6.1.4 Vertical application
A vertical application is given when the safety laser scanner is aligned at an angle of over
±30° with the floor level.

Icon Meaning
S Minimum distance in mm, measured from the start of the safety zone to the
danger source
K Approach speed with which the object to be detected is nearing the danger
zone in mm/s
K = 1600 mm/s when S > 500 mm
K = 2000 mm/s when S ≤ 500 mm
t

Overall response time of the safety laser scanner in seconds (see Calcula-
tion of the overall response time [ 43])
Time between the violation of a safety zone and signal change at the OSSD
output on the safety laser scanner
t
2
Machine's stopping time in seconds
The time required for the machine to stop after the signal at the OSSD out-
put changes
