6.4 Arrangement of multiple distance measuring devices
Multiple distance measuring
devices
To mount multiple distance measuring devices, you will need to maintain
a minimum distance between the devices when they are mounted. The
minimum distance is proportional to the maximum scanning range of the
distance measuring device.

[mm]
Example • Distance measuring device: DL100–21xxxx01
• Measuring range: 0.15–100 m
• Maximum measured value: 60 m
• s
max
= 60 m
Calculation
a≥100mm+0.01x60,000mm→ 100 mm +600 mm → 700 mm
Result
a≥700mm
