In addition to design characteristics, the safety sensor offers functions that can remedy this:
• Selectable transmission channels (see chapter 4.3)
• Range reduction (see chapter 4.4)
• Also: opposite mounting
6.2 Arrangement of the muting sensors
Muting sensors detect material and supply the signals necessary for muting. Standard IEC/TS 62046
provides basic information on arranging the muting sensors. This information must be observed when
mounting the muting sensors.
WARNING
Improper installation may result in serious injury!
If the distance between transmitter and receiver is larger than the width of the object so that gaps of more
than 180 mm are created, suitable measures, e.g. through additional guarding, must be taken to stop the
dangerous movement before persons enter the area.
Make sure that no persons can reach the danger zone alongside the transport material during muting.
Make sure that muting is only temporarily activated and only as long as the access to the danger zone
is blocked by the transport material.
If accessible distances exist between the transport material and the safety sensor, PS mats or
wicket gates monitored with Safety Switches have been tried, tested and proven as additional
safeguards. Such measures prevent injuries caused, for example, by crushing in the access ar-
ea.
