Resolution
T
he resolution describes the size of the smallest object detected by the safety light cur‐
tain in the protective field. The resolution corresponds to the diameter of the test rod
belonging to the safety light curtain.
The safety light curtain has a resolution of 30 mm. This resolution provides hand pro‐
tection.
Scanning range
The scanning range is the maximum protective field width.
The scanning range is reduced by using deflector mirrors.
