5.1 Installation conditions
u
Install the device so that the object to be detected is within the sensor’s detection zone.
Reflecting objects in the direct beam path of the sensor – also outside the detection zone – are
to be avoided by the customer (tilt the sensor by 10°). Otherwise the measured values can be
distorted.

5.3 Installation instructions
5.3.1 Avoidance of soiling and ambient light
Preferably align photoelectric sensors with the front lens facing downwards or parallel to the earth’s
surface.
Background:
•
Photoelectric sensors are sensitive to direct radiation of light sources. Everyday light sources
(lamps, sun) radiate from above.
•
Photoelectric sensors react sensitively to soiling, as it reduces the excess gain.
Dust deposits can be reduced by downwards or sideways orientation. This allows for longer
cleaning intervals.
Make sure that sensors installed with their front lens facing upwards are not oriented towards
roof windows or ceiling lamps.
5.3.2 Sensor alignment for a moving object
The sensor has to be installed in a way to ensure that the object is moved into the detection zone of
the sensor from the side or from the front.
