Reduced Light Intensity

The brightness of the light source may decrease caused by aging or thermal effects.
Readjust the light intensity in case of a failure only.
The intensity is set correct with the factory setting.
Use the video signal, see menu Video, 1B00 to evaluate the light intensity. Without a
measurement object the video signal should be arranged within the marked area.
Check whether the intensity is reduced by
- pollution,
- incorrect adjustment of the light source and receiver (for free arrangement without
mounting rails).
Clean the windows or adjust the light source and the receiver again.
Similarly, avoid ambient light into the receiver, which can increase the video signal.
