Chapter 6 Installation and Wiring
Use additional side mounting brackets in vibration applications for protective
heights of 1050 mm (41.3 in.) and larger. Position and mount the additional
bracket in the middle of each stick.
The required screwdriver type for installation of the side mounting kit is a hex
tip screwdriver for M6 screws.
Figure 61 - Correct and Incorrect Positioning of the Side Mounting Bracket
Position the side mount brackets close to the gray end cap. Position additional
brackets so that the distance between each bracket is equal (symmetric). The
optical interface device 450L-AD-OID (see
Optical Interface Device (OID) on
) can also be installed in combination with the side mounting
brackets.
Shock Mounting Kit
Special shock mount brackets are offered for applications that exhibit shock
and vibration (
). For vertical installations, the vibration
damper (445L-AF6142) can be used in combination with the standard
L-shaped top/bottom mounting bracket and side mounting.
IMPORTANT
Use side mounting brackets and, or instead of, the top/bottom
mounting kits in vibration applications.
