Side by Side or Multiple System Installation
To prevent mutual interference or cross talk, pointing emitters in opposite directions
may be
necessary in side-by-side or multiple system installations to ensure proper operation.
If two or more FF-SPS4 safety perimeter systems are installed, optical interference may occur
if a receiver receives signals from two emitter devices. This condition may occur due to the
±
2° effective aperture angle of the emitter/receiver and the nominal scanning range (up to
75 m [246 ft]). To provide side protection, point the emitters in opposite directions (see figure
2-6).

To ease installation (wiring), emitters may be pointed in the same direction, especially when
multiple systems are perimeter guarding the same side of a machine. To prevent any mutual
interference or crosstalk, select two different emission frequencies of infrared modulated light
by using the two internal switches F1 or F2 (see figure 2-7).
