Installation and mounting
5.2 Steps for mounting the device
Special features to note during mounting:
Always mount the sender and receiver parallel to one another.
During mounting, make sure that sender and receiver are aligned correctly. The optical
lens systems of sender and receiver must be located in exact opposition to each other;
the display elements must be mounted at the same height. The system plugs of both
devices must point in the same direction.
Take suitable measures to attenuate vibration if the shock requirements are above the
values given in chapter 11.1 “Data sheet” on page 69.
Observe the safety distance of the system during mounting. On this topic read the
chapter “Determining the safety distance” on page 37.
Connect a maximum of three systems into a cascaded system.
Always connect sender-sender and receiver-receiver within a system configuration.
Mount the safety light curtain such that the hazardous point cannot be reached from be-
low, above or behind the safety light curtain and that the light curtain cannot be reposi-
tioned.
Once the system is mounted, one or several of the enclosed self-adhesive safety infor-
mation labels must be affixed.
– Use only labels in the language which the operators of the machine understand.
– Affix the information labels such that they are easily visible by the operators during
operation. After attaching additional objects and equipment, the information labels
must not be concealed from view.
– Affix the information label “Important Notices” to the system in close proximity to
sender and receiver.
– Operation with floating blanking: Affix the information label for floating blanking to
each sender or receiver so configured. Mark the effective resolution on the information
label.
– For operation with reduced resolution: Affix the information label for reduced resolu-
tion to each sender or receiver so configured. Mark the effective resolution on the in-
formation label.
