NOTICE
Possible impairment of the availability due to systems mounted close to each other!
The transmitter of one system can influence the receiver of the other system.
Ä Prevent optical crosstalk between adjacent devices.
Ä Mount adjacent devices with a shield between them or install a dividing wall to prevent mutual interfer-
ence.
Ä Mount the adjacent devices opposite from one another to prevent mutual interference.

In addition to design characteristics, the safety sensor offers functions that can remedy this:
• Selectable transmission channels (see chapter 4.3 "Transmission channel changeover")
