4. Securing the distance sensor with hexagonal socket screw
NOTICE
The hexagon socket screw must be sufficiently tightened (with a torque of at least
3 Nm). Do not counter the hexagonal socket screw.
5.7 Aligning distance sensor
When aligning the distance sensor, you can select between two processes, which you
can also combine:
NOTE
When using the alignment laser, make sure this laser is located about 30 mm
above the measuring laser, "Design", page 15. The max. angular deviation
between the measuring laser optics axis and alignment laser optics axis is 4 mrad
(4 mm per meter distance from the front device edge).
Switch alignment laser on/off, "Switching the laser on and off", page 69.
If the alignment laser is not visible when aligning on natural surfaces due to a
large distance or a bright environment, temporary use of (retro-reflective) reflective
tape on the measuring object surface is recommended.
■
Alignment using the alignment laser:
Align the distance sensor so that the light spot of the measuring laser hits the cen‐
ter of the measuring object.
■
Alignment using the signal level display in the device display or via SOPAS ET:
Align the distance sensor so that a level maximum is displayed at the expected
distance. Recommended at large distances at which the light spot of the align‐
ment laser might no longer be detected with precision.
