Mechanical Mounting Conditions 

The casing consists of a rugged, corrosion-resistant extruded aluminum profile 
with  front-side  and  rear-side  covers  also  in  corrosion-resistant  design.  Four 
mounting holes are provided in the base plate for mechanical attachment  of 
the LDM41E-h and LDM42E-h. 

 

Figure 3 : Dimensional drawing 

To  protect  the  sensor’s  optical  surfaces  from  dust,  physical  contact, 
mechanical  impacts,  etc.,  the  casing  has  a  protection  tube  attached  to  it. 
Optionally  different  protection  windows  and  optical  filters  are  available. 
Please note that measurement  cannot  be guaranteed to function correctly if 
the equalizer tube is removed by unqualified action!  

The  interface  connector  is  located  on  the  back  cover.  Interface  cables  with 
different length are available (standard 2 m, optionally 5 or 10 m).
