Installation Instructions
3.1
Mechanical Installation
To ensure maximum accuracy of detection, the FA 45 Vision Sensor should be protected from
vibration.
Secure the connection cables with cable binders to prevent crushing or slipping.
Select a position for the FA 45 Vision Sensor in which interfering factors such as slight
differences in the position of the object or variations in illumination have little or no effect.
Screw the FA 45 Vision Sensor onto the mounting clamp „dovetail FA 45" (supplied with the unit) and then onto a
suitable object. Use only the mounting clamp „dovetail FA 45" (no. 543-11000) supplied with the unit (see chapter
8.13 dimensional drawing).
Working distance

15500231
Observe the object clearance given in the table Field of View / Working Distance (see chapter 8.6).
To avoid interfering reflection from the detection object, align the FA 45 Vision Sensor at an angle of approx. 10°-15°
with reference to the optical axis (fig. 1).
Fine adjustment
Important: Fine adjustment of the FA 45 Vision Sensor should not be carried out until after electrical connection (see
chapter 3.2) and start-up (PC software installation). See „Start-up" (chapter 3.4).
