◎
Fixed mask function
When the optical axis blocks a fixed optical beam during device installation, these specific beams can be turned
off via the settings, so that other beams can be used normally. It can also be used to detect whether or not
parcel height is exceeded. Beams below the detection height can be closed, so that other beams can be used
normally, and the object will be detected when it exceeds the detection height. The default setting is full beam
enabled.
◎
Floating mask function
It is applied to the detection of obstacles in an unfixed position, such as detecting whether object length is
exceeded, but the object may fall anywhere within the range. (The set value must be less than half of the total
number of beams)
