Mounting the S4BA-MBK-16 Side-Mount Bracket
The S4BA-MBK-16 brackets are ordered separately. Two brackets are included in each kit.
Figure 12. Side-Mount Bracket
•
Sensor Mounting and Mechanical Alignment
on page 26 for additional mounting
recommendations
•
The machine interface connector ends of both
sensors must point in the same direction
•
The sensors are designed to be mounted with up to
900 mm (35.4 in) of unsupported distance between
brackets when they are subject to shock or vibration
Note:
Note: It is best to place
brackets near the ends of each
sensor (not on end caps). Add
additional brackets per sensor as
needed to meet 900 mm
unsupported distance
requirement. This means that
300 mm to 900 mm sensors can
use two brackets per sensor,
while 1050 mm to 1800 mm
sensors should use three
brackets per sensor.

dimensions
•
The M4 bolts, washers, and nuts are user-supplied
Note:
Use washers under the
screw heads to minimize bracket
damage.
1. From a common point of reference (ensuring the calculated minimum safety distance), measure to position the
emitter and receiver in the same plane, with their midpoints directly opposite each other.
The connector ends of both sensors must point in the same direction (see
Emitter and Receiver Orientation
on page
22).
2. Mount the emitter and receiver side brackets to the desired surface with user-supplied M4 bolts, washers, and nuts.
Tighten to 2.15 N·m (19 in·lbs).
3. Loosen the M4 clamp screws on the side brackets enough to easily insert a sensor.
4. Insert each sensor in to its respective brackets with the front window facing out of the opening in the front of the
bracket.
Note:
The sensors need to lightly snap into the brackets. If the sensors will not install easily,
loosen the M4 clamp screws to allow the clamps to slide out of the way of the sensor.
5. Position the emitter and receiver windows directly facing each other.
6. Measure from a reference plane, for example, a level building floor, to the same point(s) on the emitter and receiver
to verify their mechanical alignment. Use a carpenter’s level, a plumb bob, or the optional LAT-1 Laser Alignment
Tool (see
on page 50) or check the diagonal distances between the sensors, to achieve mechanical
alignment. See
Sensor Mounting and Mechanical Alignment Verification
on page 30.
8. After the emitter and receiver alignment is completed, tighten the bracket front M4 clamp screws to 2.15 N·m (19
in·lbs).
Note:
Each bracket has two clamp screws. Both clamp screws on every bracket need to be fully
tightened to provide sufficient strength to hold the sensor. Do not reposition the sensor when the
clamps are mostly or fully tightened. Doing so could damage clamp pads.
