4.3.7.2 Protective field width
The width of the protective field must cover the width of the vehicle and take into
ac
count the supplements for the measurement errors and the lack of ground clear‐
ance.
Calculate the protective field width S
B
using the following formula:
•
S
B
= F
B
+ 2 × (Z
G
+ Z
R
+ Z
F
)
where
•
F
B
= Vehicle width
•
Z
G
= General supplement = 100 mm
•
Z
R
= Supplement for a possible reflection-related measurement error of the safety
laser scanner
•
Z
F
= Supplement for a possible lack of ground clearance of the vehicle
NOTE
T
he S3000 is normally mounted in the middle of the vehicle. If this is not the case, the
protective field must be defined asymmetrically. The CDS displays the fields as they
appear in the topview of the safety laser scanner. There must be supplements on the
right and left of the vehicle.

Mount the safety laser scanner so that the maximum scan plane height is
200 mm.
