4.0. Mount the fiber-optic cable bracket (1) to the
base of the chassis by attaching it through a slot (2) from below using 2 screws. The width of the object
to be detected determines how far apart you must install the fiber-optic cables (3) from each other.
Screw the fiber-optic cable bracket onto the designated location on the chassis. The bracket is screwed
on from below using the supplied screws (3 mm hexagon socket). Mount both brackets.
Now mount the fiber-optic unit (4) on the mounting panel of Robotino
