Mounting
Observe the minimum distance of the system during mounting. On this subject read
chapter 7.1 “Determining the minimum distance” on page 64.
Mount the multiple light beam safety device such that the risk of failure to detect is ex-
cluded. Ensure that the protective device cannot be bypassed by crawling underneath,
reaching over, climbing between 2 beams, jumping over or moving the multiple light
beam safety device.
Once the system is mounted, one or several of the enclosed self-adhesive information
labels must be affixed:
– Use only information labels in the language which the users and operators of the
machine understand.
– Affix the information labels such that they are easily visible by the users and opera-
tors during operation. After attaching additional objects and equipment, the informa-
tion labels must not be concealed from view.
– Affix the information label “Important Notices” to the system in close proximity to
sender and receiver.
When mounting a M4000 with integrated laser alignment aid, ensure that the laser
warning labels on the device remain visible. If the laser warning labels are covered, e.g.
on installation of the M4000 in a device column (accessory), you must apply the laser
warning labels supplied with the receiver in the appropriate place on the cover.
Sender and receiver can be mounted in five different ways:
Mounting with Omega bracket
Mounting with swivel mount bracket
Mounting with side bracket
Mounting with rigid mounting bracket
Mounting with pivoting mounting bracket
