Only if the object also meets the minimum detectable object length requirements.
3.6.2 Minimum detectable object length
When an object moves through the detection area, it must have a certain length.

NOTE
For mo
ving objects, the minimum detectable object length also depends on the speed
of the object.

3.6.3 Minimum detectable object with cross-beam function
The parallel-beam function is used for measuring by default. With the parallel-beam
f
unc
tion, each light beam is received only by the receiver element situated directly
opposite.
With the cross-beam function, a sender LED projects beams to several receiver diodes.
The cross-beam function increases the measurement accuracy and enables the detec‐
tion of smaller objects.
