Setup Procedure
Gladiator Gen 3 Microwave Series
20
1. Mount the units according to
Mounting Guidelines
1.1 If units are AC powered ensure proper grounding
is connected to ground screw.
2. Make sure that the material or target is not
blocking the path between sender and receiver.
3. Turn the power on
The green LED on the sender and receiver will stay
on permanently to indicate that power is on. Green
LED on receiver varies in brightness with strength of
received signal.
4. Select the required relay action
The Relay can switch ‘ON’ (FSL) or ‘OFF’ (FSH)
as the microwave beam is blocked. Set the relay
action selection switch position depending on your
requirements. FSH is recommended (ordinarily
on/energised, switches off/DEN during blocked
conditions).
5. Select the sensitivity
There are two adjustments controlling the sensitivity
of the switch point:
5.1 The ‘HI/LO’ sensitivity switch is used as the
primary sensitivity setting. Select LO sensitivity
for Blocked Chute detection and if build-up is
expected over sensors. Select HI sensitivity for clean
environments and lighter/less absorptive material or
targets. LO recommended for most applications.
5.2 The sensitivity dial
Turning the pot fully counter-clockwise factory
recommended for blocked chute applications. If
operating in HI mode set the pot to 12 o’clock. In this
mode you can turning the pot clockwise to reduce the
amount of beam blockage required for switching and
vice versa.
Setup Procedure - Integral System
7. Select the relay time delay
Full anti clockwise is minimum (0.1 seconds). Full
clockwise is maximum (20 seconds). Adjust as
required allowing time to avoid possible nuisance
trips. The selected delay will be used for both an ON
delay and an OFF delay.
8. Perform a CAL mount
Do not proceed with this step unless the material or
target position is well beneath the line between the
sender and receiver.
Switch CAL switch on the Receiver unit to ON
position. The Blue LED will blink to indicate that
mounting calibration is now in progress. Wait 5
seconds, then switch the mounting calibration switch
to ‘OFF’ position.
The blue LED will switch off after successful
calibration. If it stays on this indicates there was
a calibration error. If this is the case please check
that the path between sender and receiver is clear
and alignment is correct. You may need to lower
the Sensitivity setting. Try the calibration again. If
mounting calibration was successful the blue LED
should be off and the Green LED should be ON.
9. Switch check
If required block the Sender with a sample of the
application material (note the units are capable of
penetrating significant amounts build up). The green
LED will dim when the Microwave beam begins to be
blocked.
You can also press the ‘TEST’ button on the Sender
to simulate a blocked chute condition and thus trigger
the relay action.
Note: Integral type Microwave systems should not
be used for anti collision detection / boom protection
applications where there is limited access to the
electronics. Contact HAWK for information about the
remote type systems.
