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 Technical Data on
.
The following installation instructions must be observed in order to assure that the sensor can function cor-
rectly:
5.1.1 Reference Setup
All sensor values are based on a reference setup which demonstrates the following characteristics:
• The P1ELxxx sensor and the conveyor belt’s zero level (conveyor level) are arranged at a right angle to
each other.
• The conveyor level doesn’t fluctuate at all.
• The sensor is mounted such that the bottom edge of the emitted light band is at the conveyor level.
• The sensor’s light band is parallel to the conveyor level (max. tolerance: +0/–2 mm).
• The utilized reflector is inclined 2° and captures the entire light band.
