Side by Side Installation
MUTUAL INTERFERENCE OR CROSSTALK
A physical barrier or filter may be necessary in side-by-side system installations for proper
operation.
When two or more light curtain systems are installed on adjacent machines, optical
interference may occur if two units are within the field of view. A physical barrier may be
required to eliminate the interfering light path (see figure 2-11).
Interference or crosstalk may also be prevented by installing an additional front plate filter or
using a filter version of the FF-SB14 Series. The scanning range of these units is up to 6
meters (19.68 feet).

Avoid crosstalk by mounting a
physical barrier between side-by-
side systems.
