The length of the protective field to be programmed L

Where:
L

1.1 = Supplement 10% of the stopping distance for wear on the brakes
L
Fork
= Fork length or maximum distance from the mounting position for the S3000 to
the front edge of the load.
S
PF
= Protective field supplement from Tab. 1
– For the measurement error on the S3000
– For the effect of the inclination of the protective field on the effective, horizontal
protective field length
– To compensate for the increasing distance between the middle of the test object and
the front of the shelf with increasing aisle width to suit the rule for supplements. The
rule for supplements states that for each cm movement of the test object from its
original position (12.5 cm) in the direction of the middle of the narrow aisle, a
supplement of 20 cm must be applied to the protective field length. The maximum
distance from the middle of the test object to the front of the shelf that can be
assumed is 20 cm (see Tab. 1).
The maximum permissible protective field lengths as a function of the distance from the
middle of the S3000 to the front of the empty shelf are defined in Tab. 1 on page 11 and
shown in Fig. 4.
The usable protective field length L
u
se
for the stopping distance including brake
supplement and fork length is given by the maximum protective field length L

after
deduction of the supplement S
