Mounting
How to calculate the supplement C:
 If there is enough empty space in front of your machine or system, use 1200 mm for the
s
upplement C.
 If the minimum distance is to be kept as small as possible, calculate C using the
following formula:
C = 1200 mm – (0.4 × H
D
)
Here H
D
is the height at which the protective field is mounted.
The minimum supplement to prevent reaching over is 850 mm (arm length).
In summary there are three usual mounting variants for the scan plane of the S3000. The
optimal variation depends on the related application.
Tab. 20 provides assistance making the selection.
