Safety

This optical data transmission system was developed, manufactured and tested in line with the applicable
safety standards. It corresponds to the state of the art.
2.1

Intended use

Devices of the DDLS 500 series have been designed and developed for the optical transmission of data in
the infrared range.
Areas of application
Devices of the DDLS 500 series are designed for the following areas of application:
• Data transmission between stationary and/or moving devices. The devices must – with respect to the
transmission beam spread - be positioned opposite one another without interruption. A data transmis-
sion path consists of two devices designated with "Frequency F3" and "Frequency F4".
• Data transmission between two mutually opposing devices, whereby each device can rotate 360 °. The
middle axes of the receiver lenses must – with respect to the transmission beam spread – be posi-
tioned opposite one another without interruption during the rotation.
For rotary transmission, a minimum distance of 500 mm is necessary between the two devices.
NOTICE
For information about possible restrictions regarding the transmission of special protocols see
chapter 3.1.2 "Performance characteristics and delivery options".
