SICK MLG-2 Pro User Manual

3.4.2 Measurement principle
Provided no object is located between the sender and receiver elements, the light
beams from the sender elements will hit the receiver elements.
If an object is located between the sender and receiver elements, the light beams will
be blocked, depending on the size of the object.

Sensing range
The detection area is determined by the monitoring height and the sensing range of the
light grid. The monitoring height is determined by the beam separation and the number
of beams. The sensing range of the light grid is the distance between sender and
receiver.
3.4.3 Synchronizing the MLG-2
The sender and receiver synchronize with each other electronically, thus one electrical
connection between the sender and receiver is necessary.
3.4.4 Beam separations and monitoring height
Beam separations
In order to achieve different levels of measurement accuracy, the MLG-2 is available
with different beam separations.
