A-18 Extracts from OSHA and ANSI
8.3.2.10 The total tolerance in the range
measurement of an area scanning presence-
sensing device shall be included in determining
the distance from the nearest recognized hazard
to the detection area or zone. This detection
area shall be identified and tested to ensure that
the device is able to detect individuals entering
the detection area. The effective sensing field
shall be verified for proper size and coverage
upon installation, replacement, or changes of
the detection area.
E8.3.2.10 When the area scanning presence-
sensing device is horizontally mounted, the
detection area or zone should be visibly marked
on the floor. This verification can be
accomplished by using a programming device or
by physically identifying the perimeter of the
detection area with an appropriate test rod,
following the supplier‘s recommendation. This
verification is to ensure that a pre-programmed
area scanning presence-sensing device with a
small or improper detection area is not used by
mistake in an installation requiring a larger field.
Area scanning presence-sensing device may
not be suitable (effective) safeguards when
used to protect an individual‘s hands or fingers
from hazards.
Items which can affect this suitability are:
• response time;
• minimum object sensitivity;
• measurement accuracy.
