Commissioning
Place a piece of white paper or reflective film 100 mm x 100 mm
with hole (sensor cross-section) centrally on the receiver.
Align the sender with the receiver until the reflected light on the
reflector is at the maximum intensity.
Ensure that the yellow LED on the receiver is illuminated, or correct
the receiver as appropriate.
To check the intensity, partially cover the sender and/or receiver
lens. The intensity of the light beam received is adequate when the
LED on the receiver only starts to flash when at least half the area
of the lens is covered.
Fix the sensors in this position.
Proceed in the same way with the other sensors.
Connect pin 4 on the first sender (black wire) or the related wire
(pin 13) to the safety evaluation device UE 401.
How to align the sender and receiver using the laser alignment
aid AR 60:
With large scanning ranges or on the usage of deflector mirrors, the
laser alignment aid AR 60 significantly simplifies alignment.
Screw the adapter onto the AR 60.
Mount the AR 60 in front of the sender (screw on)
Switch on AR 60
Attach a piece of white cardboard or cardboard with Scotchlite (re-
flective tape) to the receiver (in this way the beam array is easier to
see)
Align sender such that the laser beam array is incident on the mid-
dle of the receiver optics
Fix sender in this position
Switch off AR 60
Remove AR 60
Switch on sensors
