Steps for mounting the device
WARNING
Special features to note during mounting:
>
Always mount the sender and receiver parallel to one another.
>
During mounting, make sure that sender and receiver are aligned correctly. The optical
lens systems of sender and receiver must be located in exact opposition to each other;
the display elements must be mounted at the same height. The system plugs of both de-
vices must point in the same direction.
>
Observe the safety distance of the system during mounting. Refer to chapter “Determin-
ing the safety distance” on page 22.
>
Connect a maximum of three systems into a cascaded system.
>
Always connect sender-sender and receiver-receiver within a system configuration.
>
Mount the safety light curtain such that the point of danger cannot be reached from
below, above and behind the safety light curtain and that the light curtain cannot be
shifted.
Fig. 18: The correct installation
(above) must rule out the
errors (below) reaching below,
reaching above and reaching
behind.
>
Once the system is mounted, one or several of the enclosed self-adhesive safety labels
must be affixed.
– Use only labels in the language which the operators of the machine speak.
– Affix the notice labels such that they are easily visible by the users/operators during
operation. After attaching additional objects and equipment, the notice labels must
not be concealed from view.
– Affix the notice label “Important Notices” to the system immediately close to sender
and receiver.
– Operation with floating blanking: Affix the notice label for floating blanking to each
sender or receiver so configured. Mark the effective resolution on the notice label.
– For operation with reduced resolution: Affix the notice label for reduced resolution to
each sender or receiver so configured. Mark the effective resolution on the notice la-
bel.
