Each sensor ships with two EZLSA-MBK-11 end-mount brackets. Emitters and receivers 980 mm and longer also include
one EZLSA-MBK-12 center-mount bracket. The supplied end-mount brackets allow ±23° rotation, can be mounted with
flange out or flange in, and in 90° increments. EZLSA-MBK-12 center-mount brackets allow 30° rotation in one direction
and 15° in the other. Center- and side-mount brackets allow "no blind zone" mounting with minimal or no "gaps" in
detection.
The supplied EZLSA-MBK-12 or optional EZLSA-MBK-16 side-mount bracket must be used with longer sensors if they are
subject to shock or vibration. In such situations, the sensors are designed to be mounted with up to 910 mm unsupported
distance (between brackets). Sensors 980 mm and longer are supplied with one additional center-mount bracket.

• See
Sensor Mounting and Mechanical Alignment
page 39 for additional mounting recommendations.
• The machine interface connector ends of both
sensors must point in the same direction.
• Two EZLSA-MBK-11 brackets are supplied with each
emitter and receiver. Additional EZLSA-MBK-12
center-mount bracket(s) may be required (see
Mounting the Center- and Side-Mount Brackets
page 38).
• Loosely mount the brackets to the desired surface
using the supplied bolts and nuts, or user-supplied
hardware. (Use the M5 hardware to mount the
brackets to the light curtain; use the M6 hardware to
mount the brackets to the machine.)
• Brackets are designed to mount directly to MSA
Series stands using the hardware supplied with the
stands.
• Brackets may face in (shown on bottom) or out
(shown on top), as desired.
• See
on page 88 for
mounting bracket dimensions.
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, and locate and drill
mounting holes if necessary.
2. Slide the end-mount bracket onto the side mounting channels and tighten the channel screws.
3. Position the emitter and receiver, and attach the flange to the mounting holes.
4. Verify that the sensor windows directly face each other by rotating the sensor(s), then tighten the bracket screws.
5. 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 90) or check the diagonal distances between the sensors, to achieve
Sensor Mounting and Mechanical Alignment
6. Temporarily tighten all fasteners that allow for adjustment. Final alignment procedures are explained in
