• See
Sensor Mounting and Mechanical Alignment
on
page 31 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.
• See
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
Tool (see
on page 67) or check the diagonal distances between the sensors, to achieve
mechanical alignment.
7. Temporarily tighten all fasteners that allow for adjustment. Final alignment procedures are explained in
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).
