6 Applications
The following chapters essentially describe the safety sensor's usage possibilities.
• To safely mount the safety sensor for the respective application, see chapter 7 "Mounting".
• For the electrical connection of the safety sensor, see chapter 8 "Electrical connection".
• To safely configure the safety sensor for the respective application, see chapter 9 "Configuring the
safety sensor".
6.1 Stationary danger zone guarding
Stationary danger zone guarding enables a very spacious protection of people on machines that are to re-
main as accessible as much as possible. The safety sensor is applied as a stop-activating and presence-
detecting protective device. The safety sensor's protective field is set up horizontally in front of the machine
or system's point of operation.
You can also use the stationary danger zone guarding if you do have to guard areas under the machine or
at the rear that are not visible.
If the danger zone changes during operation, the respective danger zone is guarded by means of a field
pair changeover while the working area is accessible.

6.2 Stationary point of operation guarding
Hand and arm protection are always required when people must work at the point of operation. The safety
sensor is applied as a stop-activating and presence-detecting protective device. The safety sensor's pro-
tective field is set up vertically in front of the machine or system's point of operation. In accordance with
ENISO13855, resolutions from 14to40mm make sense here. This yields the necessary safety distance
for finger protection, amongothers (see chapter 7.3 "Stationary point of operation guarding").
