Subject to change without notice
4.4.3 Mounting the incremental encoder
The incremental encoder is mounted directly onto the conveying line according to
information in the project-specific dimensional drawing. The position of the incremental
encoder should be as near as possible to the reading point.
Mount the incremental encoder at the reading point. When doing so, ensure that the
friction gear has direct and secure contact with the conveying surface and does not slip
through.
4.4.4 Mounting MLG light grid or VMS4xx/5xx
The MLG light grid or VMS4xx/5xx is secured directly on the mounting frame according to
information in the project-specific dimensional drawing. The position of the MLG should be
chosen to allow for as large an area as possible to be recorded by the MLG sensors over
the conveyor level. The lower sensors must not be permanently covered by the conveyor
system.
Mount the MLG light grid or VMS4xx/5xx to the mounting frame.
For additional information, see operating instructions:
“Modular light grid MLG” (no. 8009403, German version) or
“Volume measurement system VMS410/VMS510” (no. 8010591, German version) or
“Volume measurement system VMS420/VMS520” (no. 8010447, German version).
4.5 Dismantling the system
Risk of injury due to falling components
The weight of the MSC800 can be approx. 10 to 20 kg depending on the variant.
Do not do mounting work alone.
Have a second person hold the components during mounting.
The dismantling of the MSC800 is described in chapter 7.6 Disposal on page 87.
The dismantling of individual components of the MSC800 is described in chapter 7.5
Replacing components of the MSC800 on page 84.
Follow the instructions in chapter 7.6 Disposal on page 87 for environmentally-friendly
disposal on final decommissioning.
