Mounting
6.4 Steps for mounting the device
Special features to note during mounting:
Always mount the sender and receiver parallel to one another.
During mounting, ensure 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
system plugs of both devices must point in the same direction.
The minimum distance between sender and receiver is 500 mm on the C4000 Palle-
tizer and Advanced and 1500 mm on the C4000 Fusion.
Take suitable measures to attenuate vibration if the shock requirements are above the
values given in section 12.1 “Data sheet” on page 99.
Observe the safety distance of the system during mounting. On this subject read
chapter 6.2 on page 59 and 6.3 on page 62.
Access to the hazardous area is only to be via the protective field.
Once the system is mounted, one or several of the enclosed self-adhesive safety
information labels must be affixed:
– Use only information 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 Information” to the system in close proximity to
sender and receiver.
In the case of horizontal mounting also note:
Mount the safety light curtain such that it is not possible to climb over, crawl beneath or
stand behind the safety light curtain and such that the safety light curtain cannot be
repositioned. An uncritical value against crawling beneath is a mounting height of
300 mm.
In the case of vertical mounting also note:
Mount the safety light curtain such that reaching under, reaching over or standing be-
hind the safety light curtain is not possible and that the safety light curtain cannot be
displaced. An uncritical value against crawling beneath is a mounting height of
300 mm.
