Mounting
Height of the scan plane at 70 mm resolution
Due to the radial sampling of the protective field, the optical resolution will be lower the
f
urther away you get from the safety laser scanner.
If you choose a resolution of 70 mm in the CDS for hazardous area protection, a human
leg may, in certain circumstances, not be detected. The reason in this case would be that
the beams miss the ankle on the left and right .
If you mount the S3000 higher, the scan plane is at fibula height and the leg is also
detected with an object resolution of 70 mm .
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).
5.2 Stationary vertical operation for access protection
Access protection can be used when the access to the machine can be defined by physical
means. For access protection the S3000 detects the entry of an entire body.
To ensure adequate access protection, a response time of 90 ms and a resolution of
150 mm or finer are required.
To protect the protective device against inadvertent adjustment or manipulation, you
must use the contour of the surroundings as a reference for the S3000 (see
section 4.9.3 “Using the contour as a reference” on page 55).
