Side Laser Installation
The following sections describe the mounting, wiring, and configuration of the Side Lasers.
1 Make location considerations and mount the Side lasers.
Refer to 3-11-1 Mounting Considerations on page 3-40 for more information.
2 Complete Side Laser wiring procedure.
Refer to 3-11-2 Side Laser Wiring Procedure on page 3-40 for more information.
3 Configure the Side Laser.
Refer to 3-11-3 Side Laser Configuration on page 3-43 for more information.
3-11-1
Mounting Considerations
Make the following considerations before mounting the Side Lasers to the payload structure.
• When mounting Side Lasers on the payload structure, you must determine an appropriate mounting
location and method. The Side Lasers must be mounted in an orientation so that their scanning
planes are vertical and parallel to the AMR X-axis. They must be in the same orientation that is used
on the default AMR mounting location (rotation and X,Y-axis orientation).
• The Side Lasers must be mounted far enough away from physical objects on the AMR system so
that the scanning plane is not impeded by part of the AMR or the structure itself.
• Select a location on the payload structure and mount the Side Laser using two user provided M5
screws. Refer to Side Laser Dimensions on page 2-5 for more information.
• Since Side Lasers may protrude from the payload structure, consider adding protective covers (in-
cluded in Side Laser Kit part number 73945-01).
• Choose cable extension routes that avoids sharp bends, pinch points, and chaffing to prevent dam-
age to the sheath. Securely fasten all cables to prevent entanglement.
• When installing Side Lasers on the payload structure, you will need to set the configuration parame-
ters in MobilePlanner and update the X, Y, and Z positions of the Side Lasers. Refer to 3-11-3 Side
Laser Configuration on page 3-43 for more information.

Side Laser Wiring Procedure
Use the following procedure to install the Side Laser wiring after mounting the Side Lasers.
This procedure details the wiring procedure of one of the Side Lasers and should be repeated for the
other Side Laser.
A Side Laser Kit is required for this procedure. The kit contains the following items:
• Two supplementary laser assemblies
• Two open ended M12 A coded power cables, 2 m
• Two M12 D coded RJ45 network cables, 2 m
• Four Ferrules
The following items are required for this procedure:
• Wire stripper
• Ferrule crimper
