Differing minimum distance to reflective surfaces for devices with a resolution of
30 mm w
ith weld spark guard
If a device with a resolution of 30 mm is used with the weld spark guard, the following
applies in contrast to other specifications in order to determine the minimum distance
from reflective surfaces:
1. Determine the distance D between sender and receiver in meters (m).
2. Read the minimum distance a in millimeters (mm) in the graph or calculate it
based on the respective formula (see table 69).

If a device (resolution 30 mm) is used with a dynamic protective field width (large area:
0 m t
o 24 m) and with the weld spark guard, the following – in contrast with other
specifications – is used to determine the minimum distance from reflective surfaces:
1. Determine the distance D between sender and receiver in meters (m).
2. For a distance D > 6 m, calculate minimum distance a in millimeters (mm) based
on the corresponding formula (see table 70).
