CHX-SC2 It is useful for beam alignment of thru-beam type sensors.
The optimum receiver position is given by indicators, as well as an audio signal.

Notes:

1) The plug-in connector type sensor does not allow use of some sensor mounting brackets because of the protrusion of the connector.
2) Refer to the MS-AJ for details of the universal sensor mounting stand.
3) Refer to the CHX-SC2 for details of the sensor checker CHX-SC2.
4) Set the distance between the sensor and the reflective tape to 0.1 m 0.328 ft (CX-482□: 0.4 m 1.312 ft) or more.
5) Set the distance between the sensor and the reflective tape to 0.2 m 0.656 ft or more.
