  • Publication number: 20230367029
    Abstract: A monitoring system comprising a transmitter and a receiver, the transmitter including a laser transmitter assembly selectively securable to a transmitter post between a transmitter proximate position adjacent a base end of the post and a transmitter distal position adjacent a distal end of the post, the laser transmitter assembly including a laser source arranged to project a laser beam from the transmitter, the receiver to be located a transmission distance from the transmitter and including a laser receiver assembly selectively securable to a receiver post between a receiver proximate position adjacent a base end of the post and a receiver distal position adjacent a distal end of the post to be aligned with the laser transmitter assembly to receive the laser beam, the laser receiver assembly including a detector to detect the laser beam and generate a signal in response to a laser beam interruption event.
