Best practice
Mounting sensor and reflector
l
The 'Dimensions' screen shows the sides where the sensor and reflector are to be moun-
ted. If necessary, use , the “Camera” icon to rotate the view on the screen to allow
machines be viewed as they physically appear.
l
Mount the brackets directly on the shafts or couplings.
l
Mount sensor and reflector as low as possible on the supplied support posts. The coup-
lings must not block the path of the laser beam.
l
Mount sensor on the machine designated stationary and reflector on the machine des-
ignated moveable.
l
Both sensor and reflector must not touch one another or the machine casings during
shaft rotation.
Entering dimensions
l
Dimensions measured to 3 mm (+ 1/8 in.) using a tape measure with 1 mm (
or 1/32 in.) divisions are acceptable.
l
When entering the dimension between the front and back feet, use the distance between
the center of the two foot bolts.
l
When measuring any dimensions from the sensor, ensure that the tape measure reading
starts at the arrow tip (
1 ) of the marking on top of the sensor.
If using an industrial tape measure, insert the hook in the distance marking slot at the
arrow tip (
1 ).
Initializing sensor
l
Should “communication error” occur, tap detector area below the hint “Communication
error” then tap “Sensor list” to check whether the sensor has been detected.
l
Any new Bluetooth connection must initially be scanned before communication between
sensor and the rugged device can be established. The scanning process is prompted by
