Banner LAT-1 Series User manual

Visible Laser Device for Aligning Light Screen and Grid Systems
• Self-contained visible-beam laser tool simplifies the alignment of any opposed-
mode sensor pair, especially in applications that include long distances or corner
mirrors
• Reduces the time required to align light screen systems and corner mirrors; elim-
inates much trial-and-error guesswork when working with infrared beams
• Uses one common 9-volt battery (included)
• Built-in circular bubble level
• One 4" x 4" square of high-grade retroreflective target material included for easy
viewing of the laser spot at long distances
• Mounting clip (available separately or as part of a kit; see below) snaps squarely
onto the housings of Banner safety light screen/grid emitters and receivers

CAUTION: Laser Light Can Damage Your Eyes
• View only the diffuse image of the laser beam where it
strikes the alignment target.
• Always view the laser image from behind the LAT-1.
• Never look directly into the laser lens or into a mirror re-
flection of the laser light beam.
See alignment procedure for more information. Failure to fol-
low these guidelines can result in vision damage.

Figure 3. Aligning a corner-mirror light screen application using the Laser Alignment Tool
1. Mount all sensors and corner mirrors per the instructions in the appropriate manual. Leave the hardware slightly loose to allow for
positioning adjustment.
2. Assemble the appropriate clip to the LAT-1; snap it onto the light screen emitter or receiver, and slide it to one end of the sensor.
(HINT: Check the receiver for plumb first, before attaching the LAT-1 to the emitter for alignment.) Attach a retroreflective target to the
corresponding end of the opposite sensor.
3. If the sensors are mounted vertically, check the circular bubble level for plumb orientation.
4. Standing behind the Alignment Tool, view the retroreflective target from behind the sensor (see Figure 2). Adjust either or both sen-
sors and/or the corner mirrors as needed to place the laser image at the desired spot on the opposite sensor.
5. Move the Alignment Tool and the retroreflective target to the opposite ends of the sensors and repeat step 4.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until the image falls at the desired spot at both the top and bottom of the opposite sensor; then tighten all
mounting hardware.
