4 INSTALLATION
In order to assure the best possible operating conditions as well as personal safety, it is
essential that the following instructions are followed exactly.
4.1 General Precautions
The DENEX MICRO should be installed in an environment where:
1. The equipment ambient temperature does not exceed 40º C.
2. The equipment atmosphere is free from highly flammable or combustible vapors,
corrosive chemical flumes, oil vapor, steam, excessive moisture and particles.
Avoid mounting the unit in places with strong vibrations since they can produce miscounts,
especially when thin products are counted. Make sure that the mounting bracket and
means used are rigid to withstand vibrations.
The sensor should normally be mounted on a flat conveyor. It is possible to mount the
sensor on a bent part of the conveyor according to figures below. Do not mount according
to Figure 4.1.1 (right) since it will deteriorate the function of the unit.
YES NO
Figure 4.1.1 Mounting on a non-flat conveyor.
4.2 Mechanical Installation
The sensor should be mounted parallel to, and at a distance of 100 mm from the conveyor.
The sensor will then count folded sheets up to a maximum stream thickness of 70 mm. If
the sensor is to used as a gripper sensor, refer to Appendix 1 ”Mounting and using the
sensor on a gripper conveyor”. Contact Baumer if other mountings are considered. It is
most important that the sensor is mounted the right way. It can only count in one direction.
The connector side of the sensor should be the first to meet the copies.
The laser beam must not hit any moving part of the conveyor. The path of the laser must
end with a beam stopper. See chapters 4.3 and 4.4 for more information about the type of
beam stopper used. The laser beam must never be accessible to the user!
Make sure that the mounting bracket used is rigid and that the alignment of the unit cannot
be accidentally changed. There are brackets available from Baumer.
