Mounting the reflective tape
Prior to mounting the reflective tape, pay attention to the following notes:
⋅
Plan the attachment of the reflective tape exactly prior to bonding it in place. The
adhesive on the reflective tape is very resilient. It is not possible to remove the tape
again without destroying it. You will need a suitable solvent to remove the reflective
tape (see 12.2 “Accessories” on page 59).
⋅
If you must bond the reflective tape in several sections, then ensure there are no gaps,
folds or offset at the joints. The reflective tape must run seamlessly along the contour to
be monitored.
Only the longest contiguous section of the reflective tape is taught-in by the
V200/V300. If there are gaps in the reflection, the safety camera system will ignore the
shorter section of the reflective tape.
⋅
If damage to the reflective tape is to be expected due to the application, e.g. because
heavy or sharp-edged objects are to pushed over the working area, you should use one
of the following possible mounting methods:
– Mount the camera in the bottom of the frame.
– Mount the camera lower than the contact surface in front of the frame.
How to mount the reflective tape:
The reflective tape is attached by simply bonding it in place.
⋅
Clean the surface where the tape is to be attached so that it is clean of residue.
⋅
Remove the protective film on the rear of the reflective tape and apply the tape
perpendicular to the camera’s optical axis. The camera will tolerate a small divergence
from the optical axis (cf. Fig. 17ff.).
