5 Mounting
5.1 Mounting procedure
1. Choose a mounting site bearing in mind the mounting instructions, see "Mounting
instructions", page 18.
2. Selecting and mounting the reflector, see "Select and mount the reflector ",
page 18.
3. Mounting alignment bracket and distance sensor, see "Mounting the alignment
bracket and distance sensor", page 25.
4. Establishing electrical connection, see "Electrical installation", page 30.
5. Aligning distance sensor and reflector to one another see "Aligning the distance
sensor and reflector with each other", page 27.
5.2 Mounting instructions
•
Observe the technical data.
•
Protect the sensor from direct sunlight.
•
To prevent condensation, avoid exposing the device to rapid changes in tempera‐
ture.
•
The mounting site has to be designed for the weight of the device.
•
Use a sensor with optional heater at low ambient temperatures such as in cold
storage.
•
Use a sensor with an optional cooler housing at higher temperatures.
•
Maintain a sufficient distance to other distance sensors, see "Placement of multi‐
ple distance sensors", page 21.
•
Maintain a sufficient distance to the data transmission photoelectric sensors, see
"Arranging the distance sensor to the adjacent optical data transmission system",
page 23.
5.3 Select and mount the reflector
NOTE
You can find suitable reflectors and suitable reflective tape at www.sick.com/DX100.
Reflector size
■
Select a reflector size that always allows the entire light spot to hit the reflector.
■
If the reflector is mounted to a vehicle and the distance sensor is secured in place
at a fixed location, you can calculate the minimum size of the reflector using the
distance-based light spot size, see "Optics", page 77.
■
If the distance sensor is installed onto a vehicle, a larger reflector is typically nec‐
essary for taking into account the rolling movements of the vehicle and therefore
of the laser.
NOTE
The reflector must always be at least 100 mm x 100 mm in size, even if the light
spot is smaller due to a shorter measuring distance.
Reflector tilt
b
To avoid direct surface reflections, mount the reflector with a tilt of approx.
+1° … +3° in one of the 2 axes (horizontal or vertical).
