Minimum distance for cascaded systems
In a cascaded system with a protective field width of up to 3 m you must maintain a
minimum distance of 529 mm between the host and guest 2 during mounting.
For a protective field width of more than 3 m, read the minimum distance
a
[mm] from
the graph:
Or:
Calculate the minimum distance for a protective field width of more than 3 m using the
formula
a
[mm] = tan 10° ×
D
[m] × 1000
Example:
a = tan 10° × 4 m × 1000
a = 705.31 mm ~ 706 mm
