Mounting the AMV/S 60 Connection Module
1.
Mount the AMV/S 60 Connection Module near the CLV.
The distance between the AMV/S 60 and CLV should not exceed max. 10 m (32.8 ft).
2.
Mount the AMV/S 60 in such a way that accessed to the open device is always possi-
ble. The terminal interface of the CLV is accessed via the internal "Service" plug.

(order no. 8 008 296).
4.4.2
Mounting the external reading pulse sensor
If the CLV is triggered by an external reading pulse sensor, the sensor must be mounted in
the vicinity of the CLV. The "Sensor" switching input is selected as the default trigger source
for this trigger type. The default debounce time of the input is 30 ms.
shows two examples of where a photoelectric reflex switch can be mounted. This
depends on the distance a from the bar code to the front of the object. Depending on the
application, you may need to mount the sensor in such a way that bar codes on objects of
different sizes can be read completely during the reading interval.
