5.1.2 Factory Settings
Of the 15 available control module ID values (‘A’ through ‘O’), the factory software
setting is A. Selectable communication baud rates are 9600, 19200, and 38400; the
factory setting is 9600. See section 5.3.1 for information on changing these settings.
5.2 System Alignment
The emitter/receiver pairs have a wide field of view and are easy to align. The
recommended distance between the emitter and receiver ranges from 15" to 72".
(Shorter sensor separation can be achieved; please consult factory for details.) The
Alignment process should be performed at System installation and repeated every time
one or both of the sensors is moved. Alignment of the System can be specified
automatically using either the Alignment routine of the configuration software or the
Alignment switch on the control module’s front panel.
The System also may be aligned remotely, using pins 14 and 15 on the terminal block.
Apply 10 to 30V dc power to the pins (see page 14) to approximate the push-button
procedure. (For example, apply input signal for 3 seconds to access Alignment mode.)
Make sure the sensors have been wired as shown in section 3.3. Apply power to the
control module via terminals #1 and #2 (16 to 30V dc). The Diagnostics Indicator will
show the sensors going though a power-up test: first the receiver, then the emitter.
After the sensors have been tested and the System is ready for service, the Diagnostics
Indicator will show ‘—’ or ‘—.’; see Figure 5-4.
5.2.1 Push-button Alignment Routine
At installation or whenever the emitter and/or receiver is moved, the System should be
re-aligned. Press the Alignment switch on the control module front panel for 3
seconds, after which time the letter ‘A’ will appear on the Diagnostics Indicator; the
System is “learning a clear condition.” Rotate the sensors as required (but do not
change the distance between them). When the green Alignment LED is displayed on
the control module and receiver, the sensors are adequately aligned. To leave
Alignment mode, again press the Alignment switch for 3 seconds.
During the alignment procedure, the system polls each receiver channel to measure
excess gain and performs a coarse gain adjustment. When the system exits the
alignment procedure, each channel’s signal strength is stored in non-volatile memory.
The system is now ready for operation and does not require re-alignment unless the
emitter or receiver is moved.
