Mounting instructions
•
The mounting site has to be designed for the weight of the device.
•
Mount the device on a prepared bracket using suitable screws (M4). The screws
are not included in the scope of delivery. Optionally available mounting accesso‐
ries,
.
•
The device should be mounted and operated as free from shock and vibration as
possible.
•
The device can be mounted in any orientation to suit the particular application.
•
Mount the device so that it is not exposed to direct sunlight (window, skylight)
or other sources of heat. This prevents the temperature inside the device from
increasing unacceptably, or a reduction or loss of detection capability.
•
Observe the technical data.
•
To prevent condensation, avoid exposing the device to rapid changes in tempera‐
ture.
5.2
Mutual interference
NOTE
Optical sensors and other IR light sources can influence the measurement and detec‐
tion capabilities of the device.
The device has been designed to minimize the probability of mutual interference with
devices of the same type. To rule out even the slightest effects on the measurement
accuracy, the devices should be arranged such the laser beams are not received by
another device.
The following requirements apply when using several devices in the application.
It is necessary to maintain a minimum axial distance of d = 100 mm to avoid any such
effects.

Figure 16: Minimum axial distance
When two devices are mounted opposite each other, avoid aligning them in such a
way that the light source of one device hits the other in the optical receiving area. The
typical specific minimum rotationally symmetrical angle is
α
> 1.4°.
