Sensors for Roller Conveyor Systems
5. Installation and Electrical Connection
5.1 Installation
• Protect the product from contamination during installation.
• Observe all applicable electrical and mechanical regulations, standards, and safety rules.
• Protect the product against mechanical influences.
• Make sure that the sensor is mounted in a mechanically secure fashion.
• Specified torque values must be complied with
(see section “3.1 Dimensional Drawings”, page 9)
The sensors must be mounted between the rollers (
Minimum clearance at the side: 2 mm)
roughly 10 mm below
the height of the conveyed goods. Adjustment of the sensors is not absolutely necessary. Permissible
object dimensions must be complied with
(see section “5.1.3 Permissible Object Dimensions”, page 16)
Mounting is possible with wenglor’s ZPTX001 or ZPTX003 quick mounting system or the ZPTX002 mounting
bracket (not included in scope of delivery). The sensors can also be attached to any retaining system via the
mounting holes with M4 screws.
NOTE!
• It’s advisable to mount the sensor in an upwardly inclined position for the detection
of high-gloss, black plastic containers on narrow conveyor systems (lane width
< 500 mm).
