You have wired and loosely mounted your Shadow transmitter and receiver as directed in the
section "Loosely mounting Shadow VI transmitter and receiver". Now you need to test and
align them. Once that is done you can tighten them using the appropriate adjustment method
to keep them in alignment (such as rotating the universal mounts discussed at the beginning
of this chapter).
If you suspect a problem with Shadow, verify that the heads are properly aligned. If there is
still a problem, be sure to perform the diagnostic tests at the end of this chapter.
Alignment Procedure
If you have read the material in this chapter, you already know a lot about alignment. If the
Shadow light curtains are out of alignment, one or more light beams from the transmitter are
not being detected by the receiver. Shadow will react as if a part of the light curtain is
blocked. Its relays will be open and stay open, and your press will not operate.
Proper alignment means each beam of light from the transmitter is detected by the
appropriate phototransistor in the receiver. As long as you installed your brackets level and
in the same plane (as described in Step 2), alignment will be very easy. Here is how to align
your Shadow light curtains.
1. Make sure you have the Shadow light curtains mounted so the lenses are pointed at each
another.
2. Turn on power to the Shadow light curtains. Do not start the press. You do not need to
operate the press for this procedure.
3. Check the amber power light near the top of the transmitter cover. It should be on. If not
re-check wiring. If you cannot find the problem, contact Wintriss Tech Support.
4. Make sure the light curtain is unobstructed. Then check the lights on the receiver. A
green light means the Shadow light curtains are in alignment. A red light means they are
not aligned.
5. Whether the light is green or red, experiment a little to get a feel for how precisely
aligned you have to be. Your Shadow light curtains should be only loosely mounted.
Tighten one unit so it will not move. Using the Shadow universal mounts mentioned at
the beginning of this chapter, swivel the other one a little to see what happens. Move it a
little vertically as far as the brackets will allow. Watch the lights. Note when the Shadow
light curtains are aligned (green light on receiver on) and when they are not (red light
on).
6. Now that you have a feel for what it takes to properly align the units, get them back in
line.
7. Keep the units in alignment using the Shadow universal mounts or another method you
designed. Tighten down the transmitter to take up slack, then work on the receiver. If the
units go out of alignment, make adjustments, then start tightening again. When
everything is right, tighten down each unit firmly.
8. Check the lights on the receiver again. The light must be green. If not, make sure the
light beam is not obstructed. If the light is not green, you will have to loosen your
mounting bolts, re-align, then re-tighten.
