    Calibration The compensated ultrasonic, infrared (IR), and Hi-Temp edge detectors may be calibrated to guide materials that are between 15% and 100% opaque to the detectors’ sensing beam. During the calibration procedure the microprocessor records the signal level twice: once with the sensing beam unblocked, and then a second time with the sensing beam blocked by the material.

    Maintenance Ultrasonic Edge Detectors: The ultrasonic edge detectors require no periodic maintenance. If a loss of unblocked signal level is noticed, cleaning of the transducer faces may be required. Clean the transducer faces with a clean cloth dampened with water or a mild soap solution. DO NOT use harsh solvents as this may damage the transducer.
