STEP 1 – PREPARING TO MOUNT THE
LASER SENSOR

1. Do not stare directly into the red alignment laser.

Do not leave the red alignment laser turned on after
nstallation process is complete.

2. Only use wall brackets and tripod with
compatible mounting.

3. Install the product only on a solid surface.

4. Install the product so that the detection line is not
obscured by interference from tall grass or tree branches
waving in the wind.

5. For perimeter protection, the unit should be placed at
desired detection height and parallel to ground.

6. Do not install or leave the product in a location exposed to
heat, vibration or impact.

7. The SiteWatch™ laser sensor is compatible with a number
of conventional wall brackets used for surveillance
cameras, all standard accessories, such as
pole mounts, corner mounts etc., can be used.

8. When using the product for mobile applications, the
threaded UNC 5/8” - 11 hole is compatible with most
surveyor tripods.

9. Using the mounting accessory, mark and drill all necessary
holes in the mounting surface.

STEP 2 – CABLING THE LASER SENSOR

The SiteWatch™ laser sensor is powered with PoE and all
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.

1. Remove the shell and service lid.

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).

for demanding applications is 984.25ft (300m),
to ensure detection of small objects such as
people, even in dicult weather conditions.
