5.11 Dust filtration
The safety laser scanner has a dust filtration function. This changes the sensitivity of the
safety laser scanner, and the availability in dusty environments can be improved.
There are three levels:
} High for high level of dust generation
} Average for medium level of dust generation
} Low of low level of dust generation
WARNING!
Loss of safety function due to a safety distance that is too low
Depending on the application, serious injury or death may result.
} Depending on the degree of dust filtering, it is necessary to consider an
allowance for calculating the safety distance when installing the safety
laser scanner near intense light sources or reflective surfaces into ac-
count (see
Distance to intense light sources and to reflective
surfaces [ 24]).
– When calculating the safety distance, ensure that the allowance is
considered depending on the dust filtering.
– Ensure that the new safety distance fulfils the specifications of the
safety assessment.
