Maximum and minimum detection height
The number of LEDs is limited to 510. This results in different maximum detection
heights depending on the beam separation. The minimum detection height is deter‐
mined by the beam separation and the smallest module size for this beam separation.

3.4.4 Sensing ranges
Operating range
Light grids with a range of 2m, 3m, 5m, 8.5m and 14.5m are available. This is
referred to as the operating range, which includes an operating reserve.
Limiting range
It is also possible to operate the MLG-2 up to its limiting range, which goes beyond the
operating range.
Table 7: Limiting range
Operating range Limiting range
2m 2.8m
3m 4.2m
5m 7m
8.5m 12m
14.5m 20.3m
Operation within the limiting range requires the following conditions:
•
Clean ambient conditions
•
Front screens are cleaned regularly
•
Regular teach-in
The following functions cannot be provided when operating within the limiting range:
•
High level of operating reserves
•
High measurement accuracy
•
Transparent operating mode
•
Dust- and sunlight-resistant operating mode
3.4.5 Synchronizing the MLG-2
The sender and receiver synchronize with each other electronically, thus one electrical
connection between the sender and receiver is necessary.
3.4.6 Teach-in
During the teach-in process, the switching thresholds for all beams are individually
adjusted for the sensing range and the ambient conditions.
