301i devices with respect to one another can be calculated as a function of the maximum measurement distance. To define the minimum parallel spacing between two AMS 301i, it is necessary to distinguish between three different arrangements of AMS 301i and reflectors.
301i do not interfere with one another. Depending on the size of the used reflector, the DDLS can be mounted with a minimum parallel spacing of 100mm to the AMS 301i. The parallel spacing is independent of the distance. 301i...

All provided specifications for the AMS 301i, such as the operating range or accuracy, can only be achieved with the reflective tape specified by Leuze electronic. The reflective tapes are available as adhesive tapes, affixed to a metal plate and with an integrated heater especially for use at low temperatures.

Attention! The reflector sizes shown below are a recommendation from Leuze electronic for on-vehicle mounting of the AMS 301i. For stationary mounting of the AMS 301i, a smaller reflector is generally sufficient for all measurement distances. On the basis of the system planning and design, always check whether mechanical travel tolerances may require the use of a reflector larger than that which is recommended.
For this purpose, use the alignment elements provided on the AMS 301i… (see chapter 5.2 "Mounting the AMS 301i"). If necessary, remove the protective foil from the reflector.
