Figure 5: Schematic representation of available beam separations (mm)
Maximum and minimum detection height
The number of LEDs is limited to 510. This results in different maximum detection
heights depending on the beam separation. The minimum detection height is deter‐
mined by the beam separation and the smallest module size for this beam separation.

Teach-in
During the teach-in process, the switching thresholds for all beams are individually
adjusted for the sensing range and the ambient conditions.
After teach-in has been completed, it must be ensured that the setup is no longer
changed otherwise another teach-in will have to be carried out.
