Step 5 –Conclude the Installation
•To each PhotoeyeVault baseplate, drill the first mounting hole using the baseplate as a jig,
referencing the position markers established earlier in the process
•Conduct a round of final tests on the photoeyes to ensure correct aim
•Adjust aims accordingly if values deviate from suggested readings
•Mark the second mounting hole on the baseplate(s); drill and slip-in the mounting hardware
and tighten
•Proceed to mark and drill the remaining third and fourth mounting holes on the
baseplate(s)
•The PhotoeyeVault baseplate is slotted allowing the vault to swivel for final corrections of
the photoeye’s aim
•Tighten the body screws on the PhotoeyeVault(s)
•Tighten all baseplate mounting screws
•Installation is complete
