4. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation of the BP-50X Pole Cover.
4.1 Pre-installation Checklist
- Ensure you have all necessary components: BP-50X Pole Cover (2 pieces), PXB series infrared sensor (not included).
- Verify the pole diameter is compatible (refer to specifications).
- Gather required tools: screwdriver, measuring tape, level.
- Confirm power to the sensor is disconnected.
4.2 Dimensional Drawing
Refer to the dimensional drawing for precise measurements and pole compatibility details.
Figure 4.1: Dimensional drawing of the TAKEX BP-50X Pole Cover. This diagram shows the overall dimensions (height 447mm, width 112.5mm) and compatible pole diameters (φ42mm to φ49mm). It also indicates knockout points for φ42.7mm and φ48.6mm poles.
4.3 Installation Steps
- Prepare the Sensor: Ensure the PXB series infrared sensor is already mounted on the pole according to its own instruction manual.
- Align the Covers: Take one half of the BP-50X pole cover. Align it with the back of the sensor, ensuring the sensor fits snugly within the cover's contours.
- Attach the First Half: Secure the first half of the pole cover to the sensor/pole using the provided mounting hardware (if any, typically the sensor's mounting screws might be used or specific screws for the cover).
- Attach the Second Half: Take the second half of the pole cover and align it with the remaining exposed side of the sensor and the first cover half.
- Secure Both Halves: Fasten both halves of the pole cover together, ensuring a secure and seamless fit around the sensor and pole. Verify all screws are tightened appropriately.
- Final Check: Inspect the installed pole cover for stability and proper alignment. Ensure it does not obstruct the sensor's detection area or any necessary adjustments.
5. Operating Instructions
The BP-50X Pole Cover is a passive protective accessory and does not require specific operational steps. Its function is to provide physical protection and aesthetic integration for the infrared sensor. The operation of the infrared sensor itself is detailed in its respective product manual.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and effectiveness of the BP-50X Pole Cover.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the exterior of the pole cover with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that may damage the material.
- Inspection: Annually inspect the pole cover for any signs of damage, cracks, or loose fittings. Ensure all mounting screws are secure.
- Obstruction Check: Verify that no vegetation or other objects are growing or accumulating around the pole cover that could obstruct the sensor's field of view.
7. Troubleshooting
As the BP-50X is a passive cover, direct troubleshooting is minimal. Most issues will relate to its physical integrity or impact on the sensor.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Pole cover is loose or rattling. | Mounting screws are loose. | Tighten all mounting screws. Ensure the sensor is also securely mounted. |
| Visible damage to the pole cover (cracks, dents). | Physical impact or environmental stress. | Assess the extent of damage. If structural integrity is compromised, replace the pole cover to ensure continued protection for the sensor. |
| Sensor performance issues after cover installation. | Cover misaligned, obstructing sensor. | Re-align the pole cover. Ensure it does not block the sensor's lenses or detection path. Refer to the sensor's manual for troubleshooting sensor-specific issues. |
