Using the wireless module

The wireless module powers the sensor laser and passes alignment readings
from the sensor to the Product. The module covers direct line of sight distances
of up to 10 m / 33' depending on the prevailing environmental conditions. Its
electronic compartment complies with code IP65 (dust tight and protected against
water jets). The module is powered by two 'AA' size batteries. The operating
time for the alkaline batteries is 14 hours – based on an operating cycle of 50%
measurement, 50% standby. Lithium-ion AA batteries (such as for cameras) may
also be used, in place of alkaline batteries. For lithium-ion batteries, the operating
time is significantly longer; however, the drop-off rate when they become
depleted is much faster than with alkaline batteries, providing less advance
warning.
Mounting the wireless module
Mount the wireless module on the support posts of the bracket fixed on the
shaft of the left machine (usually stationary machine) as shown in Figure 7-2.
The module slides onto the support posts and is held in place by friction fit. It is
recommended to mount the wireless module on to the bracket frame.
Mount the sensor on the support posts, and then connect its cable to the wireless
module by inserting the longer 90-degree connector of the cable into the four-pin
socket on the side of the module with a groove (see Figure 7-2).
Match the red dot on the plug to the groove on the socket to ensure proper plug
orientation.
