Press enter to go into the ‘Mode Change’ menu and access the sub menus. Threshold - use the right and left keys to increase or decrease the beams sensitivity. It is factory set at 35% (meaning the received signal must drop by 35% to trigger the fire relay). This sensitivity can be adjusted between 25% (sensitive) and 50% (less sensitive). Press enter to return to ‘Mode Change’ or down to go to ‘Time to Fire’. Time to Fire - you can adjust how long the beam must be in fire before the fire relay is triggered. This is factory set at 10s, you may want to increase this if there is something that may momentarily obscure the beam path (birds/forklift truck etc). This can be adjusted between 2 and 30 seconds by using the right and left keys. Press enter to return to ‘Mode Change’ or down to go to ‘Time to Fault’. Time to Fault - you can adjust the time to fault between 2 and 60 seconds (factory set at 10 seconds). For a beam to go into fault the beam path must be totally blocked within ONE second. By using the right and left keys. Press enter to return to ‘Mode Change’ or down to go to ‘Auto Reset’). Auto Reset - the beam is factory set to auto reset when the received signal raises above the fire threshold hysteresis. This can be set to latching if your system requires this. Change by using the right and left keys. Press enter to return to ‘Mode Change’ or down to go to ‘Align On/Off’. Align On/Off - you may want to turn the auto alignment function off, for example, in an environment that often gets filled with welding smoke, the auto align function kicks in when the received signal drops below 90%, the point that the beam automatically checks for building movement. The beam will try to align through the smoke which could be a problem if it is unable to see the edges of the reflector. Use the right and left keys to turn off and on. When turning this function off extra care should be taken to ensure that the beam head is on a sturdy fixing, in other words, a brick wall or major structural steel. Auto alignment will still function in commissioning. Press enter to return to ‘Mode Change’ or down to go to ‘Align Time’. Align Time - this is factory set to 4hrs, you can adjust this, by using the right and left keys, between 0 to 12 hours depending on your environment. Press enter to return to ‘Mode Change’ or down to go to ‘Green Flashing Light On/Off’. Green Flashing Light On/Off - you can turn the green flashing LED, located on the head and controller, on or off using the right and left keys. This is a useful way of identifying the beam head you are working with. Press enter to return to ‘Mode Change’ or down to go to ‘Phase’.
