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.
•
Mount the product in a shock and vibration insulated manner.
•
Ensure a good dissipation of excess heat from the device to the surroundings, in
particular at higher ambient temperatures. Good heat transfer from the device can
be achieved, for example, by using a bracket on the mounting base or by ensuring
that the back of the device is located at a sufficient distance from the wall of an
enclosure.
•
For ambient operating temperatures ≥40°C, mount the device using an alumi‐
num mounting bracket (e.g., part number 2113160, 2112790).
•
Make sure the device has a clear view of the codes.

5.2.2 Mounting angle and reflection prevention
In order to avoid reflections from the surfaces to be scanned, mount the product so
that it is tilted from the perpendicular to the surface.
