•
In an area before and after the measuring station, the conveying equipment must run
straight and evenly. The conveyor belt must have a uniform and flat surface. The front
and back area corresponds to the maximum length of the measuring object (see also
chapter
3.7 Nominal operating conditions
).
NOTE!
If the specific installation position of the measuring system fails to satisfy this
requirement, the maximum length for the measuring objects must be restricted
accordingly and indicated on the identification label (see section
).
•
Positive or negative slopes of the conveying equipment must be kept flat enough to
prevent the measuring objects from sliding.
•
The conveying equipment must not have any shiny or reflective surfaces. This can have
a negative impact on the measurement results.
•
No guides for measuring objects may be installed in the vicinity of the measuring
station.
•
The required minimum distances and restrictions, which depend on the operating
mode and transport conditions, must be met (see section
).
