2. General advice
To reduce the risk of electric shock and to ensure that your guarantee remains valid, do not open the equipment when it is in use.
No part of the product may be changed or modified in any way.
The photoelectric beam must only be used within the prescribed temperature and protection class ranges. Using the equipment outside the prescribed ranges results in greater wear and early failure. All required specifications can be found in the technical data.
Avoid greater physical stress of the equipment (knocks, vibrations, etc.). Incorrect handling and bad transport conditions can lead to damage to the equipment.
We want you to work only with products that incorporate state-of-the-art technology. For this reason, we reserve the right to make technical modifications.

6. Installation
6.1 Important notes

natural_image
Four black-and-white illustrations showing different behaviors: a hand washing clothes, a car spraying water, a car crashing with water, and a trash can (no text or symbols)- Remove all obstacles (plants, washing lines and other objects) between the transmitter and the receiver.
- Avoid direct light or sunshine on the transmitter and receiver.
- Avoid installation where dirt and water can fall directly on the transmitter and receiver.
• Install the transmitter and receiver on a stable, vibration-free surface. - Avoid positioning so that the beams reflect on surfaces or objects.
- Reduce the recommended range if there is a high probability of mist or similar unfavourable weather conditions.
6.2 Position of transmitter and receiver
The recommended installation height for transmitter and receiver is between 0.70 m and 1 m. Both components can be adjusted horizontally (+/-90°) and vertically (+/-15°). This permits flexible installation in the most varied physical conditions (see examples A, B and C).

6.4 Wall mounting

Remove the front cover of the transmitter and receiver by undoing the housing screw.
-
Loosen the base-plates by undoing the fixing screw and remove it
-
You now have two ways of fixing the connection cable to the rear side. a.) Guide the connection cable through the cable guide on the base-plate. b.) Guide the connection cable through the cable guide of the detector. To do this, remove the predetermined breaking point from the rear of the detector to guide the connection cable through.

Now break out the opening for the cable guides on the rear of the transmitter and receiver and connect the cables to the correct connectors.
-
Screw the base-plates to the desired installation locations.
-
Screw the transmitter and receiver to the nase-plates.
-
After connecting the cables to the connectors, go to the "Putting into operation" section.
6.5 Pole mounting

- Remove the screwed base-plates of the transmitter and receiver.
- Screw 2 screws M4x20 into the screw-threads of the mounting brackets.
-
Fix the mounting brackets to the masts.
-
Screw the mounting plate with 3 screws M4x10 tightly to the base-plates of the transmitter and receiver.
- Fix the mounting plates to the mounting brackets.
- Repeat steps 3–7 of "Wall mounting".
7. Putting into operation
Before aligning the photoelectric beam, connect the power supply.
You can also connect up the alarm and tamper lines after alignment.
7.1 Rough alignment with laser and LED
Important:
Never look directly into the laser beam! The laser used has a power of <= 5 mW at a wavelength of 650 nm and belongs to Class 3a (classification according to DIN VDI 0837).
- Switch on the laser switch of the transmitter.
- Align the transmitter horizontally and vertically so that the laser beam points to the centre of the receiver. Alignment is optimal when both LEDs of the receiver stop lighting.
- To check: repeat steps 1 and 2 with the laser on the receiver.
The LED on the receiver gives you a first indication of the strength of the received signal.
| Alarm LED (red) and signal LED (yellow) Signal strength | |
| Both LEDs OFF Optimal | |
| One LED ON Adjust | |
| Both LEDs ON Realign | |
7.2 Fine adjustment by voltage measurement

natural_image

- Switch your measuring device to the setting "DC" and select the lowest voltage range (0-10 V DC).
-
Measure the voltage on the receiver and compare the value with the table below.
-
Now adjust the horizontal angle of the receiver by hand until the measuring device shows the highest value.
- Turn the adjusting screw to adjust the vertical angle of the receiver until the measuring device shows the highest value.
- Compare the voltage with the values below.
- After achieving a good alignment quality, do not realign the transmitter or receiver again.
| Voltage level Quality of alignment | |
| 5 V – 3.4 V Optimal | |
| 3.4 V – 1.15 V Good | |
| 1.15 V – 1.0 V Sufficient | |
| < 1.0 V Readjust |
7.3 Adjusting the response time
By turning the potentiometer on the receiver, you can change the response time (default 300 ms) of both light beans until an alarm is detected. If the actual response time is shorter than the set response time, no alarm is triggered.
7.4 Putting into operation
- Now close the transmitter and receiver with the front covers.
- Carry out a walk test. Take the response time you set into consideration.
- If required, readjust the Receiver and repeat the walk test.
8. Troubleshooting
| Fault | Possible | reasons | Remedy |
| Power LED on transmitter (Tx) or receiver (Rx) does not light | Incorrectly connected or no power | Check the voltage supply at the connectors | |
| Alarm LED (Rx) does not light when the photoelectric beam is interrupted | – No power– Tx and Rx incorrectly aligned– The photoelectric beams were not interrupted simultaneously | – Check the voltage supply– Clean the front cover– Check the wiring | |
| Photoelectric beams are boken and the alarm LED (Rx) lights, but no alarm is triggered | – Wrong or missing connection of alarm contacts– Relay defect due to over-voltage | Check the connections of the alarm contacts | |
| Alarm LED (Rx) lights permanently | – Tx and Rx incorrectly aligned– Photoelectric beam is interrupted– Front cover is dirty or covered in ice | – Realign Tx and Rx– Remove all obstacles between Tx and Rx– Clean the front cover |
| False triggering of photoelectric beam by leaves, animals, etc. | – Tx and Rx badly aligned– Response tune set too low– Unfavourable environmental influences at installation location | – Realign Tx and Rx– Change the installation location |
