5.  Commissioning

All necessary control elements for the alignment 
are in the receiver.

P1: 

Adjustment of the sensitivity

P2: 

Adjustment of the time delay of the  

   

signal.

S1: 

Doubling of the sensitivity

   

(Pos. 1 = normal sensitivity and

   

 Pos. 2 = double sensitivity

LED red:  the flashing shows the signal intensity.

 

fast flashing   = high signal intensity

 

slow flashing  = low signal intensity 

 

LED out          = no signal received

LED green: indicates the switching status of the relay.

 

LED on           = relay closed

Adjustment of the signal threshold with Potentiometer P1

With the potentiometer P1 the signal threshold can be adjusted, to that the relay should switch.

 

The microwave barrier is adjusted in such a way that clear distinctions between interrupted or damped  
resp. not-interrupted microwave beam are made.

Proceeding

: With not-interrupted beam and 

flashing red LED

 turn P1 against the clockwise to the relay 

switches and at the same time the LED shines green. Now interrupt the beam path (put the material to 
be detected between the transmitter and the receiver) and turn P1 only so far clockwise until the green 
LED goes out. Repeat this procedure. If the green LED still lights, even with a complete left turn of P1, and 
furthermore the material has a low dielectric constant and weak damping (e.g. paper, plastics, foams, etc.), 
please contact SWR engineering GmbH

If the red LED should not light, put the switch S1 to position 2, with it the delicacy is doubled.  
If the LED does not light even in this most sensitive position, then the receiver does not get any signal from 
the transmitter. In this case examine the microwave barrier for faultless function by clarifying the following 
possibilities:

 

Wrong adjustment of the barrier to each other

 

The distance between transmitter and receiver is too large

 

Too much damping material in the beam path

 

Damping built-up at the sensors

Adjusting of the switch response time Potentiometer P2

Finally adjust the switch response time with the potentiometer P2 according to your requirement between 
the range of 0.25 and 5 seconds. By turning P2 anticlockwise, the delay increases. Thereby a fluttering of the 
relay can be stopped, which have been produced by critical adjustment of the sensitivity.
