10.2 Response time
The response time of the C4000 Basic/Micro/Eco is dependent on the number of beams
of the system.
How to determine the response time of the system:
⋅ Read the response times of the individual systems (shown on type label).
If you are planning the application without actually having any devices available, you may
also determine the response time using Tab. 17 and Tab. 18:
⋅ Read from Tab. 17 the number of beams of the intended system by means of the
protective field height and the physical resolution.
⋅ Read from Tab. 18 the response time of the system by means of the number of beams.
