Detection Coverage
The angle and height of mounting determine the monitored width.
The example shown on the chart is for a sensor mounted 0.8m above the transit path at an
angle of 0°. This provides a maximum monitored width of 1.3m which would be suitable for
most coal conveyors. Should the most practical mounting height (e.g. 1m) produce a wider
view field than the conveyor this is perfectly acceptable, so long as the “overlap” on each
side is not so large that external hot targets, such as vehicles on an adjacent roadway, are
within the units view.
3.2 Supply / Signal Cable
The Type 5610 Detector outer case has 3 x 20mm cable entries as standard,
Cable terminations are made at rising clamp screw terminal connectors located within the
inner module. The terminals accept wires of up to 1.5mm² (15AWG). Refer to section 2.7
for connections.
To access the terminals it is necessary to remove the lid / fascia and the internal detector
assembly. This is achieved by releasing the outer locking 3mm hexagonal grub screw, then
unscrewing the lid. To remove the internal detector assembly, unscrew the two fixings
labeled A & B (see fig. 13). The detector assembly is connected to the termination board
via a ribbon cable and plug/socket.
