he safety component is integrated incorrectly, the dangerous state may be ended to
late.
b
Plan the integration of the safety component in accordance with the machine
requirements, see "Project planning", page 14.
2.2 Intended use
The deTem4 Core multiple light beam safety device is an electro-sensitive protective
de
vice (ESPE) and is suitable for the following applications:
•
Single-sided access protection
•

iced by qualified safety personnel only.
Project planning
For project planning, a person is considered competent when he/she has expertise and
experience in the selection and use of protective devices on machines and is familiar
with the relevant technical rules and national work safety regulations.
Mechanical mounting, electrical installation, and commissioning
F
or the task, a person is considered qualified when he/she has the expertise and expe‐
rience in the relevant field and is sufficiently familiar with the application of the protec‐
tive device on the machine to be able to assess whether it is in an operationally safe
state.
