ORIGINAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS| VMS4200/5200 (Multicontroller)
3.6 Legal for trade operation
The VMS5200 (Multicontroller) MID-compliant system, therefore capable of being verified
as legal for trade, has been type-tested by the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt
(PTB). It can therefore be used for billing purposes.
When operating the VMS5200 (Multicontroller) in an application 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.
3.6.1 Information labels
There are several types of information labels in use:

of the 2D LiDAR sensors
• To ensure that the VMS5200 (Multicontroller) 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 is 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 labels of the 2D LiDAR sensors contain additional information and are to be
affixed to the information label in the LMS 1 and LMS 2 fields. 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.
