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 "Field of view diagrams", page 29 and type-spe‐
cific dimensional drawing.
•
Comply with the technical data, such as the permitted ambient conditions for oper‐
ation of the device, see "Technical data", page 65.
•
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.
•
The device must be mounted using the tapped blind holes provided for this pur‐
pose, or using the sliding nuts.
•
Mount the device in a shock and vibration insulated manner.
•
Make sure the device has a clear view of the codes.
Auxiliary equipment required
■
Mounting bracket with sufficient load-bearing capacity and suitable dimensions.
■
Two or four M5 screws for mounting on a mounting device supplied by the cus‐
tomer. The screw length depends on the mounting base (wall thickness of the
bracket). When using an optional SICK bracket, the screws for mounting are
included with delivery.
■
Tool and tape measure.
5.2.2 Mounting systems
Mount the device on the mounting system by means of a minimum of two tapped blind
holes (M5) or sliding nuts.
The threaded mounting holes are located on the front and underside of the device.
The sliding nuts can each be inserted into a slot on the side of the housing.
SICK offers prefabricated mounting brackets that are optimally suited for mounting the
device, see "Accessories", page 71.
Customer-supplied mounting brackets
A customer-supplied mounting bracket must meet the following requirements:
