DETECTION CAPABILITY SETTING
The detection capability is the ability to detect an object of given dimensions within the
detection zone. In particular, for the Laser Sentinel, the test piece taken as reference is
an opaque cylinder with at least 300mm height and the diameter equal to the detection
capability measured in millimeters.
The safety laser scanner, configured with a giv
en detection capability, will be able to
detect objects within the Safety zone; the device is also capable of detecting objects
located in the Warning zone, but the probability of detection errors could be greater
than the one guaranteed for the Safety Zone (due to specific object color or reflecting
surface).
The detection capability is a parameter that th
e user selects through the GUI. The user
selects the detection capability depending on the application requirements, because it
is a critical parameter in the calculation of the minimum safety distance from the hazard
point.
The detection capability also influences the
maximum detection range of the scanner.
