5.6 Distance to intense light sources and to reflective surfaces
Minimum distance to especially intense or flashing light sources
Pilz recommends that the safety laser scanner is not installed near particularly intense or
flashing light sources.
When especially intense or flashing light sources are near the safety laser scanner (area of
+/-5° to the scanning plane, see figure), an allowance has to be considered when calculat-
ing the safety distance.

Minimum distance from reflective surfaces
If there are reflective surfaces near the laser beams emitted from the safety laser scanner
(whether from above, below, or from the side), passive reflections can cause an object
within the safety zone to remain undetected (see diagrams).
} Objects that may be influenced by safety laser scanners through ambient light, must not
be placed within the opening angle of the laser beam.
} Pilz recommends that the safety laser scanner is installed at a minimum distance of 2.5
m from reflective surfaces (The recommendation has been determined with a reflection
of the background of 300

. For highly reflective backgrounds an additional safety
assessment is required, taking into account the reflective background. This may result
in a higher allowance.)
