Active sensor areas and response area
RFID transponder technol-
ogy
The safety switch operates with RFID transponder technology. The sensor has three active
sensor surfaces:
–
Front (black surface)
–
Both surfaces on the side (with printing)
Transponder field
The sensor generates a transponder field with a main lobe and side lobes. The main lobe
represents the defined response area of the sensor for safe switching.
Figure 2-3
Transponder field of the sensor
The side lobes of the transponder field may influence the response behavior of the sensor
depending on the actuation position and travel direction.
•
In order to avoid influence of the side lobes, observe the specified
minimum dis-
tances
between sensor and actuator.
•
Please observe the information in Section “Mounting” on page 26 and Section “Tech-
nical data and ordering data” on page 57.
