WARNING: Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection

Never use this device as a sensing device for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to

serious injury or death. This device does not include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary

to allow its use in personnel safety applications. A sensor failure or malfunction can cause either an

energized or de-energized sensor output condition.

Q45BB6LL Laser Diode Retroreflective Sensors Overview Status indicator LEDs for Power, Signal and Output are clearly visible beneath a raised dome in the sensor’s transparent o-ring-sealed polycarbonate cover. The Power indicator lights whenever power is applied to the sensor. The Signal LED lights whenever the sensor sees its modulated light source, and pulses at a rate proportional to the strength of the received light signal; this is the AID™ Alignment Indicating Device.

Q45BB6LL Laser Diode Retroreflective Sensors Alignment Tip When using a small retroreflective target at medium or long range, temporarily attach (or suspend) a strip of retroreflective tape (e.g., BRT-THG-2) along a line which intersects the actual target. The visible red laser beam is easily seen in normal room lighting. Sight along the beam toward the target (from behind the sensor). Move the sensor to scan the laser beam back and forth across the retro tape strip.
