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.
• The device can be mounted in any position.
• It should be mounted so that it is exposed to as little shock and vibration as possi‐
ble. Optional mounting accessories are available,
see "Accessories", page 48 .
• During mounting, make sure there is no reflective surface behind the reference
target,
see "Setup and dimensions", page 11 .
• To avoid inaccurate measurements when installing multiple devices: Make sure
that the laser spot of one device is not in the visible range of another device,
see
"Mutual interference", page 26 .
• 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 subject the device to excessive shock or vibrations. In systems subjected to
heavy vibrations, secure the fixing screws with screw-locking devices.
5.2 Mounting device
1. Mount the LiDAR sensor using the designated fixing holes, see "Setup and dimen‐
sions", page 11 .
2. Make the electrical connection. Attach and tighten a voltage-free cable, see "Con‐
necting the device electrically", page 33 .
3. Switch on the supply voltage.

The green operating LED lights up.
4. 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.
5.3 Mutual interference
NOTE
Optical sensors and other IR light sources can influence the measurement and detec‐
tion capabilities of the device.
The device has been designed to minimize the probability of mutual interference with
devices of the same type. To rule out even the slightest effects on the measurement
accuracy, the devices should be arranged such the laser beams are not received by
another device.
