Protective field height
The protective field height indicates the range in which the test rod belonging to the
safety light curtain is detected. The size of the safety light curtain determines the pro‐
tective field height. The design and construction of the deTec4 Core safety light curtain
extends the protective function of a device to the end of the housing without any blind
zones.
Protective field width
The protective field width is the dimension of the light path between sender and
receiver. The maximum protective field width is limited by the scanning range.
Resolution
The resolution describes the size of the smallest object detected by the safety light cur‐
tain in the protective field. The resolution corresponds to the diameter of the test rod
belonging to the safety light curtain, which is reliably detected when in the protective
field.
With the appropriate resolution, the safety light curtain provides finger and hand protec‐
tion.

sheet", page 52.
Scanning range
The available resolution variants are 14 mm (0 m to 7 m scanning range) and 30 mm
(0 m to 10 m scanning range).
The scanning range is reduced by using deflector mirrors and/or a weld spark guard,
see "Deflector mirrors", page
The design and construction of the safety light curtain extends the protective function
of a device to the end of the housing without any blind spots. The absence of blind
zones reduces the space requirement when integrated in the machine.
When switched on, the safety light curtain automatically calibrates to the protective
field width.
The sender and receiver LEDs indicate the operating status of the safety light curtain.
