3.1 Notes on mounting
The TiM5xx can, depending on the application purpose, be mounted in any position.
Install the TiM5xx so it as unaffected by shocks and vibrations as possible.
Install the TiM5xx so it is not exposed to any direct sunlight (window, skylight) or any
other heat sources. This prevents impermissible temperature increases inside the
device.
During installation make sure there is no light or reflective surface behind the reference
target (see Figure ).
Using several TiM5xx
The TiM5xx is designed so that mutual interference of the same types of sensors is very un-
likely. To preclude even the slightest of influences on the measuring accuracy, we recom-
mend installing the TiM5xx as in the examples below.
