How to position/align Gocator with invisible (IR) laser

Some Gocator Laser Line profiles use invisible (IR) lasers.  For setup or alignment, it may be helpful to see the laser line with your eye.  This can be done using either an Infrared Viewer or Laser Detection Card.

Depending on the exact laser class and wavelength, you may also be able to use slightly "light blue" paper.

Note: The infrared/invisible lasers are more dangerous compared to visible laser radiation as the blink reflects will not protect the macula in the eye. Especially the sensors offered by LMI Technologies in IR are high-power - laser class 3B. Before using it please refer to the technical documentation.
