Standby solution
Select the Standby function for both light grids (this function is set under the energy-
saving options in SOPAS ET). You should only ever activate one light grid at a time via
the relevant inputs.
Test inputs solution
Activate the test inputs of both senders alternately. The beams will be switched off in
each case for as long as the test input is active.
Mounting solution
Mount the two MLG-2 as far apart as possible.

Minimum distance from reflective surfaces
Reflective surfaces between the sender and receiver may result in disruptive reflections
and beams being deflected and, hence, result in a failure to detect objects.
In the case of reflective surfaces, a minimum distance must be maintained between
the reflective surface and the light beams to ensure reliable operation.
This minimum distance depends on the distance between sender and receiver and on
the operating range.
