E
ESPE (Electro-Sensitive Protective Equipment)
Device or system of devices used for the safety-related detection of people or parts of the body. ESPEs
provide personal protection at machines and plants/systems where there is a risk of physical injury.
These devices/systems cause the machine or plant/system to switch over to a safe status before a
person is exposed to a dangerous situation.
F
Field of view
Sensor area of vision characterized by a specific angular coverage.
Fieldset
Structure of the field of view which can be composed of one or two detection fields.
FMCW
Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave
I
Inclination
Sensor rotation around the x-axis. The sensor inclination is the angle between the center of the field of
view of the sensor and a line parallel to the ground.
M
Machinery
The system for which the dangerous area is monitored.
Monitored area
Area that is monitored by the system. It is composed of detection field 1 (e.g. used as alarm area) and
detection field 2 (e.g. used as warning area) of all the sensors.
O
OSSD
Output Signal Switching Device
R
RCS
Radar Cross-Section. Measure of how detectable an object is by radar. It depends, among other factors,
on the material, dimension and position of the object.
T
Tolerance area
Area of the field of view where detection or not of a moving object/person depends on the
characteristics of the same object itself.
