Precautions

No sharp-edged or heavy object should be allowed to affect the cable. The connecting
cables from the light source and receiver are compatible with use as trailing cables.
Avoid kinks in the cables.
> Failure of measuring device
5.2

Mounting the Sensor Unit

The sensor unit, consisting of the light source, receiver and mounting rail, is pre-assem-
bled and pinned together, see Fig.
Mount the mounting rail in such a way that it is not distorted.
A horizontal measurement arrangement reduces contamination on the optical parts and
should therefore be preferred.
If the individual components are mounted separately, the locating pins should remain in
the mounting rail. For mounting, either the supplied mounting screws or other suitable
M4 screws should be used. Please note the thread depth of 5 mm in both components.
To bolt on the individual components, the three through holes of 4.8 mm dia. in each
component can also be used.
Mount the sensor only to the existing holes on a flat surface. Clamps of any kind are not
permitted.
> Inaccurate, erroneous measuring values
i
Do not touch the optical windows. Contamination on the optical windows impairs
correct functioning.
i
The light source and receiver are assigned to their particular controller through the
serial number and must not be interchanged.
Minimum cable bending radius
Light source flexible: 35 mm (1.38)
