TrackVIEW and Peripherals Install Guide
Each Active IR Zone is essentially a rectangular area that is narrow at the top and wider at the bottom. To
adjust the IR zones A (Approach) and B (Inner) zone depth, use the mechanical focusing elements on the side
of the sensor and set them to tailor the depth of both sensing zones
On the Opposite side of the IR sensor from the Approach and Inner area adjustment potentiometers, there are
three other controls to be set (Table 3). Set these parameters to the appropriate value.

installation
Like any IR sensor, the ceiling height will affect the overall IR zone size. Table 4 below lists three common
ceiling heights and the variable zone sizes available at those heights.

Example
In an 9’ (2.74m) ceiling and the ceiling
height set accordingly, the width of the
rectangular sensing zone will be
approximately 78” (1.98m) and the
rectangle depth can range between 0”
(0m) and 89” (2.26m).
