ADJUSTING THE VERTICAL ANGLE

3-5

To have the right performance, set the vertical angle parallel to a ground.
Decide the wanted detection length at first. If you choose 9.0m/5.5m/4.0m, mask the
unwanted lens with masking seals. Refer to the 3-1 for the details.

Carry out the walk test to check if the vertical
angle is perpendicular or not.

Decide the horizontal angle, and tighten

7

the adjustment screw clockwise.

If you see the detection only

inside the designated distance,

change the vertical angle upward.

* This is the case to have 12 meters detection length.

If you see the

detection at the

designated distance,

no adjustment is

needed.

If you see the detection outside

the designated distance, change

the vertical angle downward.

Caution>>

If the base of the unit is already parallel to the ground,

• Do not change the detection distance by tilting the unit up or down. Detection area and
length should be adjusted with masking tapes. Refer to 1-3 and 3-1 for the details.

• Walk test the unit to ensure that the desired detection distance is achieved.

• Use a transmitter with 2 inputs or low battery
terminal and connect to TROUBLE OUTPUT.

• Use 2 small transmitter units and connect one
unit to the alarm wiring and the other to the
trouble wiring (the size of such transmitters
should be small enough to be accommodated
in the HX-40RAM internal spaces (A/B)).

• To output LOW BATTERY SIGNAL to ALARM

Trouble signal output >>

Trouble signal at regular intervals is output after trouble condition continues for a certain
period.

• ANTI MASKING OUTPUT

When an object is placed close to the lens surface, for a period of more than 180
seconds, the IR Anti-Masking circuit will activate and generate a trouble signal.
Anti-Masking output will be automatically reset within about one minute after a
masking object is removed.

• LOW BATTERY OUTPUT

When the battery capacity becomes low, the unit automatically outputs fixed time
transmission to call attention.
When LOW BATTERY signal is output, Anti-Masking function will be canceled in order
to extend the battery life.
When LOW BATTERY signal is output, replace all the batteries with new ones.

Warning

Do not use batteries of different capacities (i.e.: mixing new and used batteries) or of
different manufacturers and/or types together. Not observing the above may result in
an explosion, leakage of electrolyte, emission of toxic gases or other outcomes that
may be harmful to people and property.
