Figure 16: Signal strength light bar during alignment
Red light: Align the sender with the receiver. Select the position so that the red emitted
light beam hits the receiver. Tip: The signal strength light bar on the rear of the sensor
will help to ensure correct alignment. Use white paper or a reflector as an alignment
aid. The sender must have a clear view of the receiver, with no object in the path of the
beam [see
figure
17]. You must ensure that the optical openings (front screen) of the
sensors are completely clear.
Infra red light: Align the sender with the receiver. Select the position so that the infrared
light (not visible) hits the receiver. Use the signal strength light bar on the rear of the
sensor to determine the correct alignment. See
must have a clear view of the receiver, with no object in the path of the beam. You must
ensure that the optical openings (front screen) of the sensors are completely clear.
Optimized alignment can be achieved and verified by using the signal strength light
bar located on the back cover of the sensor. The LEDs on the light bar will illuminate
corresponding to the strength of signal received by the sensor. When no or only red
LEDs are illuminated, the sensor is receiving no or too little signal to switch the output.
The first yellow LED will illuminate at the minimum switching threshold and the green
LEDs will continue to illuminate as the received signal increases [see

Observe the application conditions: Adjust the distance between the sender and the
receiver according to the corresponding diagram [see
operating reserve).
