If you answer one of the items on the checklist above with no, the mounting location must be changed. 6.2.2 Definition of directions of movement The following terms for alignment movements of the safety sensor around one of its axes are used: Leuze electronic GmbH + Co. KG MLC 100...
The wall mounting through threaded holes makes it possible to lift the mounting bracket after the screws have been loosened over the connection cap. Therefore, the mounting brackets do not need to be removed from the wall when exchanging the device. Loosening the screws is sufficient. Leuze electronic GmbH + Co. KG MLC 100...
(see chapter 15 "Order guide and accessories"). For increased mechanical requirements, these are also available as vibration-damped version (BT-2SB10-S). Depending on the installation situation, envi- ronmental conditions and protective field length (> 1200 mm), other mounting brackets may also be neces- sary. Leuze electronic GmbH + Co. KG MLC 100...
Deflecting mirror for multiple-side guarding For multiple-side guarding, redirecting the protective field with one or two deflecting mirrors is economical. To do this, Leuze electronic supplies: • The UM60 deflecting mirror for mounting on the machine in various lengths (see chapter 15 "Order guide and accessories")
