Determining minimum distance from reflective surfaces with automated calibration of
t
he protective field width
The minimum distance can be determined as follows:
b
Determine the distance between sender and receiver D in meters (m).
b
Read the minimum distance a in millimeters (mm) in the graph or calculate using
the respective formula to determine the minimum distance to reflective surfaces:

Figure 14: Preventing mutual interference from system
1 and system 2
The infrared light beams of the sender of system 1 can interfere with the receiver of
system 2. This can disrupt the protective function of system 2. This would mean that
the operator is at risk.
