Switching fields suggested by the laser scanner
The CDS-S100 can suggest the switching fields. The laser scanner scans the visible room
contour several times. From the data obtained the CDS-S100 suggests the contour and
size of the field.
In those places at which the room contour is smaller than the maximum switching field
range (e.g. at ), the switching field corresponds to the room contour.
A general error tolerance of 100 mm is subtracted radially from the switching field contour.
As a result the switching field is slightly smaller than the surface covered .
In the area where the room contour is larger than the switching field range , the
switching field corresponds to the switching field range (see Tab. 3 on page 20).
Before commissioning, thoroughly check whether the size of the suggested switching fields
matches the switching field size necessary for your application.
You can display a suggestion for a switching field in the field set editor in the CDS-S100.
