Sensor Mounting
The 3DM - GX5 - 10 sensor housing is rated for indoor use only, unless used inside a protective
enclosure.
The sensor has two mounting tabs with holes for fastening. Mounting screws should be brass or 300
Series stainless steel. Nylon washers and thread-lock are recommended. There are two additional
holes used for precise alignment with 2mm dowel pins. One of the holes is slotted to allow for relaxed
pin positioning accuracy. The sensor can be mounted in any orientation, as required for the application
(
see Sensor Reference Frames on page 23
). The axes are labeled on the face of the sensor for
reference, and the sensor measurement origin is shown in the sensor dimensional drawing (
).
