4. Installation and mounting
4.1 Overview
This chapter contains information about calculating the safety distance and properly mounting a sensor.
4.2 Material required for installing the FF-SE
Equipment :
•
4 screws M4 x 10 for mounting on a horizontal surface (hardware) included
•
Washers for tightening (hardware) included
•
A mounting bracket FF-SEZ6BRAC3 (not included)
•
A floor mounting post FF-SEZ6POST (not included)
•
Varistors for protection of the FF-SE relays (3 Relays) included
Tools :
•
A bubble level for alignment
•
Screw drivers (hardware)
4.3 Operating precautions
IMPROPER INSTALLATION ON THE MACHINE
When mounting the FF-SE, the manufacturer's safety requirements for any work on the machine must be strictly
adhered to. Only qualified personnel may undertake mounting the FF-SE.
Failure to comply with these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
Please observe the following indications:
• The FF-SE is only suited for installation in closed spaces.
• The FF-SE may detect rain, snow, dust and smoke as objects. They may activate the sensor and cause an
alarm, safety or error condition.
• The FF-SE is protected against water splash per IP 65 and operates in a temperature range of 0 to 50° C (32 to
122°F).
• Do not expose the sensor to rain or temperatures outside these specifications.
• Do not subject the FF-SE to rapid changes in temperature which could lead to condensation on the lens. If the
sensor was stored below 0°C, run it 15 minutes before doing any programming.
• The detection of a glass pane located within the protection areas cannot be ensured. Glass panes must be
avoided in the detection zones or at their limits.
• The FF-SE can be mounted head up or down. This could allow additional head protection against shock or dust
contamination.
4.4 Mounting
IMPROPER DISTANCE FROM GROUND
When installing the sensor, the emitted laser beam divergence of 0.9° must be taken into account. Consequently,
a minimum distance of 150 mm must be kept between the optical axis and the floor. This distance is ensured by
the sensor's own height on an even floor when the sensor is mounted head up and the beam is parallel to the
ground. However, a height of 300 mm is recommended / per the European norm (see section 4.5).
