Important information
DANGER
H
azard due to lack of effectiveness of the protective device
Persons and parts of the body to be protected may not be recognized in case of
non-observance.
b
Use a resolution of 200 mm or finer. Otherwise, protection will not be ensured
during access protection.
b
Use double sampling during access protection. Under certain circumstances, a
person could pass through the protective field without being detected when using
higher multiple sampling.
b
Use the contour of the environment as a reference to protect the protective device
from inadvertent adjustment or tampering (see "Reference contour monitoring",
page 30).
DANGER

azard due to lack of effectiveness of the protective device
If there is a retroreflector in the protective field level (distance of the retroreflector from
protective field ≤ 6 m), it may not be possible detect people and parts of the body that
are to be protected, or it may not be possible to detect them on time.
b
Avoid retroreflectors in the protective field level if possible.
b
With retroreflectors at the protective field level: Increase overrun of the protective
field over the opening to be protected by supplement Z
R
= 350 mm.
Protective field
T
he protective field must be designed so that it detects a person at a minimum
distance from the hazardous point. This distance is required to prevent a person or
part of their body from reaching the hazardous area before the end of the machine’s
dangerous state.
In access protection, the minimum distance typically defines the position at which the
safety laser scanner is mounted.
