Chapter 4 Mounting
Figure 16 - Correct arrangement of the reflective tapes at joints
If damage to the reflective tape is to be expected due to the application, e.g. because heavy
or sharp-edged objects are pushed over the working area, you should use one of the
following possible mounting methods:
– Mount the camera in the bottom of the frame.
– Mount the camera lower than the contact surface in front of the frame.
How to mount the reflective tape:
The reflective tape is attached by simply bonding it in place.
Clean the surface where the tape is to be attached so that it is clean of residue.
Remove the protective film on the rear of the reflective tape and apply the tape
perpendicular to the camera’s optical axis. The camera will tolerate a small divergence
from the optical axis (Figure 17).
