Product description
3.4.3 Scanning range
The safety light curtain is available with different scanning ranges. An overview is con-
tained in Tab. 6.
Only use devices with a scanning range that matches the protective field width!
• If the scanning range is set too low, the light curtain may not switch to green.
• If the scanning range is set too great, the light curtain may malfunction. This would
mean that the operator is at risk.
• The additional front screens, which are available as accessories (see page 61), reduce
the effective scanning range per additional front screen by 8 %.

• The deflector mirrors available as accessories (see page 62) reduce the overall scan-
ning range depending on the number of deflector mirrors in the light path (see section
11.7.1 for PNS75 and section 11.7.2 for PNS125).
Do not use deflector mirrors if the formation of droplets or heavy contamination of the
deflector mirrors is to be expected!
The formation of droplets of heavy contamination can be detrimental to the reflection
behaviour. The protective function of the system will be affected and the system will thus
become unsafe. This would mean that the operator is at risk.
