4.3 Avoiding unmonitored areas
Provide separate protection for unmonitored areas!
During the installation of the V200/V300 safety camera system, incorrect mounting or
mutual interference between several systems may result in areas that are not monitored
and through which an operator could reach the hazardous point.
⋅ Protect unmonitored areas using mechanical guards.
⋅ Note the following warning and precautions to prevent unmonitored areas!
Avoid mounting in a frame!
In the case if mounting in a frame, due to the principle of operation unmonitored areas will
be produced through which an operator could reach the hazardous point.
⋅ Mount the camera on the frame instead of in the frame to avoid unmonitored areas
from the start (see section 4.4.1 “Mounting on a frame” on page 27).
⋅ If mounting in a frame is nevertheless necessary, you must identify the unmonitored
areas with the aid of the test rod and provide protection using mechanical panels.
In the case of mounting in a frame, the unmonitored area reaches from the inside of the
mounting corner to the position at which the test rod is safely detected (see Fig. 10).
