Aligning the cells visually
1. Slightly unscrew the module’s adjustable
support.
2. Position your eye at an oblique angle about
5 cm from the module as shown in the
diagram to the right.
3. Look in the mirror inside the module to see
the image of the module opposite through
the hole in the side of the cell.
4 – Horizontal alignment: Rotate the
adjustable support by up to 90°
– Vertical alignment
(SB2100/SB4100/SB4200): Turn the
thumbscrew by up to 10°
– Vertical alignment (SB250 and SB450):
Rotate the beam cell.
5. Once the optimal alignment has been
achieved, tighten the screw of the adjustable
support to lock horizontal rotation.
Optimising the reception
Power up the detector, making sure that the green LED on the transmitter and the red LED
on the receiver light up. Depending on the detector type, proceed as follows:
50 m
100 m
150 m
200 m
SW1
SW2
SB51**
SB4200*
SW1 & SW2 = OFF
Operational
OFF OFF
SB4100*
Align lower beam
ON OFF
Align upper beam
OFF ON
SB450*
Not permitted
ON ON
SB2100***
SB250***
SW1 & SW2 = OFF
* For distances less than 150 m, first select the beam cell to align by setting DIP switch 1
to ON for the lower beam cell and then DIP switch 2 to ON for the upper beam cell on both
the transmitting and receiving modules.
** For distances greater than 150 m, we strongly recommend the use of the alignment
controller (SB51). Leave the DIP switches in the OFF position.
*** Leave the DIP switches in the OFF position.
