Mounting requirements
The LMS1xx must be mounted as follows:
Robust
As far as possible without shocks
As far as possible without vibration
Mounting kits
The following mounting kits are available:
Mounting kit 1a: mounting bracket for mounting at the rear on wall or machine (see
Mounting kit 1b: mounting bracket for mounting at the rear on wall or machine, with
protection for the optics cover (see
)
Mounting kit 2: mounting bracket, only in conjunction with mounting bracket 1a or 1b,
cross-wise adjustment possible (see
Mounting kit 3: mounting plate, only in conjunction with mounting bracket 2, length-
wise adjustment possible (see
)
As an alternative you can use a strong stable mounting bracket that provides adjustable
alignment of the LMS1xx in the X- and Y axis. The LMS1xx weighs approx. 1.1 kg.
Risk to damage due to overheating!
Mount the LMS1xx such that it is not exposed to direct sunlight (if necessary fit canopy). In
this way an inadmissible increase in the temperature inside the sensor is avoided.
3.13.3
Distance between LMS1xx and the object/surface to be monitored
The laser beam diverges with increasing distance from the LMS1xx. In the scan area the
floor or a wall may then be continuously detected, as the laser beam is incident on it.

Increase in the size of the beam and safety supplement
The optical axis is used as the reference plane for the distance to be maintained from the
floor or the wall; on a vertically mounted LMS1xx this axis is approx. 116 mm above the
bottom edge of the housing.
Safety supplement
