Minimum object diameter for detection perpendicular to beam plane
For a moving object, the cycle time of the light curtain must be shorter than the period of time that the object
to be detected is located in the beam plane.
For an object that moves vertically to the beam plane, the following apply:

L 10mm

NOTICE
Minimum length of the gap between two successive objects!
The gap between two successive objects must be greater than the minimum object diameter.

Minimum object diameter for stationary objects
The minimum object diameter of a stationary object is determined by the beam spacing and optic diameter.
Minimum object diameter for "parallel"-beam mode:
The minimum object diameter depends on the beam spacing because objects also need to be reliably
detected in the transition area between two beams.
Beam spacing
5 mm
10 mm / 20 mm / 40 mm
NOTICE
Minimum object diameter for "crossed beam" mode!
In "crossed beam" mode, the object diameter in the center area is reduced to 1/2 x beam spacing.
