or code color. The product can read the codes even for small codes, short reading dis‐
tances, weak contrasts, contamination or low code quality. Visible LED alignment aids
simplify the process of aligning the product to the code to be scanned. A time-of-flight
sensor measures the working distance of the product using invisible infrared light.
For product type V2D61xx-xMxxxx, the focus position can be adjusted manually with the
focus adjustment tool.
For product type V2D61xx-xLxxxx, the product can adjust the focus position automati‐
cally. To do so, use the function button to start the Tuning device function or the Auto
Setup function in SOPAS ET. If necessary, the focus position can be manually adjusted in
SOPAS ET.
The product does not have an AUX serial interface. An application-specific parameter
set created in SOPAS ET can therefore only be manually saved and archived as a
project file on the computer.

5 Mounting
5.1 Mounting instructions
•Observe the technical data.
•Protect the sensor from direct and indirect sunlight.
•To prevent condensation, avoid exposing the device to rapid changes in tempera‐
ture.
•The mounting site has to be designed for the weight of the device.
5.2 Preparation for mounting
5.2.1 Installation requirements
•Typical space requirement: see "Field of view diagrams", page 23 and type-spe‐
cific dimensional drawing
•Comply with the technical data, such as the permitted ambient conditions for
operation, see "Technical data", page 55.
•Ensure a good dissipation of excess heat from the device to the surroundings, in
particular at higher ambient temperatures. Good heat transfer from the device can
be achieved, for example, by using a bracket on the mounting base or by ensuring
that the back of the device is located at a sufficient distance from the wall of an
enclosure.
•Only mount the device using the threaded mounting holes provided.
•Mount the device in a shock and vibration insulated manner.
•Make sure the device has a clear view of the codes.
Auxiliary equipment required
■Mounting system with sufficient load-bearing capacity and suitable dimensions
■4 or 2 M4 screws for mounting the device on a mounting system supplied by the
customer
■Alternatively: 2 M3 screws to mount the device on a bracket supplied by the
customer (screw length: at least 35 mm)
■Tool and tape measure
The screw length depends on the mounting base (wall thickness of the bracket). When
using an optional SICK mounting system, the screws for mounting the device are
included with delivery.
5.2.2 Mounting systems
Mount the device to the mounting systems using at least 2 threaded mounting holes
(M4).
The threaded mounting holes are located on the right and left side of the device.
SICK offers prefabricated mounting systems that are optimally suited for mounting the
device, see "Accessories", page 59.
Customer-supplied mounting system
A customer-supplied mounting system must meet the following requirements:
•The device can be aligned in the X- and Y-axes.
•The mounting system must be able to bear the weight of the device and connect‐
ing cables without shock.
•Mounting options for the device using the threaded mounting holes must be
available.
