sensor handle with one hand, and the parabolic reflector onto the parabolic reflector
holder with the other hand, so that the reflector is pointing in the sensor's testing direction.
2. Guide the parabolic reflector holder into the insertion position on the sensor from above, and
slide the holder towards the handle and red/green dot sight using light pressure before fixing
it in place so that is always in the same position on the sensor for the location of damage
areas.
3. Rotate the locking screw to attach the holder.

The sensor is ready to operate.
To disassemble the parabolic reflector:
1. Hold the sensor handle with one hand, and use the other hand to undo the locking screw on
the parabolic reflector holder.
2. Take hold of the parabolic reflector holder from above, and carefully pull it out of the insertion
position on the sensor.
