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
Make sure that the following design requirements are met so that the safety laser
scanner can fulfill its protective function.
•
T
he safety laser scanner must be affixed so that people or parts of the body are
reliably detected upon entry into the hazardous area.
•
The safety laser scanner must be affixed so that no mirrors or other exceedingly
reflective objects are in the protective field.
•
The safety laser scanner must be affixed so that no small objects (e.g. cables) are
in the protective field, even if the safety outputs do not switch to the OFF state as
a result.
•
The safety laser scanner must be affixed so that no obstacles disrupt the safety
laser scanner’s field of view. Take additional protective measures if a risk arises
due to unavoidable obstacles.
•
If people can stay between the protective device and the hazardous point without
being detected, check if additional protective measures (e.g. restart interlock) are
required.
•
Reaching under, over and around, crawling beneath and stepping over the safety
laser scanner, as well as moving it, must be prevented.
