The transmitter and receiver synchronize optically, so no electrical connection is required. For this reason, either the first or the last
beam of the automation light grid must remain unobstructed. If both beams are interrupted, measurement is no longer possible.

② Detection height
③ Beam separation
④ Scanning range
