Scanning ranges
The oper
ating range is the distance between sender and receiver for which the MLG-2
works safely. The operating range is 2.5 m and takes into account an operating reserve.
Measurement field width
The MLG-2 consists of measurement modules and optionally empty modules. The mea‐
surement modules can be located on the connection side and on the head of the
MLG-2. Empty modules do not have LEDs.
The measurement field width is calculated from the ordered module number. Positions
9 to 11 represent the module number in the type code.
