Figure 6.7: Muting with two light scanners
Height of the muting-sensor light beams
The two light beams of the muting sensors must have a minimum height of H.
Figure 6.8: Arrangement of the muting sensors with respect to height
Mount the muting sensors so that the intersection point of their light beams is at the same height or high-
er than the lowest light beam of the safety sensor.
This prevents—or makes more difficult—manipulation with the feet since the protective field is interrupted
before the muting-sensor light beam.
To increase safety and make manipulation more difficult, MS1 and MS2 should, if possible, be
mounted at different heights (i.e. no point-shaped intersection of the light beams).
