6.2 USE OF MIRRORS
To the protection of areas in applications with more than one side you can use mirrors to deflect
light and thus provide the necessary control. It is important to observe the minimum safety
distance on all monitored sides.
The maximum range of the light curtain must be equal or higher than the sum of the distances
from all sides. For each mirror used the maximum range of the light curtain is reduced by 15 %.
We do not recommend more than two mirrors, if necessary, an association of light curtains,
mirror and mechanical protections can be applied (See
on page 29
and
Figure 6.10 on page
During installation take measures to avoid twisting along the longitudinal axis of the mirror.
