Lateral actuation only from the shown sensor side
3.5 Switching distance
The side allows for a maximum height misalignment (X) of sensor
and actuator of ± 8 mm (e.g. mounting tolerance or due to guard door
sagging). The axial misalignment (Y) is max. ± 18 mm.

Preferred actuation directions: from front or from side
In case of a lateral actuation, the switching distances are
reduced by approx. 3 mm.
