3. ALIGNMENT
The RX / Receiver has a red LED which will illuminate when
power is applied to the RX / Receiver. When aligned with the
TX / Transmitter, the red LED will go OFF and the green LED
will come ON. When beam is broken, the red LED will come
ON and the green LED will go OFF.
A feature to assist in the
optimal alignment allows
for a voltmeter to be
connected to the TP- and
TP+ test points located on
the RX / Receiver. With
voltmeter attached use
alignment chart verify the
optimal alignment.
