SICK TiM361S

2 Safety information
2.1 Intended use
The TiM361S is a safety-related LiDAR sensor (laser scanner) that is suitable for the
following applications:
•
Hazardous area protection
•
Hazardous point protection
•
Access protection
•
Mobile hazardous area protection (protection of mobile platforms)
The device is intended for use as a sensor in personal protection equipment, in mobile
applications on electrically operated autonomous platforms, as well as in stationary
applications for access protection and presence monitoring.
The safety-related 2D LiDAR sensor must only be used within the limits of the prescri‐
bed and specified technical data (see "Safety-related parameters", page 58) and
operating conditions at all times.
Use inconsistent with the intended use, operation beyond the technical limits, improper
modification of, or manipulation of the device, will invalidate any warranty from SICK;
in addition, any responsibility and liability of SICK AG for damage and consequential
damage caused by this is excluded.
2.1.1 Reasonably foreseeable misuse
WARNING
Risk of ineffectiveness of the protective device!
Persons and parts of the body to be protected may not recognized in case of non-obser‐
vance.
The device works as an indirect protective measure and cannot provide protection from
pieces thrown from the application nor from emitted radiation. Objects within the blind
zone and outside of the safety-related detection zone as well as transparent objects will
not be detected.
•
You must only use the device as an indirect protective measure.
The device is not suitable for the following applications (this list is not exhaustive):
•
Outdoors
•
Underwater
•
In explosion-hazardous areas
•
Use beyond the technical specifications
As a safety-related sensor, the device with performance level b (PL b) and Category
B (according to EN ISO 13849-1:2015) is only intended to perform part of the safety
function (partial safety function). In its safety function, it provides sensor information to
a downstream logic unit for further processing.
The safety function arises only in context with the target application, for example
machine tools, a mobile platform, or a service robot.
Requirements and features of the application may differ from the features and char‐
acteristic values of the product and must be evaluated within the scope of project
planning.
2.2
Improper use
Any use outside of the stated areas, in particular use outside of the technical specifica‐
tions and the requirements for intended use, will be deemed to be incorrect use.
