Description
The Gent S4-34741-99 is a pack of five light shields for the S4-34742 beam sensor receiver. The shield protects the receiving optics where direct sunlight or another strong light source would otherwise reach the receiving end of the beam path. It lines up with the black lens retainer and pushes into place until it locks with a click. Each shield is 50mm in diameter and 75mm long, with a weight of about 14g. One shield fits one receiver, so the pack can serve five receivers where shielding is needed. The shield is used at the receiving head of an S4 beam pair and must not be fitted to its transmitter.
The S4-34741-99 shield fits the S4-34742 receiver used in an S4 beam sensor pair. It shields the receiving optics where sunlight or strong light is likely to reach the receiver. The shield is fitted only at the receiver end of the pair.

The S4-34741-99 shield fits the S4-34742 receiver used in an S4 beam sensor pair. It shields the receiving optics where sunlight or strong light is likely to reach the receiver. The shield is fitted only at the receiver end of the pair.
Align the shield with the receiver's black lens retainer and push it into place until it clicks into the locked position. The S4-34741 transmitter has a red lens retainer and must not have this shield fitted.
Each shield is 50mm in diameter by 75mm long and weighs approximately 14g. The pack contains five shields. With one shield on each receiver needing protection from strong light, one pack serves up to five receivers.
The receiver works with an S4-34741 transmitter, or as the receiving head supplied in the S4-34740 pair. Each sensor head mounts on a base fixed to an angle or parallel bracket. The shield fits to the receiver's lens retainer at the front of the head.

FAQs
Which device accepts the light shield?
The shield fits the S4-34742 beam receiver, identified by its black lens retainer. That receiver works with the S4-34741 transmitter, and both heads are supplied together in the S4-34740 pair. The shield is used where sunlight or strong light is likely to reach the receiver. It aligns with the lens retainer and pushes into place until it locks with a click. It must only be fitted to the receiving head, and not to the red-retainer transmitter.
How many shields are supplied in one pack?
The S4-34741-99 pack contains five light shields. Each shield fits one S4-34742 receiver, so a pack can serve five receivers where strong-light shielding is needed. A shield is 50mm in diameter and 75mm long, with an approximate weight of 14g per shield. It locks onto the receiver's black lens retainer at the front of the head. The receiving head remains one end of the beam pair, facing the S4-34741 transmitter at the other end.
When is a receiver light shield fitted?
Fit the shield where direct sunlight or strong light is likely to fall into the receiver's beam path. It shields the receiving optics from that light and mounts on the receiver's black lens retainer. The S4-34742 receiver forms a pair with the S4-34741 transmitter, with each head mounted on its own bracket and base. The shield belongs only on the receiving head. One shield is used for each receiver needing shielding, with five shields supplied in the pack.
How is the shield secured to the receiver?
Align the shield with the black lens retainer on the S4-34742 receiver. Push it onto the retainer until it locks in place; the click identifies the positive lock. The shield sits at the front of the receiving head, which faces the transmitter across the beam path. Each shield measures 50mm in diameter by 75mm long and weighs approximately 14g. The same receiver can be supplied individually as S4-34742 or as part of the S4-34740 detector pair.
Can the shield be fitted at both ends of a pair?
The shield must only be fitted to the receiver. The S4-34742 receiving head has a black lens retainer that accepts it, while the S4-34741 transmitter is identified by a red lens retainer. Use the shield at a receiver exposed to sunlight or strong light in its optical path. Both heads still form the S4 beam sensor pair, each mounted on its own bracket and base. Each pack provides five shields for receivers where that shielding is required.
