T
he S3000 type is a category 3 device for the protection of personnel in accordance with
EN ISO 13849F1 and SIL 2 in accordance with IEC 61508/EN 61508. The S3000 is
suitable for use on industrial trucks in narrow aisles. Taking into account document 3 in
c
hapter 2 “Regulations to be observed” on page 5, usage is also possible on the correct
simultaneous presence in a narrow aisle of pedestrians and industrial trucks for accessing
shelving.
The following notes relate to the mounting and the operation of the S3000, as per the
work safety regulations “Flurförderzeuge” (Industrial trucks) (BGV D27) as well as
DIN 15185, part 2.
These regulations include, among other aspects:
 There must not be any aisles crossing the narrow aisles. Crossing aisles that are only
provided as an emergency exit route for the operators are excluded from this
requirement.
 The velocity of the vehicle must be reduced to creep speed, i.e. maximum 2.5 km/h, on
leaving the narrow aisle. This requirement also applies on approaching the end of an
aisle (blind aisle): Only creep speed is to be possible if the S3000 is bypassed by the
driver.
 If the S3000 is shut down when the industrial truck leaves the narrow aisle, the shut
down at the end of the aisle must comply as a minimum with category 2 in accordance
with EN ISO 13849F1. The point for the shut down must be selected such that the path
covered with the S3000 deactivated is as short as possible. After the vehicle has re-
entered a narrow aisle, the S3000 must be switched back on automatically.
 For safe operation with high availability, goods must not protrude beyond the front of
the shelf in the narrow aisle after storage. Otherwise, operation of the stacker with the
stipulated distance between the protective field and the front of the shelf will not be
possible. In addition, at these heights retroreflectors are not permitted. Exceptions are
reflectors at the start and end of the narrow aisle for the detection of the ends of the
aisle with which the S3000 is activated on entry into the aisle and deactivated on
leaving the aisle.
 The protective field dimensions allowed for the protection of narrow aisles as given in
section 4.4.1 in Fig. 4 on page 9 and in section 4.4.2 in Tab. 1 on page 11.
 The play on the guidance of the industrial truck has a significant effect on the reliability
of the detection and the availability of the entire system. The maximum permissible
angular error relative to the symmetrical middle position for the industrial truck in the
narrow aisle is ±0.3°. The related value pairs for the distance between the guide
elements for the industrial truck and maximum play per guide element are given in
section 4.1, Fig. 1 on page 7.
