Pressing right or left changes between normal and fast. It is recommended in most cases to use fast mode (in normal mode the system uses 3.5mA, in fast mode it uses 17mA). If you are commissioning more than one beam at a time and the system cannot support the extra draw it may be necessary to use normal mode to prevent excessive current draw. Fast mode allows four times faster motor response and it may be quicker to commission each beam in turn. Once commissioning is complete the FIREbeam Xtra will automatically revert to normal low power mode - (3.5mA). Pre-Alignment Press enter here to start pre-alignment. In pre-alignment you should ALWAYS COVER THE REFLECTOR . Starting at 10% power and 5% receiver sensitivity, the receiver sensitivity will automatically increase to a maximum of 100% then the output power will increase. These settings will automatically stop when a received signal strength reaches 6% - this received signal is the returned strength of the output signal without a reflector (if no return signal is received the beam will reach full power and the screen will say Pre-Align - complete). If you don’t receive high enough output power and receiver sensitivity readings this will usually be because you are receiving a reflection from an object nearby - use the left, right, up and down keys to avoid the obstruction. When happy with your readings press enter and confirm by pressing the right button, this will take you to manual alignment - if you wish to abort Pre-Align press the left button. Manual Alignment Press enter to go into manual alignment - NOW THE REFLECTOR CAN BE PLACED, OR THE COVER CAN BE REMOVED . You should see a large jump in signal strength. If no jump is seen use the X and Y keys to locate the reflector (the better the signal strength the better the beam is aligned) try to achieve a figure of around 100% or over for optimum auto alignment times. Press enter to okay this and go to auto alignment. Auto Alignment Press enter to start auto-alignment. The beam will calibrate its power and search for the edges of the reflector – adjusting its power as it aligns itself onto the reflector. Once it has found all four edges twice it will then centre itself on the middle of the reflector and the screen will say align complete. Press enter to return to the home screen. If you see align aborted this means something has crossed the beam path of the received signal and the signal has dropped out. Press back / left to return to auto alignment.
