SICK GLS611 - 2 Safety Information; Intended Use; Conditions for Specified Enclosure Rating; Improper Use

2 Safety information
2.1 Intended use
The GLS611 is an intelligent SICK-4Dpro sensor.
The GLS611 is used for automated localization of automated guided vehicle system
(AGV system) in warehouses, logistics and distribution. The device detects and decodes
2D codes which are attached in the form of a raster on the floor. Using the data
provided by the device, the AGV is localized and repositioned by a higher-level control
(e.g. PLC).
The device is primarily designed for use in industrial and logistics areas. The device
meets the applicable requirements for industrial robustness, interfaces and data pro‐
cessing.
SICK AG assumes no liability for losses or damage arising from the use of the product,
either directly or indirectly. This applies in particular to use of the product that does not
conform to its intended purpose and is not described in this documentation.
2.1.1 Conditions for specified enclosure rating
To ensure compliance with the specified IP54 enclosure rating of the device during

tective cap (as in the delivery condition).
2.2
Improper use
Any use outside of the stated areas, in particular use outside of the technical specifica‐
tions and the requirements for intended use, will be deemed to be incorrect use.
•
The device does not constitute a safety component in accordance with the respec‐
tive applicable safety standards for machines.
•
The device must not be used in explosion-hazardous areas, in corrosive environ‐
ments or under extreme environmental conditions.
