NOTE
When two MLG-2s are placed opposite one another and their light beams are in oppo‐
site directions,

reflections may occur from sender 1 to receiver 2 in the case of shiny
objects.

Mounting with light in the same direction
When several MLG-2s are mounted with their light beams oriented in the same direc‐
tion, a minimum distance must be maintained between the MLG-2s. The minimum dis‐
tance increases as the distance between the sender and receiver increases and is
dependent on the operating range.
