Allowance Z
R
with distances below the recommended minimum distances to intense
light sources or reflective surfaces
If the recommended distances cannot be met, the allowance Z
R
must be considered when
calculating the safety distance [ 18].
The value for the allowance Z
R
depends on the selected level of the dust filter and on the
determined safety distance without this allowance.

5.7 Distance from walls
The edges of the safety zone must have a distance of 40 mm to walls or fixed objects on all
sides.
With this value, the function of the safety laser scanner is ensured. Depending on the re-
flective conditions of the walls or objects, higher allowances may be necessary (see
Dis-
tance to intense light sources and to reflective surfaces [ 24]).
5.8 Planning of safety and warning zones and zone sets
} Specify the location and the size of the safety zone and the warning zone in accord-
ance with the safety assessment.
} Specify in what situations the switching operation of the zone sets are to take place.
