Mounting

The wide beam pattern of PVD sensors simplifies their alignment. M4 stainless steel fasteners and

two stainless steel brackets are included with each sensor.

Mount the sensor and its reflector, if used, parallel to one another in the same plane, and their tops

and bottoms aligned.

1. From a common point of reference, make measurements to locate the sensor and its

reflector, if used, in the same plane with their midpoints directly opposite each other.

2. Mount the included brackets to the top and bottom of each sensor, as shown.

3. Mount the sensor in its brackets and the reflector, if used, being careful to position the

sensor's red lenses directly facing the reflector.

4. Measure from one or more reference planes (for example, the building or bin floor) to the

same point(s) on the emitter and receiver to verify their mechanical alignment. (If the

sensors/reflectors are mounted exactly vertical or horizontal, a carpenter’s level may be

helpful. A straightedge or a string extended between the sensor and the bin wall may also

be helpful.)

5. Also check “by eye” for line-of-sight alignment.

6. Make any necessary final mechanical adjustments, and hand-tighten the bracket hardware.

7. After the electrical hookup is complete, check for beam alignment. If necessary, re-align the

emitter and receiver at that time.

Hardware

Wiring

All models feature integral 2 m (6.5 ft) long, 3.3 mm (0.13 inch) diameter PVC-jacketed cables. Models whose model numbers end in “Q”

are terminated with quick-disconnect (QD) Euro-style 5-pin connectors; other models have unterminated ends. Optional mating QD cables

are available. Either 4-pin or 5-pin QD cables may be used; the center pin of a 5-pin cable (gray wire, pin 5) is unused in normal operation.

Wiring is functionally identical for cabled and quick-disconnect models.

Configuration

To configure the PVD, set the DIP switches as shown, using the supplied plastic screwdriver to avoid damaging the switches or causing a

short circuit.
