steady foundation, such as a wall or a pole that 
is well secured to minimize risk of misalignment 
due to vibrations.
NOTE:  The sensor has a maximum detection range of 
up to 1640.42ft (500m). Recommended range 
for demanding applications is 984.25ft (300m), 
to ensure detection of small objects such as 
people, even in dicult weather conditions.

communication is made with TCP/IP. For applications that 
require cables over 328ft (100m) between unit location 
and nearest switch or router it is necessary to use network 
extenders or fiber optics.

2. Insert the network cable without a connector through the 
  cable gland. Crimp RJ45 connector to the cable then plug 
  into the RJ45 jack. 
3. Tighten the cable gland to secure the cable and seal   
the casing. 
4. If the relay is desired to be used, replace the plug on the 
  backside with supplied cable gland. 
5. Connect the signal cable to the terminals. Choose   
  connection for desired function, normally open (N/O) or 
  normally closed (N/C).
