• Accessory bracket is required when the HX
is installed at 2.5m (8.3 ft.) height.
• The vertical angle of HX needs to be
adjusted 1 click (2.5° upward) to keep the
12 m (40 ft.) detection range.
See the “Caution” of 6-B for the details.

Using the bracket makes it possible to adjust the unit through 180° degree.
In cases where the ground is uneven and therefore not parallel with the base of the unit, it is
possible to adjust the unit vertically by ± 20 degree (see section 6-B)
Do not change the detection
distance with bracket.
Use the masking seal to
adjust the detection distance.

Do not loosen the
screw too much.

To have the right performance, set the vertical angle perpendicular to a ground.
Decide the wanted detection length at first. If you choose 9.0m/5.5m/4.0m, mask the
unwanted lens with masking seals. Refer to the 4-B for the details.
Act walk test to check if the vertical angle is
perpendicular or not.
Adjustment
screw
If you see the detection only
inside the designated
distance, change the
vertical angle upward. If you see the detection at
the designated distance, no
adjustment is needed.
If you see the detection
outside the designated
distance, change the vertical
angle downward.
* This is the case to have 12 meters detection length.

If the base of the unit is already parallel to the ground,
• Do not change the detection distance by tilting the unit up or down. Detection area and
length should be adjusted with masking tapes. Refer to 4-A and 4-B for the details.
• Walk test the unit to ensure that the desired detection distance is achieved.

9-A Example of adjustment for false alarms
1
2
If there is a road where people or vehicles can pass in front of the detection area, and
can trigger false alarms, adjust the area as follows.
Delete the unneccesory detection area (a)
using the appropriate masking seal(s) 1 2 or 3.
(Reduce the distance from 12m, 9m, 5.5m ,4m
(40ft., 30ft.,18.3ft., 13.3ft.) as determined by
the walk testing.)
Actually move and check that the system does
not detect movement on the road (a) but does
detect when you enter the detection area (b).
The detection area might increase when there
is a big temperature difference between the
moving object and the background.
For example, when the detection distance is
set to 12 m (40 ft.), sometimes vehicles 13 m
(43 ft.) away may be detected.
In this case, set the detection distance to 9 m
(30 ft.). This shortens the alarm area but it can
reduce false alarms due to vehicles.
Caution>>
Approx. 9 m
(30 ft.)
Position B
Approx. 13 m (43 ft.)
A heat source beyond the detection area may
cause the detector to cause a false alarm by
reflecting off the ground.
Examples of reflective ground is water
(puddle), wet road, smooth surface concrete
and asphalt road.
The heat source is strong and / or reflection
rate is high, detectors detection distance will
be longer than required and may detect
unwanted objects beyond. According to the
ground condition of the installation site, select
the detection range position.
Caution>>

-10-
To limit the detection range, apply the area masking seal to the section you want to hide on the
lens inside. Configure the area in such a way as to avoid having anything cut across the area.
