Mounting
The positioning sensor can be mounted in the following ways:
• Mounting using four M4 mounting threads on the rear of the device
• Mounting using two M4 mounting threads on each of the side surfaces of the device
• Mounting on a 12 mm rod using the BTU 320M-D12 mounting system
• Mounting on the BT 320M mounting bracket
NOTICE
Ä
Mount the device on a metal mounting bracket.

Determining the mounting position of the positioning sensor
6.1.1
Selecting a mounting location
NOTICE
The size of the marker influences the maximum working distance. Therefore, when selecting a
mounting location and/or the suitable marker, be certain to take into account the different posi-
tioning characteristics of the sensor with various markers.
NOTICE
Observe when choosing the mounting location!
Ä
Make certain that the required environmental conditions (humidity, temperature) are main-
tained.
Ä
Avoid possible soiling of the reading window due to liquids, abrasion by boxes, or packaging
material residues.
Ä
Ensure the lowest possible chance of damage to the sensor through mechanical collision or
jammed parts.
Ä
Avoid possible ambient light influence (no direct sunlight).
Take the following factors into account when selecting the correct mounting location:
• Size, orientation, and position tolerance of the markers on the objects to be scanned.
• Reading distance that results from the marker size (see chapter 6.1.3 "Determining the working dis-
tance").
• Time of data output.
• The permissible line lengths between sensor and host system depending on which interface is used.
• Visibility of the control panel and access to the control buttons.
