LMS5xx Laser Measurement Sensors

Chapter 5

5.2.4 Select mounting location

Risk of dysfunction due to overheating or dazzle!

Direct sunlight on the LMS5xx can cause excessive temperature inside the sensor.

 Mount the LMS5xx in a dry and, where necessary, covered location so that it is

protected from moisture, dirt, damage, and direct sunlight. If necessary fit canopy or

protection hood. See section 5.2.10 “Mounting the LMS5xx with protection hood/

weather protection hood” on page 59.

 Avoid installing the LMS5xx in view of glass or stainless steel surfaces as they may act

as a mirror.

5.2.5 Mounting steps

 Mount the LMS5xx such that it is protected from moisture, dirt, damage and direct

sunlight.

 If necessary, use a protection hood when mounting the LMS5xx in indoor areas or use

a weather protection hood when mounting the LMS5xx in outdoor areas (optional

accessories). See section 5.2.10 “Mounting the LMS5xx with protection hood/weather

protection hood” on page 59.

 Ensure that the entire field of view of the LMS5xx is not restricted.

 Mount the device such that the indicators are easy to see.

 Always mount the LMS5xx so that there is still enough space for mounting and removing

the system connector or the connections.

 Avoid excessive shock and vibration loading on the laser measurement sensor.

 Pay attention to the maximum torque for the fixing screws on the LMS5xx:

– M6 on rear = max. 12 Nm

– M8 on side = max. 16 Nm

 Regularly check the tightness of the fixing screws.

 In applications with heavy vibration, prevent the fixing screws from coming loose by

using screw locking devices (see section 10.1 “Data sheet LMS5xx laser measurement

sensor” on page 101).

The LMS5xx can be fastened in the following ways:

 Direct mounting without mounting kit

 Mounting with mounting kit 1 (part no. 2015623)

 Mounting with mounting kit 2 (part no. 2015624), only in conjunction with mounting

kit 1

 Mounting with mounting kit 3 (part no. 2015625), only in conjunction with mounting kits

1 and 2

 Mounting with mounting kit 4 (part no. 2020295)
