Design and mode of operation of the devices

The safety light curtain C 2000 and the multibeam photoelectric
safety switch M 2000/M 2000-Active/Passive (A/P) each have a
sender unit and a receiver unit. The light beams emitted by the sender
and received by the receiver determine a protective field defined by
the number of beams and their mutual spacing. If objects such as
parts of the body (C 2000) or people (M 2000, M 2000-A/P) intrude
into the protective field, the receiver unit stop signal halts the hazard-
ous motion.
Whereas the C 2000 unit provides a hand guard on machinery with a
resolution of between 20 mm and 40 mm, the M 2000 and M 2000-A/P
units serve as personal access guards. In addition to the sender and
receiver, the photoelectric switch M 2000-A/P uses a mirror module
which diverts the emitted light beam and reflects it to the receiver. The
