= stopping distance in millimeters (mm)
•
S
Br
= braking distance, from the vehicle documentation, in millimeters (mm)
•
S

•
S
AnS
= distance covered during the safety laser scanner’s response time in mil‐
limeters (mm)
The distance S
AnS
depends on t
he safety laser scanner’s response time and the
vehicle’s speed. The distance S
AnS
is calculated using the following formula:
S
AnS
= t

afety laser scanner’s response time in seconds (s)
°
V
max
= maximum speed of the vehicle, from the vehicle documentation, in mil‐
limeters per second (mm/s) (If you define a number of monitoring cases with
different protective fields: V
max
= maximum speed of the vehicle in the cur‐
rent monitoring case)

4.3.10.6 Height of the scan plane
The scan plane must be at a maximum height of 200 mm everywhere. Otherwise, per‐
sons l
ying horizontally may not be detected.
