5 Mounting
5.1 Mounting instructions
•
Observe the technical data.
•
Protect the sensor from direct and indirect sunlight.
•
To prevent condensation, avoid exposing the device to rapid changes in tempera‐
ture.
•
The mounting site has to be designed for the weight of the device.
5.2 Overview of mounting procedure
The mounting of the device is divided into the following steps:
•
Mount the device.
•
Align the device with the object.
•
Connect the device to interfaces and supply voltage.
•
Adjust the device.
5.3 Preparation for mounting
5.3.1 Installation requirements
•
Typical space requirement: see "Field of view diagrams", page 33 and type-spe‐
cific dimensional drawing.
•
Comply with the technical data, such as the permitted ambient conditions for oper‐
ation of the device, see "Technical data", page 67.
•
Ensure good dissipation of excess heat from the device to the surroundings, in
particular at higher ambient temperatures. Ensure that there is good heat transfer
from the device, for example via the bracket to the mounting base, or ensure that
the back of the device is a sufficient distance from the wall of a housing.
•
The device must be mounted using the tapped blind holes provided for this pur‐
pose, or using the sliding nuts.
•
Mount the device in a shock and vibration insulated manner.
•
Make sure the device has a clear view of the codes.
Auxiliary equipment required
■
Mounting system with sufficient load-bearing capacity and suitable dimensions.
■
4 or 2 M5 screws for mounting on a mounting system supplied by the customer.
The screw length depends on the mounting base (wall thickness of the bracket).
When using an optional SICK mounting system, the screws for mounting are
included with delivery.
■
Tool and tape measure.
5.3.2 Mounting systems
Mount the device on the mounting system by means of a minimum of two tapped blind
holes (M5) or sliding nuts.
The threaded mounting holes are located on the rear of the device.
The sliding nuts can each be inserted into a slot on the side of the housing.
SICK offers prefabricated mounting systems that are optimally suited for mounting the
device, see "Accessories", page 71.
Customer-supplied mounting system
A customer-supplied mounting system must meet the following requirements:
