Sender and receiver can be mounted in two different ways:
• Mounting with swivel mount bracket
• Mounting with side bracket
Mounting with Swivel Mount Bracket
The swivel mount bracket is made of black polyamide PA6. The
bracket is designed such that sender and receiver can still be
accurately aligned even after the bracket has been mounted.
Note
➢ Attach the bolts of the swivel mount bracket with a
torque of between 2.5 and 3Nm. Higher torques can
damage the bracket; lower torques provide inadequate
protection against vibration.

Note
➢ Mount the bolts marked with ➊ to ➍ on the operator
side of the system to ensure that they remain accessible
after mounting and to allow you to readjust the light
curtain later, if necessary.
➢ If you wish to use the additional front screen (see
“Additional Front Screen (weld shield)” on page 45),
make sure that the curved side of the device remains
accessible after mounting.
Mounting with Side Bracket
The side bracket is made of die cast zinc ZP 0400. It is anodized in
black. The side bracket will be covered by the device after
mounting. But it is only suitable for mounting surfaces lying parallel
to the desired protective field because the alignment of sender and
receiver can only be adjusted by a maximum of
±2.5° after
mounting.

Note
➢ Attach the bolts of the side bracket with a torque of
between 5 and 6Nm. Higher torques can damage the
bracket; lower torques provide inadequate protection
against vibration.
➢ When mounting the bracket, note the distance and the
position of the sliding nuts as described in the
“Dimensional Drawings” on page 39.
