When using the SE2L on an AGV, user should confirm the time and distance required for the AGV to
stop completely as it will move forward during the response time of SE2L. It is important to note that
distance required to stop is not proportional to the speed, but proportional to the square of the speed.
Further, sufficient ground clearance should be provided to prevent injuries, such as, hitting the toes.

User should ensure that the width of unprotected area “a” is smaller than the minimum
detectable width. When the distance “a” is greater than minimum detectable width,
additional protective measures should be taken to prevent the penetration through this
unprotected area.
 SE2L should not be mounted higher than 200mm to prevent the possibility of crawling
beneath the detection plane.
 Detection plane should not be inclined as this could lead to the failure of SE2L to
detect an object with a diameter of 200mm.
 User should ensure that boundary or protective measures used are not inside the
configured protected zone. It will be detected as obstacles causing the OSSD to
remain in OFF-state.
