SAFERY LASER SCANNER
CHAPTER 3
SAFETY INFORMATION
• The machine stopping system must be electrically controlled.
• This control system must be able to stop the dangerous movement of the machine
within the total machine stopping time T and during all the working cycle phases.
• The device mounting and connections must be carried out by qualified personnel
only, according to the indications included in the specific sections (refer to
Chapter
5, Mechanical Mounting and Chapter 6, Electrical Connections) and in the applicable
standards.
• The safety laser scanner must be securely placed in such a position that access to
the dangerous zone is not possible without passing through the safety area. This
must be done according to the indications included in the specific section (refer to
Chapter 4, Installation) and in the applicable standards.
• The personnel operating in the dangerous area must be well trained and must
have adequate knowledge of all the operating procedures of the safety laser scan
-
ner.
• In case of Manual Restart, the Restart button must be located outside the safety
area to let the operator control the safety zone during resetting or testing ses
-
sions.
• Please carefully read the instructions for correct functioning before powering the
device.
• The requirements for the electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility and
the regulations or standards in all countries and/or regions must be met by the
power supply where the Laser Sentinel is used. If the device power supply is
shared with the machine or other electronic devices, voltage reduction to the
Laser Sentinel or noise influence on the device may occur due to the temporary
increase of the current consumption on the machine or other electronic devices.
We do not recommend sharing the Laser Sentinel power supply with the one for
the machine or other electronic devices, as the device may go into Error status.
• Do not place the connection cables in contact with or near high-voltage cables
and/or cables with undergoing high current variations (e.g. motor power supplies,
inverters, etc.).
• Do not connect any of the Laser Sentinel inputs to DC power sources outside of
the declared range or to any AC power source, to avoid the risk of electric shock.
WARNING
For a correct use of the Safety Laser Sentinel, the following points must be
observed.
