4.3 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 10.1 “Data sheet” on page 45.
⋅ Observe the safety distance of the system during mounting. On this topic read the
chapter “Determining the safety distance” on page 19.
⋅ Mount the safety light curtain such that the hazardous point cannot be reached from
below, above or behind the safety light curtain and that the light curtain cannot be
repositioned.
⋅ 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 Notices” to the system in close proximity to
sender and receiver.
The senders and receivers can be mounted in two different ways:
• mounting with swivel mount bracket
• mounting with side bracket
