Height of the scan plane
Overview
Take into consideration both the minimum and maximum height of the scan plane. You
can use the fixing holes of the safe multibeam scanner as a reference for the scan
plane.
Minimum height
The safe multibeam scanner checks every protective or warning field using a vertical
aperture angle of up to 4°. Calculate the minimum height for the scan plane so that the
protective or warning field is not disturbed by the floor.

Maximum height
The scan plane must be at a maximum height of 200 mm everywhere. Otherwise,
persons lying horizontally may not be detected.
In many cases, a mounting height (height of the scan plane) of 150 mm above the floor
is suitable.
