4.1 Mounting
The linescanner protective housing requires a solid vibration-free mounting stand. The protective housing comes
with a mounting bracket, adjustable 90° in all 3 axes. To mount the protective housing onto the sensor stand, e.g.
on a tower, make a mounting plate with two 8.5 mm (0.31 in.) diameter mounting holes, as shown below. The
mounting bracket is 150 mm (5.9 in) high.

Preparing the protective housing to be mounted on the sensor stand
Open the protective housing from the back to access to the internal components. On the bottom of the box, there
is a rail/carrier system on which the linescanner will be mounted. Open the latches on both sides of the rail, loosen
the bolt on top of the carrier and take off the carrier. Mount the linescanner onto the carrier using the 4 M6 x 12
screws provided. Connect the earth ground to the top of the linescanner. To install the ground on the left mounting
thread, use a M6 x 12 hex head screw with washer and lock washer.
Mounting the protective channel and the window
Open the front door of the protective housing. Mount the protective field-of-view channel on the front side by using
6 M4 x 12 bolts. The slotted side of the protection channel faces downwards. The bolts must be inserted from
inside the box (i.e. the nuts are outside).
Note
Make sure that the drain hole for rain water in the protective channel faces downwards!
