Specification Table

The distance to the hazard is determined by the minimum detectable object and response time of the selected area sensor. Common shaft spacing: 20 mm (⌀25 mm). However, when the distance to the hazard source is short, please select a beam pitch of 10 mm (⌀15 mm). When the distance to the hazard source is greater, a more cost-effective beam pitch of 40 mm (⌀45 mm) can also be used.

When the distance to the hazard source is close Detection object ⌀15 mm (finger detection) Optical axis pitch 10 mm. Ultra-high safety type.	Common standard type Detection body ⌀25 mm (manual detection) Optical axis spacing 20 mm. Common types.	When the distance to the hazard source is relatively far Detection body ⌀45 mm (arm, leg, body detection) Optical axis pitch 40 mm. Please select this option when the installation location is far from the hazard source.

Precautions

■ About installation

(1) Bracket Installation

(2) Installation and Usage

3. Precautions for Adjacent Installation
When two or more area sensor devices are installed close to each other, mutual interference between the area sensor devices can easily occur. As shown in Figure 3-1, the infrared light emitted by the transmitter unit of Product (1) may affect the receiver unit of Product (2) . This may interfere with the protective function of product (2), which means that operators may be at risk. Therefore, please install according to Figure 3-2. Avoid installing sensors for adjacent areas on the same side without a light-blocking partition, as the light emitted by the transmitter may easily reach the receiver of a neighboring set.
Precautions for Adjacent Installation

Figure 3-1 Diagram of Mutual Interference Between Emitter (1) and Emitter (2)

Precautions for Adjacent Installation

Figure 3-2 Installation diagram to prevent mutual interference between area sensors

Precautions for Adjacent Installation

4. Correct Installation Position When There Are Reflective Objects
If there are objects with smooth reflective surfaces around the area sensor device, such as metal plates, floors, ceilings, workpieces, covers, partitions, glass panels, etc., the installation position of the area sensor should be more than A (m) away from the reflective surface. The value of A can be obtained by calculation formula or found in coordinate chart 4-2. As shown in Figure 4-1, the cone has an aperture angle α, which is formed between the optical axis and the light beam located at the edge of the optical cone. Where α = the aperture angle of the light beam, L = the distance between the emitter and receiver, and L
