Installation

Mount and Align the Sensor

The following setup procedure assures reliable detection of clear plastic material:

1. Mount the brackets directly opposite of each other, using #8 (4 mm) bolts.

The brackets permit adjustment in only one plane. Mount the brackets to surfaces that are parallel to each other to within

2° and that are coplanar.

2. Install the emitter.

a) Install the emitter in either bracket using an 18 mm mounting nut and lock washer.

b) Place the lock washer between the bracket and the body of the emitter.

c) Position the body of the emitter either parallel or perpendicular to the length dimension of the plastic part or material to

be detected.

3. Install the receiver.

a) Install the receiver on the other bracket.

b) Tighten the mounting nut (finger tight only).

4. Connect power to both the emitter and receiver (see

Wiring Diagrams).

Red light should be visible emanating from the emitter lens.
