Mounting
Supplement C for protection against reaching over
With a protective field installed horizontally, there is a risk that people may reach over the
p
rotective field and in this way reach the hazardous area before the S3000 shuts down
the dangerous state. For this reason the calculation of the minimum distance must take
into account a supplement to prevent persons from finding themselves in a hazardous
situation by reaching over (see EN ISO 13857, table 1) before the S3000 triggers.
The necessary supplement for the minimum distance is dependent on the height of the
scan plane for the protective field. At low heights  the supplement is larger than at
greater heights .
Prevent the possibility of crawling beneath the protective device if you mount it higher
than 300 mm!
Prevent personnel from being able to crawl beneath the protective field by means of
appropriate mounting of the S3000. If you mount the protective device higher than
300 mm, you must prevent crawling beneath by means of additional measures. For
applications that are accessible to the public, the mounting height may need to be
reduced to 200 mm (on this subject see the appropriate regulations).
