Scanning range of the M4000 Advanced
You can set the M4000 Advanced multiple light beam safety device to two different scan-
ning ranges. The effective scanning range is dependent here upon the dimension of the
light path between sender and receiver and the number of deflector mirrors and additional
front screens used. You will find the necessary scanning ranges and the resulting setting
in Tab. 14.
The following scanning ranges are available:
low scanning range (0.5-20 m)
high scanning range (9-70 m)
