Sensor Orientation
Correct sensor-to-object orientation is important to ensure proper sensing.
Minimize the tilt angle of a target relative to the sensor. The target should be tilted less than half of the beam angle.
T= Target Angle, BA=Beam Angle
Mount the Device Using the Threaded Barrel
If your device came with a lock washer, place the lock washer on the barrel of the device.
1.
Insert the barrel of the device though a hole or a bracket.

4.
tighten the mounting screws at this time.
Check the device alignment, aiming it near parallel to, or down towards, the ground.
5.
If aiming at a target, alignment and signal strength can be checked via the red Signal Strength LED or the Banner
Radar Configuration Software.
6. Tighten the nut.
If using a bracket, tighten the mounting screws to secure the device and the bracket in the aligned position.
