Steps for mounting the device
Special features to note during mounting:
Always mount the Twin Sticks on a flat surface.
During mounting, ensure that the safety light curtain is aligned correctly. The two
housings for the Twin Sticks must be exactly opposite each other.
Take suitable measures to attenuate vibration if the shock requirements are above the
values given in section 9.1 “Data sheet” on page 64.
Observe the minimum distance of the system during mounting. On this subject read the
section 4.1 “Determining the minimum distance” on page 22.
Mount the safety light curtain such that reaching under, reaching over or standing
behind the safety light curtain is not possible and that the safety light curtain cannot be
displaced.
Once the system is mounted, one or several of the enclosed self-adhesive safety
information labels must be affixed:
–
Use only information labels which the operators of the machine can understand.
–
Affix the information labels such that they are easily visible by the operators during
operation. After attaching additional objects and equipment, the information labels
must not be concealed from view.
–
Affix the information label “Important Information” to the system in close proximity to
the miniTwin2.
