T
his chapter deals with your own safety and the safety of the system operators.
 Please read this chapter carefully before working with the S300 or with the machine
protected by the S300.
2.1 Qualified safety personnel
The S300 safety laser scanner must be installed, connected, commissioned and serviced
only by qualified safety personnel. Qualified safety personnel are defined as persons who
 due to their specialist training and experience have adequate knowledge of the power-
driven equipment to be checked
and
 have been instructed by the responsible machine owner in the operation of the machine
and the current valid safety guidelines
and
 are sufficiently familiar with the applicable official health and safety regulations, direc-
tives and generally recognized engineering practice (e.g. DIN standards, VDE stipula-
tions, engineering regulations from other EU member states) that they can assess the
work safety aspects of the power-driven equipment
and
 have access to these operating instructions and have read them.
As a rule these are qualified safety personnel from the ESPE manufacturer or also those
persons who have been appropriately trained at the ESPE manufacturer, are primarily
involved in checking ESPE and are allocated the task by the organization operating the
ESPE.
2.2 Applications of the device
The S300 safety laser scanner is used to protect persons and systems. It is intended to be
used to monitor hazardous areas indoors.
It is not allowed to use the S300 outdoors.
The S300 cannot provide protection from parts thrown out of the machine or emitted
radiation.
The S300 complies with the requirements in the standard on the radiated emissions as
defined for class A (industrial application); the S300 is therefore only suitable for use in an
industrial environment.
The device is a type 3 ESPE as defined by IEC 61496<1 and IEC 61496<3 and is therefore
allowed for use with category 3 PL d controls as per EN ISO 13849<1 or SIL2 as per
IEC 61508.
The S300 is suitable for:
 hazardous area protection
 hazardous point protection
 access protection
 vehicle protection (electrically powered industrial trucks)
Depending on the application, other protective devices and measures may be required in
addition to the safety laser scanner.
