Instruction Manual

Installation and Alignment

4. Optical Alignment
CAUTION: Ensure that no individuals are exposed to any

hazard if the OSSD outputs turn ON when the

emitter and receiver become aligned.

Verify sensor mounting per Section 3.2.
Verify Optimal Alignment
(Rotate with power ON)
a. Ensure the emitter and receiver are pointed squarely

at each other. A straight edge (e.g., a level) can determine

the direction the sensor is facing (see Figure 3-14). The

sensor face must be perpendicular to the optical axis.

NOTE: At power-up, the EZ-SCREEN LP tests all indicators

(they flash), then displays the Scan Code.

b. If Channel #1 beam is not aligned, the receiver Status

and Zone 1 indicators are Red, the Reset indicator is

Yellow, and the 7-segment display sequentially indicates

“CH1”. Zone indicators 2-8 will be OFF.

c. If the Green Status and Yellow Reset indicators are ON,

go to step “d”. If not, rotate each sensor (one at a time)

left and right until the Status indicator comes ON Green.

(As the sensor rotates out of alignment, the Status indicator

will turn ON Red.) As more beams are made, the Zone

indicators will turn from Red to Green and the number of

blocked beams displayed will decrease.

NOTE: If the emitter Test input is open, the 7-segment

Display will indicate the total number of beams in

the system (minus one) and all Zone indicators will

be Red (except for 14-beam systems, where Zone 1

indicator will be Green).

d. To optimize alignment and maximize excess gain,

slightly loosen the sensor mounting screws and rotate

one sensor left and right, noting the positions in each arc

where the Status indicators turn Red (Blocked condition);

repeat with the other sensor (see Figure 3-14). Center

each sensor between those two positions and tighten the

mounting screws, making sure to maintain the positioning

as the screws are tightened.

For situations where alignment is difficult, a LAT-1-LP

Laser Alignment Tool can be used to assist or confirm

alignment by providing a visible red dot along the sensor’s

optical axis (see Figure 3-16).

e. If, at any time, a Status indicator begins to flash Red, that

sensor has entered a Lockout condition. See Section 5.1.1

for further information.
