INSTALLATION
TIPS

The sensor must be firmly
fastened in order not to
vibrate.

The sensor must not be
placed directly behind a
panel or any kind of
material.

The sensor must not
have any object likely to
move or vibrate in its
sensing field.

The sensor must not
have any fluorescent
lighting in its sensing
field.

OPENING AND
CLOSING THE
SENSOR

Opening the sensor Closing the sensor

retaining nut.

• Tighten the retaining nut.

• Loosen the retaining nut

until the cable slides easily into the

grommet;

• Partially unscrew the 2 front cover
screws;

• Pull out the front cover with the 2
front cover screws.

• Connect the quick disconnect terminal block to the main
electronic circuit;

• Slide the main electronic circuit into the 2 housing slot
guides;

• Gently push the front cover and make sure that the external
housing is properly seated (front cover must be flush with
