Re: IR mirror with Crow IR beam



i have used photobeams 65 feet xmiter to mirror then 65 feet back to
reciever..
but you gota have the thing spot on or it won't work.
I used a Q-beam spot light to align the mirror..
black out the room as best you can, then place the Q-beam aiming for the
mirror,
then adjust the mirror to put a spot where you want the receiver to go.
then lock the mirror down, go to the spot and mark it for the receiver..
then mount the transmitter and receiver and adjust the light and photocell
toward the mirror..
usually it works first time for me..

Has anyone had any success using the Crow IR photobeam with an IR mirror
between the pair of transmitters? It's problematic getting power to the
other side of span, and using an IR mirror on the far side would be
helpful.
I can mount the two Crow units 12' apart so interference should not be a
problem.

Best,
Christopher
