Most photo eyes require careful optical alignment in order to aim the emitter beam to the center of the
receiver or reflector. In order to avoid false triggering, it is important to carefully align the system.
Align the photo eyes using this feature by taking the following steps:
1. Access the User Menu and select PE.
To access the User Menu, press the Menu button twice. For a refresher
on using the Menu Mode navigational buttons, refer to the chart below.
2. Press NEXT and continue to press NEXT until PE 0 (OFF) appears.
3. Press SELECT.
PE characters begin blinking.
4. To turn ON photo eye alignment and temporarily power the sensors,
press NEXT so PE 1 (ON) appears.
5. Press SELECT.
PE stops blinking.
6. Move the photo eyes (up/down, side to side) to align the emitter beam.

7. When the buzzer chirps twice, indicating the photo eyes are aligned, set the next photo eye (if the site
has one) and continue the process until all photo eyes are aligned.

resets to zero (OFF).
