Mounting with O

C

Fix bracket 

Using the O

A

Fix bracket you can mount the safety light curtain flat, e.g. directly on the 

machine base. 

 

The O

A

Fix bracket is mounted at the top and bottom of the miniTwin2 safety light curtain. 

The length of the related Twin Stick is increased by ca. 13 mm by the O

A

Fix bracket (see 

dimensional drawing in section 9.3.2 on page 69). 

How to mount the miniTwin2 using O

C

Fix brackets: 

First mount the two O

A

Fix brackets in the correct positions, however do not tighten the 

fixing screws yet. 
Insert the Twin Stick between the two O

A

Fix brackets. In applications in which high 

vibration may occur, bond the Twin Stick to the mounting surface in the middle of the 
device using double-sided adhesive tape from a device length of 600 mm (see 

in 

Fig. 19 on page 30). 
Then fasten the screws of the O

A

Fix bracket to a torque of 5 Nm. Higher torques can 

damage the brackets; lower torques provide inadequate protection against 
displacement.
