1)
The specified values are valid at an ambient temperature of 20°C. Deviations can occur at other temperatures.
2)
The conical error was described in earlier operating instructions as the deviation from the ideal scan field flatness, or a similar description.
3)
The values for tilt error apply for the M5 threaded holes on the sides.
A
dditional deviations can arise, for example, due to brackets.
Complementary information
T
he scan plane details are relative to the midpoint of the light spot. Depending on the
specific application, it may also be necessary to consider the light spot size.

13.7 Light spot size
Overview
T
he light spot has an elongated shape. The orientation of the light spot varies with the
angle at which the light beam exists the device.
The light spot has at its edges a transition area in which significantly less light hits the
object than in the central area. In the following, the light spot size is specified as the
area of the light spot that triggers a detection under normal conditions.
