Overview

This document details the specifications and operational parameters of the Air-Slide Active Infrared Sensor, focusing on its detection area, mounting heights, and adjustable detection patterns.

Detection Area and Mounting Heights

The sensor's detection area is organized into multiple rows (1st to 5th), with specific emitting areas labeled A through G. Mounting heights vary from 2000 mm (6’7") up to 3350 mm (10’12"), with corresponding detection distances for each emitting area. The table provides precise measurements in millimeters and feet/inches for each row and area, indicating the sensor's coverage at different installation heights.

Adjustable Detection Patterns

The sensor supports pattern adjustments to optimize detection coverage. Patterns can be shifted 7° to the left or right, or adjusted to the shallowest or deepest detection angles. These adjustments affect the eliminatable areas—zones where detection can be disabled or ignored to prevent false alarms or to tailor the sensor's field of view.

Visual representations include front and side views illustrating the eliminatable areas under different pattern settings, emphasizing flexibility in configuring the sensor to specific installation environments.

Specifications and Dimensions

The document includes outer dimensions of the Air-Slide sensor unit, provided in millimeters and inches, facilitating proper planning for installation and integration into existing systems.

Critical Information and Best Practices

• Mounting height directly influences detection range and coverage; installers must refer to the provided tables to select appropriate heights for desired detection zones.
• Pattern adjustments allow customization of the sensor's detection field to avoid unwanted triggers and optimize performance.
• Understanding eliminatable areas is essential for configuring the sensor to the environment, ensuring reliable operation without blind spots or excessive sensitivity.
