Continue with the following steps to switch from condition 2 to condition 1:
1. Keep the receiver in a steady position and regulate the emitter until the yellow LED (
SYNC) is OFF. This condition
shows the effective alignment of the first synchronization beam.
2. Rotate the emitter, pivoting on the lower optics axis, until the yellow LED (
LAST) is OFF. Under these conditions,
if no other beam is intercepted Alignment LED (
) should turn GREEN.
3. Delimit the area in which the LED
is steady GREEN through some micro adjustments - for the first and then for
the second unit - then place both units in the centre of this area.
Fix the two units firmly using brackets.
Verify that the green LED on the RX unit is ON (
) and beams are not interrupted, then verify that the red
LED turns ON if even one single beam is interrupted (condition where an object has been detected).
This verification shall be made with the special cylindrical “Test Piece” having a size suitable to the resolution of the
device used.
A daily test is recommended.
