Mounting
4.2.1
Mounting direction of the Twin Sticks
The miniTwin2 safety light curtain comprises two
identical Twin Sticks
of small size. Each
Twin Stick contains both a sender unit and a receiver unit (Fig. 1). The two Twin Sticks are
mounted such that sender unit and receiver unit are opposite each other. The housing
shape makes mounting intuitive.
After the electrical installation, you can check the quality of the alignment of the safety
light curtain (see section 6.2 on page 53). Please ensure even during mounting that the
Twin Sticks are aligned.
