SICK microScan3 Core I/O

Mounting instructions
b
T
he safety laser scanner’s optics cover is an optical component. Make sure that
the optics cover does not become dirty or scratched during unpacking and mount‐
ing. Prevent fingerprints on the optics cover.
b
Mount the safety laser scanner so that it is protected from moisture, dirt and
damage.
b
Make sure that the safety laser scanner’s field of view is not restricted.
b
Make sure that there are not mirrors or other very reflective objects in the protec‐
tive field.
b
Make sure that no small objects (e.g. cables) are in the protective field, even if the
safety outputs do not switch to the OFF state as a result.
b
Mount the safety laser scanner so that the status indicators are clearly visible.
b
Mount the safety laser scanner so that you can plug in and pull out the system
plug.
b
Take appropriate measures for vibration damping if vibration and shock specifica‐
tions exceed the values and test conditions specified in the data sheet, see "Data
sheet", page 142.
b
For machines that vibrate heavily, use thread-locking compounds to prevent the
possibility of fixing screws coming loose unintentionally.
b
Make sure that the safety laser scanner is aligned correctly, even during mount‐
ing: if the safety laser scanner is intended to monitor an area of 270° on a corner,
the safety laser scanner may be mounted rotated by a maximum of 2.5° about the
vertical axis.
b
Location of the scan plane: see "Dimensional drawings", page 152.
b
Take account of the tightening torque for the fixing screws:
°
M5 at rear/at side = 4.5 Nm … 5.0 Nm
°
M4 at rear/at side = 2.2 Nm … 2.5 Nm
Higher tightening torques may damage the thread. Lower tightening torques do
not offer sufficient protection against slipping of the safety laser scanner due to
vibrations, for example.
