Installation

When installing the Package Detector Assembly, we recommend you observe
the following guidelines:

Install the Package Detector Switch at an angle to the label to minimize
the light reflecting off the label.

Install the reflector so the Package Detector’s operating range is not
exceeded.

The Package Detector’s beam must be broken before the label is in
position.

The laser beam must not strike the reflector, or you may get inaccurate reads

package detect, the laser will be OFF until the package detector is triggered.
