Mount the sensor using four M6 x 1.0 screws of suitable length.
The recommended thread engagement into the housing is 8 - 10 mm.
Do not occlude camera’s view of the laser
Do not install near surfaces that might
create unanticipated laser reflections

OCATOR OVERVIEW
There are several sensor models in the Gocator 1300 series, each
designed with a unique Clearance Distance (CD), Measurement
Range (MR) and Field of View (FOV). Refer to the user manual
for more information about your model.
G
ROUNDING GOCATOR
Gocator housings should be grounded to the earth and the
grounding shield of the Gocator I/O cordsets. Gocator
sensors have been designed to provide adequate grounding
through the use of M6 x 1.0 screws. Always check grounding
with a multi-meter to ensure electrical continuity between the
mounting frame and the Gocator connectors.
The frame or electrical cabinet that the Gocator is mounted to
must
be connected to
earth ground
.
E
LECTRICAL SAFETY
Minimize voltage potential between system ground (ground
reference for I/O signals) and sensor ground
Use shielded cables with shield grounded at both ends.
Sensor housing should be connected to earth ground.
Use a suitable power supply
The +24-48V power supply used with Gocator 1300 sensors
should be an isolated supply with inrush current protection.
Use care when handling powered devices
Wires connecting to the sensor should not be handled while
the sensor is powered. Doing so may cause electrical shock to
the user or damage to the equipment.
NOTE:
Mounting the Gocator is recommended before applying power. Ensure that a proper earth ground is
established and that a heat sink is properly installed before applying power.
L
ASER SAFETY
The full laser safety details including precautions,
responsibilities and requirements are stated in the Gocator
user manual. Use of controls or adjustments or performing
procedures other than those specified in the user manual may
result in hazardous radiation exposure.

WARNING: DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY
INTO THE LASER BEAM
The light emitted from these devices has been set in
accordance with IEC60825. However, staring into the beam,
whether directly or indirectly, must be avoided. IEC60825
classifies laser products into three different categories
depending on light emitted, wavelength and eye safety.
This product is designated for use solely as a component
and as such it does not fully comply with the standards
relating to laser products specified in U.S. FDA CFR Title 21
part 1040 and
IEC 60825-1.

ROUNDING CORDSET (RECOMMENDED)
To minimize interference with other equipment, the Power
& Ethernet or the Power & Ethernet to Master cordset
(depending on cordset used in system) can be grounded
by terminating the cordset shield before the split. The most
effective grounding method is to use a 360-degree clamp.
For instructions, see the user manual.
