Simple Installation and Maintenance
The OSID system consists of up to seven Emitters, for the 45° and 90° Imager units, located along the perimeter of the protected area, and an Imager mounted opposite. Each component can be mounted directly to the surface or can be secured with the supplied mounting brackets. Battery powered Emitters with up to five years battery life are also available to reduce installation time and cost.
On the Imager, a termination card provides all field wiring terminals, and DIP switches enable the user to configure the detector for particular applications.
Alignment of the Emitter is simply achieved using a laser alignment tool to rotate the optical spheres until the laser beam projected from the alignment tool is close to the Imager.
The Imager is aligned in a similar way so that its Field of View (FOV) encompasses all Emitters. A Trouble or Fault will be indicated if an Emitter is missing or outside the Imager field of view.
The OSID system is highly tolerant to dust and dirt and requires little maintenance in practice. Preventative maintenance is limited to occasionally cleaning the optical faces of the detector components.
