Installation and commissioning
 During the design of the protective field ensure the field is adequate to prevent a
hazard.
 Note that the CDS function ‘Protective field suggestion’ is unsuitable due to the random
actual position of the vehicle in the aisle and the yaw movement of the vehicle as it
moves along the aisle.
 All S3000 variants provide the required resolution of 70 mm at the max. protective field
radius. As a result only the bottom cylindrical part of the test object is relevant.
4.4.1 Required protective field length
During the determination of the necessary protective field length by driving trials, the
parameters are to be set in the vehicle to produce the longest stopping distance. As a rule
these are:
 the maximum velocity that can be achieved
 the maximum load to be expected and the maximum load dimensions to be expected
When performing the braking trials, observe the following:
 Forward and reverse motion are to be checked separately.
 Perform at least 5 driving trials in each direction of movement.
The stopping distance L
Stop
comprises the distance covered during the response time of
the S3000 as per the operating instructions, the response time of the controller and the
braking distance.
 Determine the stopping distance with action of the protective field only.
