Mechanical fastening
What should generally be taken into consideration when mounting?
• Make certain that the transmitter and receiver are mounted on even surfaces.
• The transmitter and receiver must be positioned at the same height and their connections must be
pointing in the same direction.
• Use screws for mounting that can only be loosened with a tool.
• Fasten and secure the transmitter and receiver so that they cannot be swiveled or moved. At close
range, securing against swiveling is particularly important for safety reasons.
• The safety distance between the protective field and the danger zone must be observed.
• Make sure that it is only possible to reach or go into the danger zone through the protective field.
Additional access points must be secured separately (e.g., by hard guards, additional safety light
curtains or doors with interlock devices).
