Mounting procedure
Minimum bend radius
ATTENTION
Destruction of the fiber-optic cable
The fiber-optic cable can be destroyed by a small bend
radius.
For this reason:
• Do not allow the fiber-optic cable to go below the mini-
mum bend radius of 80 mm.
The optical sensor head is securely connected to the evaluation unit upon
delivery.
1. Select the mounting site for the evaluation unit and the optical sensor
head of the RS25 register sensor based on the information in the next
chapter, "Requirements at the mounting site".
2. Mount the evaluation unit and optical sensor head using the fixing
holes.

Requirements at the mounting site
The mounting site must meet the following requirements:
• For technical data,
→
• Sensing range: 10 mm
The sensing range is the distance from the front edge (housing edge) of
the optical sensor head to the object with the print marks.
• In the case of high-gloss backgrounds, maintain a tilt angle of 5 to 15°
for the optical sensor head.

See the Page 23, Fig. 9 and Page
Assembly optical sensor head
for diffuse marks and diffuse
background
Transmitter and receiver are placed at an angle of 30° to each other in
the optical sensor head. If the optical sensor head is installed in parallel to
the background, only the diffuse reflections will reach the receiver and are
detected by it. The directly reflecting reflections will not reach the receiver.

See Page 23, Fig. 8.
The placement according to figure Fig. 8. is suitable for diffuse marks and
a diffuse background.
