5 Mounting
5.1 Mounting instructions
• Observe the technical data.
• Protect the sensor from direct and indirect sunlight.
• To prevent condensation, avoid exposing the device to rapid changes in tempera‐
ture.
• The mounting site has to be designed for the weight of the device.
• Ensure a good dissipation of excess heat from the device to the surroundings, in
particular at higher ambient temperatures. Good heat transfer from the device can
be achieved, for example, by using a bracket on the mounting base or by ensuring
that the back of the device is located at a sufficient distance from the wall of an
enclosure.
5.2 Preparation for mounting
5.2.1 Installation requirements
Mounting requirements
• Typical space requirement: see type-specific dimensional drawing
• Comply with the technical data, such as the permitted ambient conditions for
operation,
see "Technical data", page 45 .
• Only mount the device using the threaded mounting holes provided or the movable
sliding nuts.
• The surface over which the AGV moves must be level.
• Make sure the device has a clear view of the codes.
Auxiliary equipment required
■
Mounting system with sufficient load-bearing capacity and suitable dimensions
■
4 or 2 M5 screws for mounting the device on a mounting system supplied by the
customer
The screw length depends on the mounting base (wall thickness of the bracket). When
using an optional SICK mounting system, the screws for mounting the device are
included with delivery.
5.2.2 Mounting systems
Mount the device to the mounting systems using at least 2 threaded mounting holes
(M5) or sliding nuts.
The threaded mounting holes are located on the top and bottom of the device.
The sliding nuts can each be inserted into a slot on the side of the housing.
SICK offers prefabricated mounting systems that are optimally suited for mounting the
device,
see "Accessories", page 49 .
Customer-supplied mounting system
A customer-supplied mounting system must meet the following requirements:
•
The device can be aligned in the X- and Y-axes.
•
The mounting system must be able to bear the weight of the device and connect‐
ing cables without shock.
•
Mounting options for the device using the threaded mounting holes or sliding nuts
must be available.
