CAUTION: Set the Dust Filter Level to the lowest value that still allows the machinery to work
without detections from dust.
• High—Use in dirty environments to filter (ignore) detection of airborne particles from being confused with objects
to detect. The scanner is less sensitive to dust and therefore avoids shutting down the machinery unnecessarily.
•
Med—Use in environments where some airborne particles are present and can influence object detection.
• Low—Use in cleaner environments where airborne particles have little effect on object detection.
4. Set these same parameters for the Warning Zone if a Warning Zone output is used.
Important:
In addition to the level of airborne particles in the scanner's environment, some special lighting conditions
also affect the detection sensitivity. These conditions are:
•
high reflective backgrounds within 3 meters of the Safety Zone boundary
• the presence of bright light within +/- 5 ° of the detection plane.
Include an additional distance in the Minimum Safety Distance calculations for these cases. See the
graphs in the SX's instruction Manual for these additional distances.

6.6.5 Create or Edit Safety and Warning Zones
Figure 65. Zone Configuration screen
Zones must be created for each scanner in the chain. To select a scanner simply highlight it in the list shown in the left-hand
panel.
A safety zone must be designed for each output configured for each scanner of the system. When multiple outputs are
configured with more than one Zone set configured, Safety Area 2 and Safety Area 3 of all Zone Sets coincide and can only
be modified from Zone Set 1 (or Zone Set 2 if Zone Set 1 is assigned the Shut Off function).
Tools are provided to draw the Safety and Warning Zones. It is possible to select different shapes and different functions to
manage the graphing.
•
On the right are the various configuration icons.
• On the left are a list of the various zones that can be configured.
• In the center is the area graph. The center of the scanner is the point where the two axes intersect.
