AR24 EYE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
Light needs adjustment when:
A) Light searches from side to side
B) Light does not focus on the spot where the probe is
placed
2. Place your hand behind the probe bulb, at the usable
distance in that room (approximately 6’8”). Move the
probe in the “A” direction. If the light moves past or stops
before the probe, only then, should that eye be adjusted.
NOTE
3. If the spot moves past the probe (spot “A”), move the
eye in the “A” direction. This will bring the light back to
the probe. If the spot stops short of the probe (spot “B”),
move the eye in the “B” direction.
Before adjusting the light, make sure
your probe is charged.
CAUTION
1. Place electrical tape over the three eyes as shown in
Figure AB. The remaining eye will only adjust for the light
in the “A” direction.
This adjustment is VERY DELICATE
and only needs to be moved LESS
THAN 2MM. The handle of a screwdriver
will work fine with a LIGHT touch. Tap on
the eye in the direction needed, recheck
the location of the spot as in step #3.
The adjustment is complete when the
light spot stops at the probe.
4. The eye directly across must be adjusted next, Figure
CD. Remove the tape from the eye directly across from
the eye previously adjusted and place it on the adjusted
eye. The same steps should be taken as in steps 2 and
3. If the light moves past the probe (spot “C”), move the
eye in the “C” direction to bring the spot back to the probe.
If the spot stops short of the probe (spot “D”), move the
eye in the “D” direction.
5. Remove the tape from “A” and “B” eyes and check the
adjustment from side to side. If the light wants to wander,
tap either “A” or “B” out away from the center of the light
(less than 2mm).
Figure AB.

Use the same adjustment procedure in steps 2 through 5
to adjust eyes “EF” and “GH”. Refer to Figures EF and GH.
If further assistance is needed, contact a SKYTRON Service
Representative.

DAMAGED SHIPMENT CLAIM PROCEDURE
Whenever a shipment suffers damage while in the custody
of the transportation company, the responsibility lies with the
transportation company, and the value of the damages can
be collected from the transportation company if the proper
procedures are followed.
When a shipment is received in a damaged condition and
due to the appearance of the containers such as a broken
crate, torn wrapping, or smashed carton, the contents may
have been damaged. That fact should be noted on the Bill of
Lading offered by the transportation company. An example of
an applicable statement would be; "Received in good order
except as noted" or "Crate damaged, possibility of concealed
damage." The addition of these types of statements on
the shipping documents will automatically give grounds for
starting a claim. If damage cannot be identified on the exterior of the
container, but is found when the container is opened, further
unpacking should be stopped immediately and the container
with all wrapping or packing materials should be held. The
transportation company should be notified so an inspector
can be sent. Failure to follow either of these two procedures
may result in an inability to file a claim and collect for damage
done. Returning the container to the sender without such an
inspection may prevent filing a claim, because it will divide the
responsibility for damage and in many cases the transportation
company will return the shipment to the sender without charge
after the inspection.
AR24 INSTALL • REV5
The claim itself may be filed by either the shipper or consignee,
but the consignee must notify the transportation company
and the shipper that the damage has occurred. Remember
that refusal of the shipment or failure to note the possibility of
damage on the shipping documents may jeopardize the claim. Also, acceptance of a damaged shipment which has been
processed properly to allow for filing a claim, will not jeopardize
the position of the consignee. In any case, SKYTRON will
see that damage which is not the fault of the consignee or
his agents is corrected, if the transportation company does
not honor the claim, as long as SKYTRON receives the full
cooperation of the consignee in filing the claim.
Some of the papers needed for filing a claim are in the hands
of the consignee after the shipment has been received. If
SKYTRON must file a claim, we will request these papers by
name from the consignee at such time as the claim is under
discussion. We will require the originals of these papers and
not copies.
Knowledge of the procedures outlined above and your
cooperation in submitting damaged shipment claims will
help both you, our customer, and SKYTRON by assuring the
integrity of our products from manufacturing to installation. 5085 Corporate Exchange Blvd. S.E.
