Freestanding Mounting - MICRO-EPSILON optoCONTROL 2700 Operating Instructions Manual

4.2.3

Freestanding Mounting

Micro-Epsilon recommends initially mounting the sensor with the mounting rail attached. Once the sensor has been
mounted, this rail can be removed.
Only attach the light source and receiver using the existing holes on a flat surface. Any type of clamping is not permitted.
> Inaccurate or incorrect measurements
If light source and receiver must be installed without the supplied mounting rail, you must make sure that the components
are exactly aligned with each other.

The distance between the light source and receiver is 300 mm.
i Light source and receiver must be located on the same plane and must not be tilted in relation to each
other.
Use a stop bracket or rails to align the light source and receiver.
Once the light source and receiver have been installed at the correct distance from each other, check that the light band
is aligned centered on the receiver, and adjust if necessary.

If necessary, loosen the light source for exact positioning. Check the central orientation of the continuous light band both
horizontally and vertically.
Micro-Epsilon recommends holding a white piece of paper in front of the receiver as a projection screen and covering half
of the screen. The strip light must illuminate the glass sheet symmetrically.
