Installation Guide

• Mount the transmitter and receiver on a rigid frame so both units face each other squarely.
• Keep the effective aperture angle within ±2.5° when the operating distance reaches 3 m or more.
• Choose optical synchronization for simple setups or wire synchronization for tighter timing control.
• Set the Channel A/B switch when two GL-R systems operate near each other in optical mode.
• Wire the OSSD outputs to the machine safety circuit and confirm the 24 VDC supply stays within tolerance.
• Test the detection zone with the ø14 mm test rod before you release the machine for production.
• Keep strong light sources away from the receiver to preserve ambient light immunity.
