7.1.3 Mounting the safety sensor
NOTICE
Detailed information on mounting the safety sensor can be found in the document "Quick Start
Guide RSL400".
Proceed as follows:
Ä Calculate the necessary safety distance and determine the required additional distances for your appli-
cation.
Ä Determine the mounting location.
• Observe the information regarding the mounting locations; see chapter 7.1.2 "Suitable mounting loca-
tions"
• Ensure that machine parts, safety guards or covers do not impair the safety sensor's field of vision.
• Make sure that the scanning range of the safety sensor is not limited. To mount the safety sensor tak-
ing the scanning range into consideration, a template must be attached to the top cover of the safety
sensor.
