Mounting the device
Protect the device against tampering and damage!
Take suitable measures to ensure that the device cannot be tampered with and that
any objects, vehicles or persons passing by the device cannot damage any connections.
Suitable measures may include for example: Choosing a sufficiently protected assembly
location; installation of a protective hood to cover the device and connections.
During mounting ensure that the position of the AS7interface cable is correct and that
the seals are correctly fitted, and carefully tighten all housing bolts using the correct
torque, as otherwise the IP 67 enclosure rating may not be reached.
For some sensors a functional earth is required. The functional earthing can be provided
over the safe bus node UE4215 via the cable. The safe bus node UE4215 must be fitted to
a base FKE7A7E (cf. chapter 10.2 "Accessories") for this purpose. The earthing is then
performed via the mounting rail or via a 2.8 mm spade connection on the front of the
base. As an alternative, functional earthing of the sensor to a well-earthed mounting is
possible, for example on light grids and light curtains using the claw sliding nut. In this
case the safe bus node UE4215 can be fitted to a base without earthing (type FKE or FKE-
A, cf. chapter 10.2 "Accessories"). The safe bus node UE4215 itself does not require
functional earthing.
Mount the safe bus node UE4215 on the selected base.
Clamp the base to a 35 mm profile rail or fasten it to a support.
Lay the yellow and the black AS7interface cables to the base as per the colour coding.
For this purpose use the seals provided.

Check that the gasket and cable is correctly positioned.
Evenly tighten the 4 bolts on the housing diagonally to 0.8 Nm.
