Fix the sensor to the bypass at the requested height with common cable ties� 

Insert the cable ties through the existing openings of the mounting adapter and 

tighten them firmly�

B:  width of the mounting adapter = 36

 

Align the sensing face (1) to the object� 

 

Adhere to the indicated minimum distances to metallic objects opposite and 

beside the sensor (free space)�

 

Non-metallic objects (e�g� plastic fixtures) are allowed within the lateral free 

space�

 

Fix the sensor with appropriate fixing screws to the designated location�

 

If the sensor is installed behind a plastic plate (2), the object will be detected 

through the wall. Depending on the material used and the wall thickness the 

sensor characteristics might change slightly. Do not use conductive plastics! If 

possible, use thin walls�
