5.4.2 Protective field width
The width of the protective field must cover the width of the vehicle and the supplements
for the measurement error and the lack of ground clearance.
How to calculate the protective field width S
B
(see EN ISO 13855):
 Calculate the protective field width S
B
using the formula:
S
B
= F
B
+ 2 × (Z

)
Where …
F
B
= Vehicle width
Z
G
= General safety supplement of the S300 = 100 mm
Z
R
= Supplement for any reflection related measurement error of the S300
Z
F
= Supplement for any lack of ground clearance of the vehicle
5.4.3 Height of the scan plane
Mount the S300 such that the scan plane is at a maximum height of 200 mm!
In this way also persons lying down will be reliably detected. Tilting the protective field so
that objects with a diameter of 200 mm are not detected, is not allowed. We recommend
aligning the scan plane horizontally at 150 mm.
To produce the optimal scan plane, you can also mount the S300 reversed.
