Mechanical design and mounting
Terabee IND-TOF-1 distance sensor offers an ABS housing and an aluminium backplate
(part of sensor housing) for robust mounting. Figure 3 illustrates external dimensions of
the distance sensor.
Figure 3. External dimensions of Terabee IND-TOF-1
The bottom casing part includes four slots for mounting the sensor using standard M4
screws. The following methods can be used to mount the Terabee IND-TOF-1:
1. Front-panel mount using the long M4 screw slots (Figure 4)
2. Back-panel mount using the 2mm ledge on the front side of the sensor (Figure 5)
The first solution allows for easy surface attachment and rapid evaluation of the sensor.
Depending on the application requirements for connector/cable position, the sensor can
be mounted both horizontally and vertically. The second solution offers the possibility to
mount the sensor behind a surface (e.g. panel), ideally with 2 mm to 3 mm thickness - for a
more integrated look. Please note that mounting components (e.g. screws, nuts, etc.) are
not included in the product packaging.
