Configurable functions
• Additional front screens (SICK accessories see page 95) reduce the effective scanning
range.
• Deflector mirrors (see page 88f.) reduce the effective scanning range. It is dependent
on the number of deflector mirrors in the light path.
• A further reduction in the scanning range is possible due to soiling, e.g. of the additional
front screens or deflector mirrors used.
• The scanning ranges with deflector mirrors given apply for beam deflections between
80° and 110°.
4.4.1 Scanning range of the M4000 Advanced
You can set the M4000 Advanced multiple light beam safety device to two different
scanning ranges. The effective scanning range is dependent here upon the dimension of
the light path between sender and receiver and the number of deflector mirrors and
additional front screens used. You will find the necessary scanning ranges and the
resulting setting in Tab. 7.
The following scanning ranges are available:
• low scanning range (0.5-20 m)
• high scanning range (15-70 m)
