Leuze electronic MLC 520 - Range Reduction

Functions
Leuze electronic MLC 520 16
4.4 Range reduction
In addition to selecting the suitable transmission channels (see chapter 4.3 "Transmission channel
changeover"), the range reduction also serves to prevent mutual interference of adjacent safety sensors.
Activating the function reduces the light power of the transmitter so that around half of the nominal range is
reached.
Reducing range:
Ä Wire pin4 (see chapter 7.1 "Pin assignment transmitter and receiver").
ð The wiring of pin4 determines the transmitting power and thereby the range.
WARNING
Impairment of the protective function due to incorrect transmitting power!
The light power emitted from the transmitter is reduced through a single channel and without
safety-relevant monitoring.
Ä Do not use this configuration option for safety purposes.
Ä Note that the distance to reflective surfaces must always be selected so that no reflection
bypass can occur even at maximum transmitting power (see chapter 6.1.4 "Minimum dis-
tance to reflective surfaces").
