Leave enough clearance for the fitted cable and normal service access.
What must the unit do?
In operation, SBL-8-H-900-IR/59/65B/73/120 is intended to detect objects on a roller conveyor. Establish the real input condition, the expected output response and the acceptance limit. Where an accessory, receiver, host card, reflector or magnet is required, include that matched part in the bill of materials. Do not infer that the picture or a neighbouring model code establishes compatibility for SBL-8-H-900-IR/59/65B/73/120.
What evidence is retained?
Before ordering SBL-8-H-900-IR/59/65B/73/120, photograph the nameplate and document what is connected on each side of the device. Check supply, signal or mechanical interface, mounting, environmental exposure and the receiving controller. The table is a compact technical reference for SBL-8-H-900-IR/59/65B/73/120; a similar printed string can denote another function, rating or certification. Retain any parameter backup and the current drawing with the maintenance record.
Commission SBL-8-H-900-IR/59/65B/73/120 with an observable, known condition rather than only checking an indicator lamp. Record at least two input states and their controller responses, then test the edge of the real working range where practical. If SBL-8-H-900-IR/59/65B/73/120 is part of a safety or Ex installation, use the site's approved proof-test procedure and exact approval documents. Save settings, photos and measured results so a later replacement can be compared reliably.
