Range Reduction Using MSM Series Corner Mirrors
Use of corner mirrors reduces light screen range (the maximum separation between
the emitter and receiver). The following table lists the resultant range when using
from one to four MSM Series corner mirrors in the sensing path.

Light Screen Maximum Range
Maximized excess gain is always important when installing a safety light screen. Use
hard guarding whenever possible to reduce the overall sensing range and the number
of mirrors required. Also, keep sensor lenses and mirrors clean and properly aligned.
