The safety light curtain can only be mounted on machines on which the protective
b
field width does not change when the safety light curtain is switched on.
Protective field width
The protective field width is the dimension of the light path between sender and
receiver.
The protective field width cannot change during operation.
Scanning range
The scanning range limits the maximum protective field width. The protective field width
cannot change during operation.

Overview
A minimum distance must be maintained between the safety light curtain and the haz‐
ardous point. This distance is required to prevent a person or part of their body from
reaching the hazardous point before the end of the machine's dangerous state.
