1 Overview Safety
1.1 Safety Instructions
LPR systems are purely tracking and assistance systems. They
therefore do not satisfy the safety class 3 requirements and must not be
used as standalone systems in safety-critical applications, such as
automation or anti-collision.
Follow the safety instructions in the operating instructions for the device
and the additional documentation!
Keep these safety instructions and other documents together with the device.
1.2 Installation
All installation, repair and servicing work must be carried out by qualified
and trained technicians!
When the system is mounted on fixed tubes the necessary measures to
prevent slippage of the system must be taken
1.3 Repairs
Repairs of the device must be carried out by authorized technicians.
Unauthorized opening and incorrect repairs could result in severe
danger to the user (danger of electric shock, radiated energy, fire
hazard).
1.4 Transport and Storage
Use the original packaging or other suitable packaging for returns and
whenever the system is to be transported. This ensures protection from
crushing, impacts, moisture and electrostatic discharge.
During setup and before operation, refer to the instructions for
environmental conditions included in the operating instructions for the
device.
Route the wires in such a way that they do not cause a hazard and are
not damaged. When connecting the wires, refer to the corresponding
instructions in the operating instructions for the device.
Do not drop the device and do not expose it to strong vibrations.

1.5 Power Supply
A safety-inspected power cable that satisfies the regulations of the
country of use is required for the device. Devices with metal housings
must only be connected to a grounded, shock proof socket.
The device must not be operated unless the nominal voltage of the
device matches the local supply voltage. Check the supply voltage of
the device in stationary devices.
When connecting and disconnecting wires, refer to the instructions in
the operating instructions for the device.
Do not use any damaged wires (damaged insulation, exposed wires). A
faulty wire poses a risk of electric shock or fire hazard.
Polarity reversal or otherwise faulty connection can damage the LPR-
1DHP station. In that case the station must be send to the SYMEO
service.
1.6 Setup and Operation
During installation, make sure that no objects or fluids enter the device
(risk of electric shock, short circuit).
In emergencies (e. g. if there is damage to the housing, control
elements or the mains cable, if fluids or foreign bodies have infiltrated
the equipment), switch off the power supply to the device immediately
and notify your SYMEO Service.
Protect the contacts of all of the device's sockets and plugs from static
electricity. Do not touch the contacts. If it is ever necessary to touch the
contacts, take the following precautionary measures: Touch a grounded
object or carry a ground strap before touching the contacts. This will
divert static charges.
Proper operation (in accordance with IEC60950/EN60950) of the device
is only assured if the housing and integral covers for mounting slots are
fully installed (electric shock, cooling, fire protection, noise suppression).
If necessary, refer to the corresponding instructions in the operating
instructions for the device.
In the case of high outside temperatures and intense, direct solar
radiation or other radiant heat, it may be necessary to provide a sun or
heat shield.
1.7 System Extensions and Accessories

2 Overview of the LPR-1DHP system
An LPR-1DHP system consists of two units named BS and TS that conduct the
measurements. One unit (BS) initiates the measurement and the second unit (TS) replies.
Both units are shipped in a pre-configured set. Unit BS1 is configured to measure with TS1,
BS2 with TS2 and so on. The distance values are only available on the unit labeled BS.
Consequently, the unit BS must be mounted at the position where the distance values are
required, e.g. on the crane-bridge. Figure 1 shows the complete system including mounting
bracket for mounting on tubes.

5 Mounting
When the system is mounted on fixed tubes the necessary
measures to prevent slippage of the system must be taken
All installation, repair and servicing work must be carried out by
qualified and trained technicians!
A lot of the terms used in the following description are explained in
Figure 1 and Figure 3.
The LPR-1DHP station (front and rear element) is delivered pre-mounted, and with a
separate mounting bracket. Figure 1 shows the complete system including mounting bracket.
The mounting bracket must be mounted with a separte pipe clamp on a pipe. For mounting
the system please proceed as follows:
Please use a torx wrench type T25 to remove the front element A from the rear element
B by loosening of the mounting screws (A2). If necessary you can disconnect the
ethernet cable (B5) from the front element (A3) to be more flexible.
Insert the power supply cable in the cable feedthrough (B3) and connect it to the power
supply terminal (A4) on the rear element (A); siehe Figure 6.
Reinsert the Ethernet connector (B5) of the rear element (B) into the connector (A3) of
front element (A). Mount the front element (A) on the rear element (B). It might be
necessary to tighten the inserted power cable.
Fix the front element on the rear element with the housing screws (A2) using a torx
wrench T25.
Carefully tighten the cable feedthrough with flat wrench SW19.
Mount the mounting bracket (C) on a pipe installed at a suitable place. Do not tighten the
screws of the pipe-clamp yet, the system must be aligned first.
Mount the LPR-1DHP station in the mounting bracket (C). When tightening the screws in
the mounting slot (C1) make sure that you can still align the system unit.
Carefully align both units. To do so, it is recommended to use a laser level fitted into the
alignment aid (B1).
Finally fix the system by tightening the screws of the mounting bracket and the pipe
clamp. Flat wrench SW 11 and 13 are required.
Avoid entry of foreign objects or liquids into the system unit,
especially on the PCB stack of front element (A) or within rear
