4.1 Example for determining the angular error on the
industrial truck
 At a distance between the guide elements on the industrial truck of 1.8 m, the
maximum permissible play per guide element is ± 0.5 cm (see Fig. 1).
 Determination of the guide play at the vehicle:
– For mechanical guides: If the guide elements on the left are in contact with the guide
rail (0 cm play) the distance between the elements on the right and the rail is allowed
to be a maximum of 2 × 0.5 cm = 1 cm.
– For inductive guides: The industrial truck is allowed to diverge from the guide line by
a maximum of ±0.5 cm.
4.2 Mounting of the S3000
The following points are to be noted when mounting the S3000:
 For reasons of availability (pitching movements of the industrial truck) the bottom edge
of the S3000 housing should be at least H
S3000
= 50 mm above the floor.
 For applications in mixed operation, the sensor must be mounted with the protective
field horizontal or pointing down slightly. The latter is recommended as a measure
against glare (e.g. sun) or mutual interference (several sensors).
 For such applications the scanner must be mounted such that the scan plane is a
maximum of 200 mm high. In this way persons lying down will be reliably detected. We
recommend aligning the scan plane at 150 mm.
When driving forwards the lifting device (fork) must be raised sufficiently such that the
protective field on the S3000 is unoccupied. Here the work safety regulations
BGV D27 §12, sections 2 and 3, are to be observed.
