Fiber Lasers Receiver Fiber Transmitter Fiber For laser detection combined with optional shielding and/or SafetySignal relay, Stinger’s extraordinary Fiber Laser must be placed in pairs (consisting of a Fiber Laser Receiver and a Fiber Laser Transmitter). We refer to them as ‘pairs’ because a Receiver and Transmitter should be placed in each other’s vicinity. (Receivers can be placed on their own, without any Transmitters, in case of a detection-only setup.) • Each pair of Fibers (one Receiver, one Transmitter) should be positioned near each other. If possible, not less than 0.5 inch, and not more than 8 inches apart. These are indications for optimal performance, but there’s not necessarily a hard cut-off point. • Fibers should be facing straight forward over the road, with an uplift of about 5 degrees: a mounting angle of anywhere between 0 degrees and 10 degrees is good, but try to make sure the Fibers are never aimed down (keep in mind the possible driver and passenger infl uencie on the 30 30 30 30 mm mm mm mm balance of the car) as this can reduce performance.
