Optical Feedback Loop
If you have an IR sensor in the same room as a flasher, and you have
some low-level noise or interference, an optical feedback loop can
occur which will interfere with proper operation. Symptoms can
include: poor range, intermittent operation or no operation.

provide instructions for eliminating optical
feedback loops.
Start from Step One
In your installation you may be faced with a combination of the four
problems or symptoms that are universal to all of the problems.
Rather than trying to guess which problem you have, use a process of
elimination. The Troubleshooting section is designed to eliminate the
most common problems first. If you start from Step 1 and methodical-
ly check everything you will find the problem in much less time than
the troubleshooter who makes assumptions.
