## **Installation** 

## **Mounting** 

- **1)** When installing the sensors, make sure that the maxi­ mum range is not exceeded and ­ if two separate sys­ tems are mounted close to each other ­ place the sen­ sors so cross­talk is avoided. 

- **2)** To protect the receiver and the transmitter from dam­ age, proper fittings must be used in the installation. 

- **3)** Connect the receiver and the emitter to the dedicated terminals on the S142... system.
