Sensor alignment
Position FT 50 RLA so that the distance from the object is within the operating range of the sensor. Screw the FT 50
RLA sensor to the mounting bracket, e.g. type MSP F50 (not included in delivery) or a suitable device. Only use the
holes provided in the housing (see dimensioned drawing) for this purpose.
If steps, moving or striped objects are to be detected, the front panel of the sensor should be mounted at a right
angle to the direction of movement or stripes (Illustr. 2 + 3).
With very reflective objects, the sensor must be mounted at an angle of approx. 5° (Illustr. 4).
To optimise measurements, the FT 50 RLA sensor is to be given constructive protection from
vibrations.
The FT 50 RLA sensor is now mounted.
