5.2.11 Using multiple LMS5xx laser measurement sensors
Risk of interference on the LMS5xx!
Sources with a wavelength of 905 nm may cause interference if they act directly on the
LMS5xx.
The LMS5xx is designed in such a way that mutual interference between several sensors is
unlikely. To completely exclude erroneous switching, we recommend mounting the laser
measurement sensors as shown in the following examples.
Use mounting kits 1 to 3 to adjust the laser measurement sensors to different angles.
Correct placement of several LMS5xx
Arrange or shield several LMS5xx such that the laser beam cannot be received by a different
LMS5xx.
