Scanning range of the reference contour field
T
he effective scanning range of the reference contour field is the same as the protec‐
tive field range.
Scanning range of the contour detection field
T
he effective scanning range of the contour detection field is the same as the protective
field range.
Warning field range and distance measurement range
F
or non-safety applications (warning fields, measurement data output), the safety laser
scanner has a larger scanning range than the maximum protective field range. The
requirements for size and remission factor of objects to be detected are illustrated
in the following graphs as a function of the desired scanning range. Under good condi‐
tions, in many cases a smaller object size or a lower remission factor is sufficient to
achieve the desired scanning range.
The range is limited to 10m for warning fields.
