Attachment of a Mounting Bracket
Mounting bracket kit (BKT-7K-01)
The mounting bracket kit includes a mounting bracket, four M3 screws, and a hex wrench for attaching a vision sensor to the
bracket.
The mounting bracket has 1/4-20 screw holes, M6 screw holes, and flathead mounting holes for installing the vision sensor to
a mounting surface.
Precautions
• It is recommended the vision sensor be grounded, either by installing the vision sensor to a fixture that is electrically
grounded or by connecting a wire from the vision sensor's fixture to frame ground or Earth ground.
• When a ground wire is used, it should be attached to one of the four mounting points on the back plate of the vision sensor.
Do not attach it to the mounting point on the front of the vision sensor.
• When attaching a mounting bracket to a vision sensor, use M3 screws supplied with the mounting bracket kit.
• When using 1/4-20 screw holes or M6 screw holes on the mounting bracket to secure a vision sensor to a mounting
surface, the insertion depth of the screws should not exceed 7 mm.
Inserting screws deeper than 7 mm can damage the vision sensor.
Operating procedure
1.
Align the bracket with the mounting holes on the vision sensor.
2.
Insert M3 screws into the mounting holes, and tighten them using a 2.5 mm hex wrench.
The maximum tightening torque is 0.90 N ⋅ m.
