SUPPLEMENTARY OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS | VMS4100/5100
3.8 Legal for trade operation
The MID-compliant, and therefore officially verifiable, VMS5100 system has been type-
tested by the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB). It can therefore be used for
billing purposes.
When operating the VMS5100 in a situation requiring official legal-for-trade verification,
be sure to comply with applicable national law. SICK can assist you with this in an
advisory capacity on request. However, this assistance is not a substitute for legal advice.
3.8.1 Information labels
There are several types of information labels in use:

with affixed type label for the 2D LiDAR sensor
Legend
1 System information label
2 Type label for the 2D LiDAR sensor
• To ensure that the VMS5100 is operated in such a way that it can be verified as legal
for trade, one or two system information labels – depending on whether fixed scale
values or dynamic scale value switchover are used – containing information about
the maximum and minimum dimensions for the length (L), width (W), and height (H),
as well as the relevant scale value (d) must be attached to the multi-dimensional
measurement system in a highly visible location.
• The missing values are to be entered by hand on site, using waterproof permanent ink.
Alternatively, printable templates are available online.
• The type label for the 2D LiDAR sensor contains additional information and is affixed to
the information label in the LMS field. The SW field contains the version number of the
device software.
• Each system identification label must be attached to the system in such a manner that
it can be seen by the operator and associated with the multi-dimensional measurement
system.
