HX-40 TROUBLE OUTPUT Dip switch HX-40AM Trouble output is used for anti-masking signal. 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.
OPERATION TEST Example of adjustment for false alarms If there is a road where people or vehicles can pass in front of the detection area, and can trigger false alarms, adjust the area as follows. Delete the unneccesory detection area (a) using the appropriate masking seal(s) 1 2 or 3.
Configure the area in such a way as to avoid having anything cut across the area. Pasting on example for masking No. 5 and No. 6 Area masking seal LED FUNCTIONS Light Blink HX-40 DETECTOR STATUS LED Indication LED operation Alarm Red light Warm-up period...
