3. Setup and Installation

Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance of your infrared sensor. Follow these steps carefully.

3.1. General Installation Notes

The ideal installation height is approximately 20 cm from the ground.
The minimum installation distance between the emitter and receiver should be no less than 2 meters.
Ensure the emitter and receiver are installed perpendicular to the protected area and are at the same horizontal level.
Install the receiver unit first, then the emitter unit.
Adjust the alignment until the "OFF" light on the receiver is extinguished, indicating proper beam alignment.

3.2. Wiring the Sensor

Refer to the diagram below for correct wiring connections. Ensure power is disconnected before wiring.

Receiver (R) Connections:

Power Input (12-24V): Connect your 12V or 24V DC/AC power supply.
COM: Common terminal for relay output.
OUT (Relay):
- NC: Normally Closed contact.
- NO: Normally Open contact.
- Choose NC or NO based on your application's requirements.

Emitter (T) Connections:

Power Supply (12-24V AC/DC): Connect your 12V or 24V AC/DC power supply.

3.3. Mounting the Sensor

Follow these steps for physical installation (refer to the "Wiring diagram and mounting instructions" image above for visual guidance):

Unpack: Open the package and take out all accessories.
Positioning: Stick the provided holder location map (if available) or mark the desired mounting spots.
Drill Holes: Drill holes at the marked spots and insert expansion pipes/plugs.
Connect Wires: Before final mounting, connect the necessary wires to both the emitter and receiver units as per the wiring diagram.
Secure Base: Fix the sensor bases using screws (typically screws 1, 2, 3).
Adjust Angle: Adjust the appropriate angle of the PCBA (Printed Circuit Board Assembly) if needed (up to ±90°) and then fix it with screws (typically screws 4, 5).
Final Assembly: Once wiring and alignment are complete, secure the covers onto both the transmitter and receiver units.

4. Operating Instructions

The FD-ABO-90 Infrared Motion Sensor operates by creating an invisible infrared beam between the emitter and receiver units. When this beam is interrupted by an object or person, the receiver's relay output changes its state (from NC to NO or vice-versa, depending on configuration).

Normal Operation: When the beam is clear, the relay output will be in its default state (e.g., NC is closed, NO is open).
Beam Interruption: When an object breaks the infrared beam, the relay output will switch to its alternate state (e.g., NC opens, NO closes). This change in state can be used to trigger alarms, open/close gates, or activate other connected devices.
Alignment Indicator: The receiver unit typically has an indicator light. When the beam is properly aligned and clear, this light will be off. If the light is on, it indicates a misalignment or an obstruction in the beam path.

5. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and reliable operation of your infrared sensor, perform the following maintenance tasks:

Clean Lenses: Periodically clean the lenses of both the emitter and receiver units with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust, dirt, or debris that may obstruct the infrared beam.
Check Connections: Annually inspect all wiring connections to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion.
Verify Alignment: Occasionally check the alignment of the emitter and receiver. If the indicator light on the receiver is on when the path is clear, realign the units.
Environmental Factors: Be aware that heavy rain, dense fog, or snow can temporarily reduce the sensor's effective range.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your FD-ABO-90 sensor, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
Sensor not reacting / No detection when object passes.	Emitter and receiver are too close. Misalignment of emitter and receiver. Obstruction in the beam path. Incorrect wiring or power supply. Lenses are dirty.	Increase the distance between emitter and receiver by at least 1 meter. Realign the units until the receiver's indicator light is off. Clear any physical obstructions. Verify all wiring connections and ensure correct 12-24V AC/DC power supply. Clean the sensor lenses.
Sensor is overly sensitive or triggers without clear obstruction (false alarms).	Emitter and receiver are very near, causing over-sensitivity. Environmental interference (e.g., direct sunlight, strong reflections).	If units are very close, try removing the medium of the condensing lens to reduce sensitivity. Ensure units are not exposed to direct sunlight or strong reflective surfaces.
No power to sensor.	Power supply issue. Loose wiring.	Check power source and ensure it's providing 12-24V AC/DC. Inspect all power connections for tightness.

7. User Tips

Power Supply: Always ensure you are using the correct power supply (12V or 24V AC/DC) as specified in the manual for optimal performance and to prevent damage.
Alignment Patience: Take your time during the alignment process. A precise alignment ensures reliable operation and minimizes false triggers.

8. Warranty and Support
