5.4.6 Mounting with C-Fix bracket and L-Fix bracket
Overview
T
he C-Fix bracket can be combined with the L-Fix bracket. This both fastens the position
of the safety light curtain and ensures flexible mounting of a C-Fix bracket.
For applications in which vibrations could occur as well as for protective field heights of
≥ 360 mm, we recommend assembling the brackets at a distance from a fourth of the
twin stick length from the end of the twin stick.

Approach
1.
Mount the L-Fix bracket so that the twin stick is positioned at the correct height.
2.
Tighten the first of the two M5 fixing screws (!) slightly.
Make sure that the L-Fix bracket is originally only lightly fastened and does not
r
otate.
3.
Now tighten the second of the two M5 fixing screws (") slightly.
4. Now tighten both M5 screws with a torque of about 3 Nm. Higher torques can
damage the bracket; lower torques provide inadequate protection against vibra‐
tions.
