Installation Manual

Stacking examples
Photobeam sets combined together form a stack. A stack is similar to a row in that you can
install up to four rows (stacks) of photobeams when securing a perimeter, or area. In the
following sections, four stacking examples are shown with brief descriptions as to why you
might install a stack configuration.
Single stacking
Refer to the following graphic below for a single stack example.

Callout ﹘ Description
1 ー Single stack assigned to Channel M
2 ー Receiver

Application
Using a single stack configuration provides a basic level of detection when you want to secure
a longer distance perimeter area like a fence.
In single stack configurations:
– Select all devices for Channel M.
– Set photobeams sets depicted in the above illustration, to Group B (callout 4) to avoid
crosstalk with sets in Group A (callout 5).
– Synchro wires are not required.
Double stack
Refer to the following graphic below for a double stack example.
