The picture shows options for configuring the 8K3 series safety light curtain in 
applications using non-integrated mute sensors. 
 
There are particular applications where the standard mute modules are not 
suitable for example, where there is a limitation in the space available for 
mounting the modules.  In such cases external sensors that allow more flexibility 
are often used. 
 
Polarised retro-reflective sensor - Type 109-016A, Maximum range = 4m 
 
The sensor transceiver comes complete with polarised reflector, a 1.5m cable, 
mounting brackets and a 4 pin bayonet locking connector for direct connection to 
the mute input sockets, M1 and M2, on the Receiver (Rx) head of the 8K3 series 
safety light curtain. 
 
The sensors can be used in the cross-beam configuration.
