The reflector sizes shown below are a recommendation from Leuze for on-vehicle mounting of the AMS 384i. For stationary mounting of the AMS 384i, a smaller reflector is generally sufficient for all measurement distances. For this reason, two smaller reflector sizes are avai lable in the self-adhesive variant "-S".
For this purpose, use the alignment elements provided on the AMS 384 … (see chapter 5.2 "Mounting the AMS 384i"). If necessary, remove the protective film from the reflector. Attention! The "TOP" label on the reflectors should be aligned the same as the connections of the...
