5 Mounting
This chapter describes the preparation and completion of the mounting of the S3000
safety laser scanner.
Mounting requires four steps:
definition of the application and the necessary mounting location for the safety laser
scanner
calculation of the protective field sizes and minimum distances (see EN ISO 13855)
You can enter the calculated protective field sizes with the aid of the CDS. Or leave the
S3000 to suggest the protective fields. In the latter case check whether the suggested
sizes correspond to those calculated. Thus in any circumstance you must calculate the
protective field size.
definition of the switching point between monitoring cases
mounting the safety laser scanner with or without mounting kits
No protective function without sufficient minimum distance!
Only if you configure the protective field such that there is an adequate minimum distance
to the hazardous area, is protection by the S3000 ensured.
Mount the S3000 in a dry place and protect the device from dirt and damage.
Avoid strong electrical fields. These can, e.g., be produced by welding cables, induction
cables in the immediate vicinity and also by mobile telephones operated nearby.
Ensure that there are no obstacles in the area to be monitored in the field of view of the
S3000 that could cause interference or shadowing. Such shadowed areas cannot be
monitored by the S3000. If there are unavoidable shadowed areas, check whether there
is a risk. Take additional safety precautions as necessary.
Keep the area to be monitored free of smoke, fog, steam or other forms of air impurities.
Otherwise the function of the S3000 may be impaired and incorrect switching may
occur.
Avoid placing highly reflective objects in the scan plane of the S3000. Examples:
Retroreflectors can affect the measurement results of the S3000. Reflective objects can
blank part of the area to be monitored.
Mount the S3000 such that it is not dazzled by incident sunlight. Do not position
stroboscopic and fluorescent lights directly in the scan plane as these may affect the
S3000 in specific circumstances.
Mark the protective field on the floor, if appropriate for the application (see EN 61496,
part 1, chapter 7).
The following steps are necessary after mounting:
completing the electrical connections (chapter 6 “Electrical installation”)
configuration of the protective field (chapter 8 “Configuration”)
commissioning and checking of the installation (chapter 9 “Commissioning”)
checking the function and safe shutdown (section 9.2 “Test notes”)
