•   Complete any wiring dressing to minimize movement to the 

detector once the alignment procedure is completed.

•   Insure  that  the  appropriate  number  of  reflectors  are 

used  for  the  installed  distance.  Distances  between  230 
&  328  Feet  (70  -  100m)  require  additional  reflectors  (4 
total).  The  BEAMLRK  accessory  should  be  used  in  these 
cases.

•   Insure  that  the  line  of  sight  between  the  detector  and 

reflector  is  clear  and  that  reflective  objects  are  not  too 
near. See mounting Instructions for more details.

•   Insure  that  both  the  detector  and  reflector  are  mounted 

within  their  operational  parameters  for  off  axis  angles. 
See Mounting Instructions for more details.

•   Disable  the  zone  or  system  to  prevent  unwanted  alarms 

before applying power.

•  Insure power to the detector is “ON”.

You are now ready to begin the alignment procedure.

Step 1. Coarse Alignment

Refer to Figures 11 and 12 for this step.

1.   Insure  that  both  of  the  optics  lock-down  screws  are  loos-

ened so that the optics will move feely. 

2.   Looking  through  the  alignment  mirror  at  both  the  align-

ment  sight  and  reflector  simultaneously  locate  the  posi-
tion  of  the  reflector  in  the  optical  sight.  This  step  will 
require  some  practice.  It  is  necessary  to  train  your  eyes 
to  shift  focus  between  the  reflector  and  the  mirror  in 
order  to  locate  the  reflector.  If  the  distance  between  the 
reflector  and  the  detector  is  large  it  is  helpful  to  place  a 
brightly  colored  object  on  the  wall  near  the  reflector  to 
aide in seeing the reflector in the alignment mirror.

3.   Once the reflector has been located, begin to adjust both 

the  horizontal  and  vertical  alignment  knobs  so  that  the 
reflector  becomes  centered  in  the  alignment  mirror. Take 
care  in  this  step.  If  the  optics  are  incorrectly  aligned  in 
this  step,  it  will  not  be  possible  to  proceed  with  the  fine 
adjustment step.

Step 2. Fine Adjustment

Refer to figures 10 through 12 for this step.

In  this  step  you  will  be  fine-tuning  the  optics  to  the  reflec-
tor. To  provide  feedback  of  the  signal  level  coming  from  the 
reflector  the  dual  digital  display  readout  will  be  used.  Due 
to  the  large  distance  range  that  the  detector  can  operate 
over it is necessary that the detector operate with many dif-
ferent  settings  of  “electronic  amplifier  gain”.  The  detector 
is  capable  of  determining  the  appropriate  gain  setting  and 
then  setting  it  itself  via  on-board  processing  algorithms. 
There  are  no  external  gain  settings  on  the  detector  that 
must  be  set  by  the  operator.  Periodically  throughout  the 
fine  adjustment  step  the  detector  will  need  to  re-adjust  its 

“electronic  amplifier  gain”  setting.  When  this  occurs  it  will 
be  indicated  by  the  dual  digital  readout  as “-  -”.  When  this 
occurs,  cease  any  further  adjustment  until  the  display  again 
reads a number value. 

1.   Insure  that  neither  you  nor  any  other  objects  are  in  the 

line of sight between the detector and the reflector. 

2.   Depress  the  Alignment  switch  once.  Both  the  digital  dis-

play  and  the  yellow  LED  should  turn  on  indicating  that 
alignment  mode  has  been  entered.  The  display  should 
begin  reading  “-  -”  signifying  an  electronic  gain  adjust-
ment.  After  a  few  moments  the  display  will  indicate  a 
numeric  value  near  20.  If  the  display  reads  “Lo”  then 
the detector is not receiving enough light from the reflec-
tor.  Go  back  and  repeat  the  coarse  alignment  step  and 
verify that the proper number of reflectors is used for the 
installed distance.

Note:  The  display  will  continue  to  read  “Lo”  until  the 

detector  receives  enough  light  from  the  reflector  to 
continue with the fine adjustment step.

Note:  In  alignment  mode  (indicated  by  the  yellow  LED 

and  the  numeric  display)  the  sensitivity  select  and 
test switches are disabled.

3.   With  the  display  reading  a  numeric  value,  begin  adjust-

ing  the  horizontal  and  vertical  alignment  knobs  one  at 
a  time  in  the  direction  that  increases  the  numeric  signal 
level  on  the  display.  Continue  adjusting  each  axis  one 
at  a  time  going  back  and  forth  between  them  until  a 
peak  value  is  indicated.  If  a  value  of  90  is  achieved,  the 
detector  will  re-adjust  the  electronic  gain  once  again. 
This  will  be  indicated  by  a  “-  -”  reading  on  the  display. 
When  this  happens  halt  any  further  adjustment  until  the 
display  again  reads  a  numeric  value.  This  process  may 
occur more than once during the fine adjustment step.

Note:  Each  time  the  display  reads  a  value  of  90  or  greater 

the  detector  will  reduce  the  electronic  gain.  Each 
time  the  display  reads  a  value  of  10  or  less  the 
detector will increase the electronic gain.

4.   Once  satisfied  that  it  is  not  possible  to  achieve  a  higher 

reading  on  the  display,  depress  the  alignment  switch  to 
complete  the  fine  adjustment  step.  The  digital  display 
readout  will  turn  “OFF”  and  the  yellow  LED  will  remain 
“ON”.

Note:  It  may  not  be  possible  to  achieve  a  value  near  90  on 

the  display  during  the  last  adjustment  iteration.  The 
final  value  of  the  display  will  not  likely  be  near  90. 
This  is  normal.  It  is  due  to  the  detector  reducing  its
