Emitter/receiver pairs can be spaced from 0.1 m (4 in) to 8 m (26.2 ft) apart. This distance is reduced if corner mirrors are
used.
Optional EZLSA-MBK-11 end-mount brackets allow ±23° rotation, can be mounted with flange out or flange in, and in 90°
increments. Optional EZLSA-MBK-12 center-mount brackets allow 30° rotation in one direction and 15° in the other (see
Mounting the End-Mount Brackets
on page 29 and
Mounting the Center- and Side-Mount Brackets
on page 30).
Center- and side-mount brackets allow "no blind zone" mounting with minimal or no "gaps" in detection.
EZLSA-MBK-12 or EZLSA-MBK-16 side-mount bracket must be used with longer sensors if they are subject to shock or
vibration. In such situations, the sensors are designed to be mounted with up to 910 mm unsupported distance (between
brackets). Sensors 980 mm and longer are supplied with one additional center-mount bracket.

• See
Sensor Mounting and Mechanical Alignment
page 31 for additional mounting recommendations.
• The machine interface connector ends of both
sensors must point in the same direction.
• Two brackets are supplied with each EZLSA-MBK-11
kit. Additional EZLSA-MBK-12 center-mount
bracket(s) may be required (see
• Loosely mount the brackets to the desired surface
using the bolts and nuts supplied with the bracket kit,
or user-supplied hardware. (Use the M5 hardware to
mount the brackets to the light curtain; use the M6
hardware to mount the brackets to the machine.)
• Brackets are designed to mount directly to MSA
Series stands using the hardware supplied with the
stands.
• Brackets may face in (shown on bottom) or out
(shown on top), as desired.
• See
on page 65 for
mounting bracket dimensions.
1. From a common point of reference (ensuring the calculated minimum safety distance), measure to position the
emitter and receiver in the same plane, with their midpoints directly opposite each other, and locate and drill
mounting holes if necessary.
2. Slide the end-mount bracket onto the side mounting channels and tighten the channel screws.
3. Position the emitter and receiver, and attach the flange to the mounting holes.
4. Verify that the sensor windows directly face each other by rotating the sensor(s), then tighten the bracket screws.
5. 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
Tool (see
on page 67) or check the diagonal distances between the sensors, to achieve
Sensor Mounting and Mechanical Alignment
6. Temporarily tighten all fasteners that allow for adjustment. Final alignment procedures are explained in
