b
Make sure that the safety laser scanner’s field of view is not restricted.
b
Make sure that there are not mirrors or other very reflective objects in the protec‐
tive field.
b
Make sure that no small objects (e.g. cables) are in the protective field, even if the
safety outputs do not switch to the OFF state as a result.
b
Mount the safety laser scanner so that the status indicators are clearly visible.
b
Mount the safety laser scanner so that you can plug in and pull out the system
plug.
b
Take appropriate measures for vibration damping if vibration and shock specifica‐
tions exceed the values and test conditions specified in the data sheet,
.
b
For machines that vibrate heavily, use thread-locking compounds to prevent the
possibility of fixing screws coming loose unintentionally.
b
Make sure that the safety laser scanner is aligned correctly, even during mount‐
ing: if the safety laser scanner is intended to monitor an area of 270° on a corner,
the safety laser scanner may be mounted rotated by a maximum of 2.5° about the
vertical axis.

Take account of the tightening torque for the fixing screws:
°
M5 at rear/at side = 4.5
Nm … 5.0
Nm
°
M4 at rear/at side = 2.2
Nm … 2.5
Nm
Higher tightening torques may damage the thread. Lower tightening torques do
not offer sufficient protection against slipping of the safety laser scanner due to
vibrations, for example.
5.3.1
Direct mounting
The safety laser scanner has 4 M5 threaded holes on the back. If you are able to drill
through the mounting surface from the rear, you can mount the safety laser scanner
directly using these threaded holes.

Use either the rear or the side M5 threaded holes for direct mounting,

Use all four rear or all 4 side M5 threaded holes for direct mounting, so that the
values given in the data sheet for vibration and shock resistance are achieved.
