Installation
WARNING
Do not paint the device. If painting is done in an area where a sensor is
located, exercise caution to ensure paint is not deposited on the sensor.
Such paint deposits could interfere with the device operation. Solvents
in the paint may also cause an alarm condition to occur.
WARNING
Protect the device from extreme vibration. Do not mount the sensing
head in direct sunlight, since this may cause the sensor to overheat. A
stainless steel sunshield is available for the device to protect it from ex-
treme environments.
CAUTION
During sensor installation or removal, do not use any tools or apply ex-
cessive force to the two legs that support the unit's reflectors. Applying
force to the legs can permanently damage the monitor.
CAUTION
MSA recommends that the device's environmental guard should be in-
stalled on the unit at all times. If the device is to be operated without the
guard, frequent checks must be made to ensure particulate or liquid mat-
ter has not collected on the windows.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE ABOVE CAN R ESULT IN PRODUCT DAMAGE AND/
OR AN UNSAFE CONDITION.
Use a wrench on the hex nut in the sensor neck to install or remove the sensor.

Do not apply torque to the two sensor legs.

Optional Junction Box Instructions:
If installing the device on a junction box, verify that the junction box area classifica-
tion is appropriate for the installation environment. Two options are available for
MSA junction boxes:
- Powder-coated Aluminum
- 316 Stainless Steel
A stainless steel mounting plate is included with either junction box to ensure that
there is sufficient clearance from the installed surface [ fig. 5 and 6].
