End to End Transmitter and receiver are mounted at either end of the protected area ? Re ective Transmitter and receiver are mounted in the same housing and the beam is directed at a specially designed re ector mounted at the opposite end of the protected area BEAM RANGE The beam range is the total distance between the beam transmitter
