Reflection

Sending unit
Ensure that there are no reflective objects within the transmitter or receiver path
that could deflect the beams around an obstruction (EN 61496-2).
Note!
When positioning the light grid, ensure that a minimum distance to reflecting
objects or surfaces is maintained. This distance from the protection field must be
maintained on all sides.
Only in this way can you ensure that an object will be reliably detected by a beam
in the light grid. The minimum distances are listed in the table.
