6.3.1 Mechanical mounting
The system integrator can choose to mount the APS
sensor on different places on the elevator cabin.
The installer must strictly follow the system integrators
instructions.
Mount the APS sensor using the mounting bracket
provided; see below for correct alignment.
Ensure the LEDs on the top of the sensor can be seen
at all times during installation and maintenance work.
Important: To read the code tape, the sensor needs
to maintain an uninterrupted sight of it and a constant
distance of 105 mm ± 15 mm.
Important: Make sure the APS sensor can read the
code tape at every possible elevator position, including
where it crosses into the emergency limit switch.
Mount the cable so that it is not put under any strain
e.g. with a cable conduit.
