Mounting instructions
•
Observe the technical data.
•
Protect the sensor from direct 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.
•
It should be mounted so that it is exposed to as little shock and vibration as possi‐
ble. Optional mounting accessories are available,
•
In application areas with severe vibrations or shocks caused by vibrations,
jolts or abrupt changes in directions (e.g., when mounted to a manned forklift
truck), mounting with vibration dampers is to be carried out (
). Mount the device in a freely suspended manner.
•
Regularly check the tightness of the fixing screws.
•
Avoid having shiny or reflective surfaces in the scanning range, e.g., stainless
steel, aluminum, glass, reflectors, or surfaces with these types of coatings.
•
Protect the device from moisture, contamination, and damage.
•
Make sure that the status indicator is clearly visible.
•
Do not affix any labels or stickers to the optics cover.
•
Do not subject the device to excessive shock or vibrations. In systems subjected to
heavy vibrations, secure the fixing screws with screw-locking devices.

Mounting device
1.
Mount the device in a suitably prepared bracket using the fixing holes provided
(
see "Dimensional drawing", page 39
). Mounting brackets are available as acces‐
sories,
2.
Make the electrical connection. Attach and tighten the tension-free cable,
"Connecting device electrically", page 29
.
3.
Align the vertical center line of the field of view of the device with the center of the
area to be monitored. The marking on the upper side of the optics cover serves
as a bearing alignment aid. An optional alignment aid is available as an accessory
.
4.
Switch on the supply voltage.
✓
The
DEV
status LED lights up green after successful initialization. The device is
ready for use.
5.
