Do not suppress eye-closure reflex. it is in use. The d&b ArraySight sender unit is shipped with the following label ENSURE that the meter unit is to hand at all times so that the affixed to the top surface. Do not remove this label under any beam can be switched off immediately if necessary.
D2735.EN .01 ArraySight Manual 1.2 Intended use The d&b ArraySight laser inclinometer system is intended to vertically aim an entire array in its operating position. It provides precision angle measurement over a wide measuring range of ±90 degrees. The sender unit uses a 3-axis MEMS accelerometer for data acquisition.

± 5 % . The corresponding values are displayed on the «Home» screen of the meter unit or, when integrated into the d&b Remote network, the values can be read out within R1. d&b ArraySight Manual 1.7 en...
Startup 3.1 Installing the batteries NOTICE! To power the ArraySight inclinometer system, professional high power Alkaline batteries (6 x AA - 1.5 VDC) must be used. 1. To insert and remove the batteries, undo the two M3 screws on the end of the meter unit and slide out the battery holder.
Apart from that, the buttons have different functions within the various submenus. The current function is always indicated above each button (e.g. «BACK», SET, «CANCEL», «INC»...) The display is backlit for viewing in all light conditions. d&b ArraySight Manual 1.7 en...
(default), 2 min. and 5 min. Temp. unit Defines the temperature units. °C/°F Version Displays the currently installed firmware version of both the meter and the sender units. If the sender unit is not connected, «Offline» will be displayed instead. d&b ArraySight Manual 1.7 en...
However, for maintenance reasons it might be necessary to re-calibrate the sender unit’s accelerometer. For this purpose, selecting «Calibrate» starts the calibration procedure for the connected sender unit as described in Þ Chapter 7.3 "Calibrating the accelerometer" on page 20. d&b ArraySight Manual 1.7 en...
↳ The meter unit switches back to the «IP settings» menu. If no changes have been made, the meter unit switches directly back to the «IP settings» menu as soon as you scroll to the last digit. d&b ArraySight Manual 1.7 en...
The required accuracy is ± 5 mm (± 0.2" hor./vert.) which leads to a maximum deviation of 10 cm/100 m (3.94"/328 ft). 3. Adjust the screws until the laser dot aligns precisely. 4. Switch the laser off and disconnect the sender unit. d&b ArraySight Manual 1.7 en...

5. Once alignment is complete, place a drop of thread-locking fluid on each of the screw heads to prevent loosening. d&b ArraySight Manual 1.7 en...
Using the system 5.1 Measuring the angle Once the array has been hoisted to its working height, ArraySight uses intelligent interpolating algorithms to determine the resting point of the array, while it is still moving after motor adjustment. This is important because it means you can make accurate measurements without waiting for the system to come to a complete rest after adjustment.
5.5 Application example To take an example: ArrayCalc indicates a frame angle of –3.6° from vertical. 1. Using ArraySight to measure this angle, you raise the first array to its operating height and then check the meter unit screen. 2. The figures displayed settle as the meter compensates for the swing of the array.
This allows multiple sender units to be read out within R1. By factory default, the sender unit comes with the following ethernet and remote settings: Auto Þ DHCP+LL (Link Local) IP mode: IP address: 192.168.0.111 Subnet: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: 192.168.0.1 Remote ID: 0.01 d&b ArraySight Manual 1.7 en...
This prevents the sender unit from damage due to: ▪ Ingression of moisture or liquids (e.g. water from rain) through the etherCON connector socket, ▪ corrosion of the connector socket's spring contacts. d&b ArraySight Manual 1.7 en...
ENSURE the laser is switched off throughout this procedure. The ArraySight sender units are calibrated in the factory using precision calibration jigs. If this process is attempted without a level surface and a true 90° angle, then calibration information could be incorrect.

(Mounting instructions): ▪ Z5710.001: d&b ArraySight set J-Series ▪ Z5710.002: d&b ArraySight set V-Series Apart from any other items, each ArraySight set includes the mechanical components (flying frame adapter) for two flying frames. Please verify the shipment for completeness and proper condition of the items.
Assembly 1. First attach the ArraySight sender unit [1] to the flying frame adapter [2]. 2. Fix the sender unit with the two panhead screws (M4 x 12) [3]. 3. As the sender unit assembly is mounted from the bottom of the J flying frame, turn frame by 180°.
