    Photo-Eyes and support brackets 1. Photo-Eyes and Photo-Eye brackets The ALPS SPEEDGLIDER comes with (4) photo-eye sensor/emitters and (4) reflectors mounted in a bracket assembly (shown below). The fourth photo-eye/reflector is an optional (fast speed photo-eye). Mounting screws: Use an M8 Allen wrench. Hex nuts: Use an M17 Open-end wrench. Vertically adjust emitters and reflectors with an M5 Allen wrench.
