5 Mounting
5.1 Mounting instructions
•
Observe the technical data.
•
Protect the sensor from direct and indirect 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.
5.2 Preparation for mounting
5.2.1 Installation requirements
DANGER
Risk of injury due to hot device surface.
The surface of the device can become hot during operation.
•
Before performing work on the device (e.g. mounting, cleaning, disassembly),
switch off the device and allow it to cool down.
•
Ensure good lost heat transfer from the device.
•
Typical space requirement: see type-specific dimensional drawing.
•
Comply with the technical data, such as the permitted ambient conditions for
operation of the device, see "Technical data", page 50.
•
Ensure good dissipation of excess heat from the device to the surroundings, in
particular at higher ambient temperatures. Ensure that there is good heat transfer
from the device, for example via the bracket to the mounting base, or ensure that
the back of the device is a sufficient distance from the wall of a housing.
•
Only mount the device using the threaded mounting holes provided.
•
The substrate over which the AGV moves must be level.
•
Make sure the device has a clear view of the codes.
Auxiliary equipment required
■
Mounting system with sufficient load-bearing capacity and suitable dimensions.
■
Four or two M4 screws for mounting the device on a mounting system supplied
by the customer. The screw length depends on the mounting base (wall thickness
of the bracket). Two M3 screws can optionally be used to mount the device on a
bracket supplied by the customer (screw length: at least 35 mm). When using an
optional SICK mounting system, the screws for mounting the device are included
with delivery.
■
Tool and tape measure.
5.2.2 Mounting systems
Mount the device to the mounting systems using at least 2 threaded mounting holes
(M4).
The threaded mounting holes are located on the right and left side of the device.
SICK offers prefabricated mounting systems that are optimally suited for mounting the
device, see "Accessories", page 54.
Customer-supplied mounting system
A customer-supplied mounting system must meet the following requirements:
