Subject to change without notice
DANGER
Hazard due to lack of effectiveness of the protective device
Persons and parts of the body to be protected may not be recognized in case of non-
observance.
The end with the cable connection must point in the same direction for the sender
b
and receiver.
Mount the sender and receiver on a level surface.
b
Mount the sender and receiver such that a right-angled protective field is estab‐
b
lished, i.e., when mounted vertically at the same height. For minor adjustments
when aligning, the sender and receiver can be adjusted longitudinally in the brack‐
ets.
If possible, choose a height for the top bracket so that the offset in the safety light
b
curtain housing is resting on the bracket. This ensures that the safety light curtain
will not slip down during mounting.
Tightening torque for the screws used to mount the bracket: 5 Nm ... 6 Nm. Tight‐
b
ening torque for the screws used to secure the safety light curtain in the bracket:
2.5 Nm ... 3 Nm. Higher torques can damage the bracket while lower torques do
not provide adequate fixation to prevent the safety light curtain from moving.
Make sure that the sender and receiver are aligned correctly. The optics of sender
b
and receiver must be located opposite one another.
If necessary, use a spirit level to check that the components are parallel.
