Chapter 4 Mounting
Steps for mounting the safety
camera system
The most common mounting options are:
• Mounting on a frame
• Mounting in a frame
Special features to note during mounting:
Avoid unmonitored areas as described in the previous section.
Always mount the safety sensor on a flat surface.
Always mount the safety sensor on a metal surface and ensure
good mechanical contact. In this way you will ensure
adequate heat dissipation from the device.
During mounting, ensure that safety sensor and reflective
tape are aligned correctly. The SC300 accepts a defined lateral
tolerance (see “Mounting the reflective tape” on page 24).
Take suitable measures to attenuate vibration if the shock
requirements are above the values given in the “Data sheet”
section on page 47.
Observe the safety distance of the system during mounting.
On this subject read Determining the safety distance” on
page 16.
Mount the safety sensor system such that it is not possible
reaching under, reaching over or standing behind the sensor
and that the sensor cannot be repositioned.
ATTENTION
Figure 12 - The correct installation (above) must eliminate the errors (below)
reaching over, reaching under and standing behind.
Secure the two fixing screws against unintentional loosening.
Once the system is mounted, one or several of the enclosed
self-adhesive safety information labels must be affixed:
– Use only information labels in the language which the
operators of the machine understand.
– Affix the information labels such that they are easily
visible by the operators during operation. After attaching
additional objects and equipment, the information labels
must not be concealed from view.
– Affix the information label “Important Information” to the
system in close proximity to the safety sensor system.
