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.

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.
•Always use the Masking seals.
•Walk test the unit to ensure that the disired detection distance is achieved.
Tighten the adjustment screw.
Wire to the terminal and install the
Main unit and lens on the base.
On the Main unit, make the settings
and check operation.
Using 6-B as reference, adjust the up-
down orientation, then tighten the lock
screw.
Fit the shaft cover into place.

There is no need to adjust

Adjust the angle downward.
Carry out the walk test again.
In cases where he ground is not parallel with the base of the unit the correct detection
distance will not be obtained. In such cases, a walk test will be required. To ensure that the
required area of detection is achieved.
Complete walk test from outside the walking area
to inside. Check that at a distance of 12 to 13m
(40 to 43ft.) from the Main unit, the sensor detects
the person and the LED lights.

Trouble output is used for anti-masking signal.
When an object is placed close to the lens surface, for a period of

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 fromo 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
(3 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.
