Diffuse sensor
Required tools: 2, 5 and 3 mm hex keys, 10 mm open-end wrench, 3 mm Phillips
head screwdriver
All of the components for the diffuse sensor must be pre-assembled before they are
mounted to Robotino
®
•
1 fibre-optic unit
and connected.
The following components are required for each sensor:
•
1 fibre-optic cable
•
1 retainer for the fibre-optic cable
First of all, cut the two fibre-optic cables to the required length. It is absolutely
essential to use a fibre-optic cutting device to this end, in order to assure that the
fibre-optic cables are no destroyed, and to ensure error-free functioning. Screw the
fibre-optic head into the mounting bracket until it protrudes from the other side by
approximately 2 mm. Secure it with the included nut. When the mounting brackets
are attached to the chassis during a later assembly step, it must be assured that the
sensors are located at the inside ends of the slots. Otherwise, the distance between
the sensors cannot be changed.
Insert the free end of the fibre-optic cable into the black retainer in the fibre-optic
unit. Push it all the way in until resistance is plainly perceived. Tighten the retainer
with the Phillips head screw.
