Configurable functions
Blanked areas require a separate risk analysis!
A blanked area is in principle a hole in the protective field. Check in detail whether and
where blanking is actually required. You must protect the blanked area in another way, e.g.
mechanically. Otherwise you must take the blanked area into consideration in the calcu-
lation of the safety distance and mount the safety light curtain appropriately.
After modifying the blanking, check the protective field with the test rod. Instructions can
be found in chapter 7.3.3 on page 58.
Also pay attention to the warnings in the related chapter.
