Configurable functions
4.4.2 Scanning range of the M4000 Advanced A/P
With the M4000 Advanced A/P multiple light beam safety device you must differentiate
between the scanning range to be configured and the maximum effective scanning
range.
You must configure the scanning range to be configured to suit the deflector unit used
(mirror deflection or fibre-optic deflection) (see Tab. 8).
Deflector unit used Scanning range to be configured
Mirror deflection
• M4000 Passive with mirror deflection
or
• Two deflector mirrors PSK45 (see section 11.3.9
“Deflector mirror PSK45” on page 89)
or
• One mirror column (part number: 1027265, see
section 12.5 “Deflector mirrors and mirror
columns” on page 97)
Low scanning range
Fibre-optic deflection
• M4000 Passive with fibre-optic deflection
High scanning range
Device symbol M4000 Advanced (A/P), context menu Open device window, parameter
node General.
The maximum effective scanning range is dependent here on the number of deflections
between the M4000 Advanced A/P and the M4000 Passive and the number of additional
front screens used (see Tab. 9).

4.4.3 Scanning range of the M4000 Area 60/80
The scanning range of the M4000 Area 60/80 multiple light beam safety device is
dependent on the related resolution and the beam separation.
Additional front screens reduce the scanning range. Pay attention to the related maximum
scanning range dependent of the number of additional front screens in Tab. 10 and
Tab. 11.
