2.4 Protection Area

2.4.1 Sensing Area

!
The sensing area is the zone formed by the sensing height of the sensor and the sensing range
between the emitter and the receiver. The sensing height is determined by the number of beam
channels.
The sensing range depends on the device type: 0.1 to 3m. Also remember that if the sensing
range is less than 0.1m, malfunction may occur due to the optical structure.

When connecting the sensor, use the correct combination of emitter and receiver (same beam
pitch and number of beam channels) and match their top-bottom orientation. Combining
different types of emitters and receivers may produce a non-sensing area.

DANGER!
Install a protective structure around the machine so that the
operator must pass through the sensing area of this device to reach
the dangerous parts of the machine.
Furthermore, ensure that some part of the operator's body always
remains in the sensing area while the operator works on the
dangerous parts of the machine.
Do not use any arrangement using reflection or recursive reflection.
Follow the below descriptions carefully. Failure to do so may result
in serious injury or death.
The sensing height is the
area between the line
indicated in the top part
and line indicated in the
bottom part.
