Mounting requirements
NOTICE
Radio interference may occur when the sensor is used in residential areas!
Only use the device in industrial environments (EN 61000-6-4).
■
Typical space requirements for sensor,
see "Mechanics/electronics", page 35
.
■
Comply with technical data, such as the permitted ambient conditions for oper‐
ation of the sensor (e.g., temperature range, EM interference emissions),
.
■
To prevent condensation, avoid exposing the sensor to rapid changes in tempera‐
ture.
■
Protect the sensor from direct sunlight.
■
Only mount the sensor using the screw connections provided for this purpose.
Mounting location
When selecting the mounting location, the following factors must be considered:
■
The mounting location must be as free from (electro)magnetic disturbance fields
as possible.
■
Mounting the sensor requires a C-slot that runs parallel to the magnet’s axis of
motion.
■
The distance (length of cable) to the IO-Link master must not exceed 20 m.
Equipment required
■
Tool and tape measure.
5.1.2
Scope of delivery
The sensor’s scope of delivery includes:
■
1 MPS-C sensor in the version ordered
■
1 set of quick-start instructions
■
1 “IO-Link” leaflet
