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.
