step 3 commissioning
Commissioning the ZetaBeam is a simple procedure outlined in the following step by step explanation.
stage one, language and commissioning speed
1.
Important
. Do
NOT
put the reflector up or
COVER
it if already in place.
You cannot
commission the beam if the reflector can be seen
2. Power up the unit and you will see
the screen will default to
3. Access the menu by pressing
enter
4. The first screen you see
is if you need to change this use the
right
and
left
hand keys to scroll through languages, when you have found your language press
enter
or if you are
happy with English press the
down
key to continue. If you have changed the language the system will
continue in your chosen language.
5. Press
enter
and you will now see the
commissioning speed
screen. In most cases it is recommended
to use fast mode (in normal mode the system uses 3.5mA, in fast mode it uses 17mA) - if you are
commissioning more than one beam at a time and the system cannot support the extra draw it may
be necessary to use normal mode to prevent excessive current draw. Fast mode allows x4 times
faster motor response and it may be quicker to commission each beam in turn. Once commissioning is
complete the ZetaBeam will automatically revert to normal low power mode - (3.5mA).
6. Use the
left
and
right
keys to toggle between fast and normal, the
*
indicates which mode is
selected. Press the
enter
key to continue.
stage two, pre-alignment
7. The next screen is
this is probably the most important part of setting up your
beam. Pre-alignment sets up the amount of power you need for the distance you are covering and
can indicate if you are receiving unwanted reflections from anything else in the beam path.
8. Press
enter
to begin
pre-alignment
. Remember
no reflector.
You will see the screen below. Take a
moment to understand what the figures on the screen mean.
