increases.

Reset to the factory setting
This function sets the MLG-2 back to the factory settings. This means that all settings
that have been configured are lost.
The alignment aid then becomes active again and a teach-in process must be carried
out.
Beam blanking
If certain areas of the detection area are not to be included in the measurement, e.g.
because these areas contain the conveying equipment, you can blank these areas
using the beam blanking function.
b
Cover the beams that you want to blank.
b
Switch to operating level 2 (press the Menu and Set pushbuttons simultaneously for
1 s).
b
Select the beam blanking function.
The co
vered beams will now be permanently blanked throughout the measurement and
will no longer be included.
NOTE
When beam blanking is activated, the blocked beams will be blanked for each subse‐
quent teach-in process. It must be ensured that one of the sync beams must be made.
Activate/deactivate alignment aid
The ali
gnment aid is activated at the factory. After the first teach-in process on the
MLG-2, the alignment aid is deactivated.
If, at a later date, you want to use the alignment aid again, you can switch it on perma‐
nently.
