2-2 Installation and Checkout
Installing Shadow 8 is a straightforward procedure. However, you must install the unit with
care since Shadow 8 is a safety device that protects press operators and other personnel.
Before proceeding, make sure that you received the following items in your Shadow 8 order:
• Two optic heads (Main Transmitter and Main Receiver)
• A remote control box (if included in order)
• Two quick-disconnect cables, one for each optic head (required cable lengths specified at
time of order).
• Extension heads and interconnect cables (if included in order)
If any of these components is missing, contact Wintriss Tech. Support before starting installation.
