Sensor Mounting and Mechanical Alignment
page 34 for additional mounting recommendations.
•
The machine interface connector ends of both sensors
must point in the same direction.
•
The sensors are designed to be mounted with up to
910 mm of unsupported distance between brackets
when they are subject to shock or vibration.
•
Loosely mount the brackets to the desired surface
using the supplied M5 bolts and nuts, or user-supplied
hardware.
•
A simple "L" mounting bracket can be created by dis-
assembling the EZLSA-MBK-11 and only using the
mounting flange.

on page 68 for
mounting bracket dimensions.
1. From a common point of reference (ensuring the calculated minimum safety distance), measure to locate the emitter
and receiver in the same plane, with their midpoints directly opposite each other, and locate and drill mounting holes
if necessary.
2. Attach the mounting flange of the EZLSA-MBK-12 to the mounting holes (back-mount only).
3. Remove the channel nuts from the EZLSA-MBK-12 clamp and slide them into the side mounting channel. A small
piece of adhesive tape can be use to temporarily location the nuts within the channel.
4. Position the emitter and receiver and re-assemble the clamp to the channel nuts. Tighten when the sensor is properly
located.
5. Rotate sensor(s) so that the windows directly face each other. Tighten the screw.
6. Measure from a reference plane, for example, a level building floor, to the same point(s) on the emitter and receiver
to verify their mechanical alignment. Use a carpenter’s level, a plumb bob, or the optional LAT-1 Laser Alignment
on page 70) or check the diagonal distances between the sensors, to achieve mechanical
alignment.

5.2.4 EZLSA-MBK-16 Side-Mount Bracket
The EZLSA-MBK-16 provides a mounting option that is adjustable (lateral and +15/-20° rotational) from the face of the
sensor and allows "no blind zone" mounting with minimal or no "gaps" in detection. The bracket can be mounted to a surface
on the back or the side of the sensor (not typically to be used in conjugation with EZLSA-MBK-11 end-mount bracket).
