Mounting the Sensor 

Depending on the specific conditions of the elevator, the sensor head can be mounted directly on the cabin 
body (e.g. cabin roof) or cabin frame. Optionally, the sensor can be mounted on the cabin via the two mount-
ing holes in the sensor housing or via the optional mounting angle. 

 

 

 

 
 
 

OBSERVE MOUNTING DIRECTION! 

 

When mounting the sensor, make sure that the side with the connections and LEDs points 
downwards towards the shaft pit (sensor underside). The other side with the orange guide lock 
must point upwards in the positive counting direction (sensor upper side).  

 

A wrong direction does not provide correct values!

direction (towards the shaft head).

Via Mounting Holes in the Housing 

For this purpose, two M3 threaded holes with a suitable drilling distance of 60.4 mm (see section 

 8.2) must 

be prepared on the side of the cabin or on the holding device used. Then the sensor can be mounted with two 
M3 screws (according to DIN 933).   

 

9.3.2

 

Via Mounting Angle (recommended) 

The 90° mounting angle (see 

 14.1 Accessories) hat two mounting surfaces. The short side has suitable 

mounting holes to screw it to the sensor. The long side with the two slotted holes is used to fix the angle on the 
cabin roof (as shown in the right figure below).  

 

 

Figure 8: Mounting Angle (accessorial part)

 

For this purpose, the mounting surface has two slotted holes at a distance of 25 mm (see left figure above), 
which are designed for mounting with M8 hexagon head screws (according to DIN 933) and suitable washers. 
Two M8 threaded holes must first be prepared on the cabin roof. 
 
Advantage of the mounting angle:  

 

The two elongated holes provide more flexibility, as the sensor can be moved within a range of 55 mm and thus 

individually adapted to the mechanical conditions.
