3. Installation and Mechanical Alignment
3.1 Emitter and Receiver Mounting
Banner MINI-ARRAY emitters and receivers are small, lightweight, and easy to mount; the mounting brackets (supplied) allow ±30
degrees rotation.
From a common point of reference, make measurements to position the emitter and receiver in the same plane with their midpoints
directly opposite each other. Mount the emitter and receiver brackets using the M4 x 0.7 x 14 mm bolts and associated mounting
hardware (all supplied). See Figure 3-1.
Although the internal circuitry of the emitter and receiver can withstand heavy impulse forces, vibration isolators can be used
instead of the M4 bolts to dampen impulse forces and prevent possible damage from resonant vibration of the emitter or receiver
assembly. Two different Anti-Vibration Mounting Kits are available from Banner as accessories.

P/N 48955 consists of 4 anti-vibration
mounts (M4 x 0.7 x 9.5 mm) and
8 M4 Keps nuts. These mounts are
made from BUNA-N rubber and are
more resistant to chemicals and oils.
P/N 12847 consists of 4 anti-vibration
mounts (M4 x 0.7 x 9.5 mm) and
8 M4 Keps nuts. These mounts are
made from natural rubber, which
are less chemically resistant than
the 48955 mounts, but have a
greater sheer force spec at higher
temperature.
