Securing the distance sensor with hexagonal socket screw
NOTICE
The hexagon socket screw must be sufficiently tightened (with a torque of at least
3 Nm). Do not counter the hexagonal socket screw.

Aligning distance sensor
When aligning the distance sensor, you can select between two processes, which you
can also combine:
NOTE
When using the alignment laser, make sure this laser is located about 30 mm
above the measuring laser,
. The max. angular deviation
between the measuring laser optics axis and alignment laser optics axis is 4 mrad
(4 mm per meter distance from the front device edge).
Switch alignment laser on/off,
"Switching the laser on and off", page 79
.
If the alignment laser is not visible when aligning on natural surfaces due to a
large distance or a bright environment, temporary use of (retro-reflective) reflective
tape on the measuring object surface is recommended.
■
Alignment using the alignment laser:
Align the distance sensor so that the light spot of the measuring laser hits the
center of the measuring object.
■
Alignment using the signal level display in the device display, via SOPAS ET or
PROFIBUS:
Align the distance sensor so that a level maximum is displayed at the expected
distance. Recommended at large distances at which the light spot of the align‐
ment laser might no longer be detected with precision.
