Operation
The F3ET light grid features optical synchronization. This
function is provided by the upper beam located on the oppo-
site side of the connector (see illustration on the right). During
operation this beam must always be kept free (unblocked).
Otherwise it will result in a longer response frequency of the
light grid.

Mounting
Mounting accessories
The F3ET2 system is mechanically installed by using the T-
slots on the two sides or the back-side of the housing.
Use the movable bolts, washers, spacers and nuts to attach
the mounting brackets as shown in the picture
Mechanical Mounting
Please mount the light grids in proper alignment as shown
in the pictures below by using the brackets provided with the
light grids.

If several light grids are installed close to each other, interference
of the light grids must be avoided. In this case the assembly
should be carried out as follows:
Note: Shipments contain a different quantity of brackets, depending on the length
of the light grid. Longer light grids contain a higher number of brackets,
following the rule of one bracket every 400 mm.

Additional mounting rigidity
It is recommended that the distance between the mounting
brackets is 400 mm or less for optimum performance of the
