Abstract
A system and method for an optical displacement detector system with adjustable pattern direction are disclosed. In an embodiment, the detector system includes a mounting bracket and a sensor assembly. The sensor assembly includes a housing, and a sensor module in the housing. The sensor assembly can be rotated with respect to the mounting bracket to adjust an optical axis of the sensor module. In another embodiment, the detector system includes a turntable that enables additional adjustment of the optical axis. Such a system significantly improves installation of these detector systems as compared to existing optical displacement detector systems, which have fixed optical axes. In one application, the detector system is installed in a door system having a door and door frame, and detects displacement of the door.
