3.  Mounting

3.1  General mounting instructions

•  The light barriers can be operated in any mounting position (with or 

without BF 31 mounting angle). The mounting possibilities are shown 
on the dimensional drawing.

•  The transmitter and the receiver must be fitted parallel to each other 

and at the same mounting height.

•  Turn the transmitter whilst observing the display of the receiver and fix 

the point at which the LED indication changes from red to green.

•  Calculate the max. left and right angle of rotation. Fix the fixing screws 

in central position.

•  Make sure that the LED indication does not flash red-green or change 

to red continuous signal during this process.

Please also observe the notes for the calculation of the 
safety distance in the operating instructions manual of 
the SLB 200-C04-1R safety-monitoring module.
