Notes on mounting
Mount the TiM361S safety-related laser scanner using the optionally available
mounting accessories (see chapter 3.4 "Accessories").
Mount the TiM361S on a prepared bracket. The sensor should be mounted and
operated as free from shock and vibration as possible.
The TiM361S can be mounted in any position depending on the application
purpose.
Mount the TiM361S so that it is not exposed to direct sunlight (window, skylight)
or other sources of heat. This prevents the temperature inside the device from
increasing unacceptably as well as the reduction or loss of detection capability.
During mounting, make sure there is no reflective surface behind the internal
reference target (see chapter 3.3 "Device Structure").
In general, the mounting position of the sensor should be chosen such that in the
sensor’s rear range (behind the internal reference target, see chapter 3.3 "Device
Structure"), dazzle due to other light sources is excluded, in order to prevent
reduction or loss of detection capability.
4.2
Mutual interference
The TiM361S safety-related laser scanner has been designed to minimize the
probability of mutual interference with sensors of the same type as the TiM361S. To
rule out even the slightest effects on the measurement accuracy, the devices should be
arranged such the laser beams are not received by another device.
