Abstract
The present invention relates to an optoelectronic sensor system for detecting objects in a monitored zone having a light transmitter for transmitting light into the monitored zone along a transmitted light path, having a light receiver for receiving received light from the monitored zone that is remitted along a received light path in the direction of the light receiver from an object to be detected in the monitored zone or a reflector bounding the monitored zone, and having an objective arrangement arranged in front of the light transmitter and the light receiver. The transmitted light path and the received light path run spaced apart from one another at least in part sections facing the light transmitter and the light receiver respectively. It is proposed that the objective arrangement has a first objective region and a second objective region laterally spaced apart from the first objective region, wherein the transmitted light path runs through the first objective region and that the sensor system has a reception space provided between the objective arrangement, on the one hand, and the light transmitter and the light receiver, on the other hand, in which reception space at least one deflection element can selectively be introduced that is configured to deflect or define the received light path such that it runs through the first objective region with an introduced deflection element and through the second objective region with a deflection element not introduced.
