5. ALIGNMENT
The transmitter and receiver must be aligned to ensure the proper
function of the device.
Perfect alignment is achieved when the optical axes of the
first and last beam from the transmitter meet the optical axes of the
corresponding elements on the receiver.
Two yellow LEDs on the SF2 receiver, "HIGH ALIGN" and "LOW
ALIGN", simplify the alignment process. In normal mode the LEDs
indicate the function status of the safety light curtain, as shown below.

Once the mechanical assembly and the electrical connections have
been completed as described in the previous sections, the light curtain
can be aligned as described below:
•
On the transmitter (TX), ensure that the green LED "POWER ON"
and the yellow LED "SAFE" are lit. This confirms that the
transmitter is operating correctly.
•
Check that the light curtain's protected area is clear.
