Note: Mount to the side if you don’t have vehicle clearance of the sensor (see above right); ensure vehicles will not strike the sensor.
The OVS-6000 utilizes an active infrared transmitter and photoelectric
receiver located in the rectangular sensor head. This Quick Setup Guide
will answer the most common installation questions, including: Mounting
location, aiming the sensor head to achieve proper detection, self-learning,
and programming.
After choosing the mounting location, open the box and remove
the sensor.
View the Transmitter, Receiver and Dipswitches. See below for detail of
dipswitch settings.

Test and Complete Installation
3 and 4 - Frequency
Set 3 and 4 Down (unless using 2 or more detectors with overlapping detec-
tion patterns next to each other; then, adjust to different frequencies).
8 - Delay
8 Down (shown), Notication (Vehicle Approaching): no delay.
8 Up requires 2 or more beams broken within a 3-second period for Dwell
time (Vehicle Stationary).
7 - LED Indicator
7 Down (shown), LED on, turns off with detection.
7 Up, LED stays on with power.
1 and 2 - Presence (Vehicle) Detection Timer
Notication (Vehicle Approaching): 1 and 2 Down (shown).
Dwell Time (Vehicle Stationary): 1 Up, 2 Down
5 and 6 - Adjust Detection Height Area
9 to 15 feet: 5 Up, 6 Down (shown).
12 to 24 feet: 5 Down, 6 Up.
Mount Sensor and Adjust the Detection Pattern
* Apply power - no vehicles in the detection pattern for a 10-second learning time.
When mounted on the ceiling, the sensor head is aimed in this direction.
Loosen keeper nut and adjust sensor head so that it aims at the ground
above the driver’s side of the vehicle.
The sensor projects narrow detection beams towards the ground.
The detection area contains 4 beams, as displayed in image at
right. The IR Locator (optional) will give you the ability to locate the
individual beams. When the LEDs light up on the IR Locator, you
are within the beam area. The IR Locator Adjustment Tool can be
purchased from OPTEX. Call 800-877-6656 to learn more.
