NOTE: Mounting brackets should be installed to a rigid object to
prevent movement which could affect alignment and cause failures.
IMPORTANT: Conduit should be used from the control box to the
photo eye wiring box to protect wires from damage and moisture.
The wiring box has ½ inch knockouts located on the back and
bottom for the conduit connection. Do not remove the
TX-Transmitter wiring box knockout if using battery option.
1. Determine the best location for the photo eyes considering the
correct distance from the ground, conduit for wiring, location
of any irrigation system that might exist (avoid water spray) and
mounting surfaces are aligned with one another.
2. Install the mounting brackets and verify they are aligned with
each other. See figure 1.
3. Install the Transmitter and Receiver wiring box to the mounting
brackets using 4 screws and nuts.
4. Install the conduit to the receiver wiring box. If hardwired
installation install conduit for transmitter wiring box.
5. Install the receiver wires into the wiring box. If hardwired
installation install transmitter wires into the wiring box.
6. Route wire through the photo eye back plate.
7. Install the Transmitter and Receiver photo eye back plate to the
wiring box using the 4 sheet metal screws.
8. Connect wires per the wiring instructions.
9. Do not install covers at this time, this will be done after alignment
is complete.
