Applying OS32C on Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV)
AGVs equipped with an OS32C should only be used on private or company property and not allowed
to operate on public streets. The OS32C must only be used in AGV applications where the vehicle is
equipped with an electric motor. In addition to the following guidelines, it is important that you follow the
AGV manufacturer’s recommendations.
Positioning Height
The OS32C must be mounted so that it provides a horizontal safety scan plane in the path of the AGV.
The height of the scan plane must not exceed 200mm. It is recommended that the installation height of
the scan plane be 150mm so that objects with a height of 150mm can be detected. After installation,
the entire hazardous area must be tested to verify detection of the 150mm object.

Protruding Front End Mounting
When the application requires installation on the vehicle's front end, it is necessary to eliminate dead
zones. These inactive zones can be minimized by recessed installation of the OS32C. On vehicles
capable of speeds greater than 0.3m/sec within 3 seconds, the dead zone must be minimized to
prevent the operator from standing in the non-detection zone. Additional guarding safety measures
must be taken, i.e. hard guarding or pressure sensitive bumper.
