Device synchronization
The synchronization of receiver and transmitter for creating a functioning protective field is done optically,
i.e. without cables, via two specially coded synchronization beams. A cycle (i.e. a pass from the first to the
last beam) is called a scan (see chapter 4.5 „Scan mode“). The length of a scan determines the length of
the response time and affects the calculation of the safety distance (see chapter 6.1.1).

QR code
A QR code as well as the corresponding web address are located on the safety sensor (see figure 3.2). At
the web address, you will find device information and error messages (see chapter 11.3 „Error messages
7-segment display“) after scanning the QR code with a mobile end device or after entering the web
address. When using mobile end devices, mobile service charges can accrue.

3.2 Connection technology
The transmitter and receiver feature an M12 connector as an interface to the machine control with the
following number of pins:
For the correct synchronization and function of the safety sensor, at least one of the two synchro-
