5.1 Preparation
Unpacking the unit
1. Check that all package contents are present and undamaged.
If anything is damaged, inform the shipper and contact the supplier.
2. Check that all items are present and correct based on your order and the
shipping documents.
If you have any questions, please contact Pepperl+Fuchs.
3. Keep the original packing material in case you need to store or ship the unit at
a later time.
5.2 Mounting the Device
The surface must be level to prevent the housing from becoming distorted when
the fittings are tightened. After mounting the sensor, ensure that there is still
enough space to connect the connection cable to the sensor.
Note!
Mounting an optical device
■ Do not aim the sensor at the sun.
■ Protect the sensor from direct long-term exposure to sun.
■ Prevent condensation from forming by not exposing the sensor to any
major fluctuations in temperature.
■ Do not expose the sensor to the effects of any aggressive chemicals.
■ Keep the lenses and reflector of the device clean. Clean with a soft cloth,
using standard commercial glass cleaner if necessary.
We recommend to clean the optical surface and to check screw fittings and
electrical connections at regular intervals.
Note!
Preventing reflection and glare
Reflection and glare from reflective surfaces can impair the captured image and
therefore lead to incorrect readings. To prevent reflection and glare, install the
stationary reading device at a slight angle.
