4.1 Communications Setup
SeeSection3.3.4,page17forinformationonconnectingtheMINI-ARRAYcontrol
moduletotheDeviceNetnetwork.
4.2 System Alignment
Theemitter/receiverpairshaveawidefieldofviewandareeasytoalign.The
recommendeddistancebetweentheemitterandreceiverrangesfrom15"to72".
(Shortersensorseparationcanbeachieved;pleaseconsultfactoryfordetails.)The
AlignmentprocessshouldbeperformedatSysteminstallationandrepeatedeverytime
oneorbothofthesensorsismoved.
AlignmentstatusiscontinuouslydisplayedbythegreenLEDindicatorsonthereceiver
andthecontroller.Whenallunblankedbeamsareclear,andexcessgainofallbeamsis

4.3 Blanking
Ifamachinefixtureorotherequipmentwillcontinuouslyblockoneormorebeams,
theaffectedbeamchannelsmaybeblanked.TheBlankingoptioncausesthecontrol
moduletoignorethestatusofblankedbeamsformeasurementmodecalculations.For
example,ifamachinefixtureblocksoneormorebeamsduringSystemoperation,the
outputdatawillbeincorrect;ifbeamsblockedbythefixtureareblanked,theoutput
datawillbecorrect.BlankingcannotbeusedwithEdgeScanmode.
