APPENDIX G – LAT LASER ALIGNMENT TOOL
1.0
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Laser Alignment Tool provides a visual indication of
the alignment between a GS-120 emitter and receiver.
It is particularly useful for long range installations and
installations requiring mirrors. The Laser Alignment
Tool simply snaps into one of the GS-120 sensing units
(emitter or receiver). See Figure 73. It projects a beam
of light across the sensing field and places a targeting
dot on the (emitter or receiver). The dot gives the
installer visual feedback on the accuracy of the
alignment. The laser can be focused by simply rotating
the beam projection head. The beam is kept on by
applying inward pressure to the projector head until the
"on" switch actuates.
For optimum alignment, the laser target dot should be
located at the center of the clear lens of the emitter or
receiver. Initially, the target dot may not land on the
emitter or receiver at all. In this case, place a sheet of
cardboard or a similar target behind the unit in order to
provide a larger area for the laser dot to land. Once the
laser dot is found, it will give the installer an indication
as to which direction the sensing units need to be
adjusted.
The Laser Alignment Tool is for initial set-up ONLY. It
can not be used during normal machine operation since
it will obstruct the light curtain. The laser MUST NOT
BE POINTED OR DIRECTED TOWARDS ANY
PERSONS. Figure 74 shows the outline dimensions,
and Figure 75 lists the technical specifications.
