4 Mounting
4.1 Planning for mounting
Installation site
•
To prevent condensation, avoid exposing the device to rapid changes in tempera‐
ture.
•
The mounting site is suitable for the weight of the device.
•
Mount the device in a shock and vibration insulated manner.
•
Make sure the product has a clear view of the codes of the objects to be scanned.
Heat regulation
•
If the ambient operating temperature will be ≥45°C, ensure adequate heat
dissipation when mounting the device. For example, mount the product using a
mounting bracket on a suitable heat sink. A suitable heat sink is an aluminum
profile with minimum dimensions 40mm x 80mm x 665mm. To ensure air
circulation, mount the product, for example, at an adequate distance from walls,
ceilings and other devices.
Strong light sources, lasers and retro-reflectors
•
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. An angle of 0° up to 45°
is appropriate depending on the application.
