Mounting the Vision Sensor

CAUTION:  The vision sensor has to be grounded, either by mounting the vision sensor to a fixture that is electrically grounded or by attaching a wire from the vision sensor’s mounting fixture to frame ground or Earth ground. If a ground wire is used, it has to be attached to one of the mounting points on the bottom plate of the vision sensor and not to the mounting points on the front of the vision sensor.

  1. Align the vision sensor with the holes on the universal mounting bracket.

  2. Insert the screws.

    Note: The vision sensor has two sets of threaded holes for mounting. Use only one set depending on the best configuration for your application. For the threaded holes closer to the front of the vision sensor you need M3X5 screws, for those closer to the connectors M3X9.

  3. If needed, you can rotate the mounting bracket up to 45 degrees. To do so, loosen the screw in the curved slot.

Note:

Mounting the vision sensor at a slight, 15 degree angle reduces reflections and improves performance.
