Do not use this device for personnel protection
Using this device for personnel protection could
result in serious injury or death.
•
This device does not include the self-checking
redundant circuitry necessary to allow its use in
personnel safety applications. A device failure or
malfunction can cause either an energized (on) or
de-energized (off) output condition.
Alignment Indicator Device (AID)*
Light/Dark Operate Select Switch
Clockwise: Light Operate
(outputs conduct when sensing
light is received).
Counterclockwise: Dark Operate
(outputs conduct when sensing
light is not received).
