NOTE
•
You can define any number of contour segments.
•
You cannot define warning fields at the points where a contour has been config‐
ured as a reference. If, for example, you use the floor as a reference for access
protection, you cannot configure a warning field there. However, you can for exam‐
ple configure a warning field to the left and right of the contour segment to control
a warning signal on approach from the side.
•
The contour as reference function and the warning field 2 function are mutually
exclusive.
You define the contour as a reference in the CDS field set editor.
Vertical operation
In vertical operation (for access protection and hazardous point protection), you must,
in accordance with IEC 61496-3, configure the protective fields using the contour as
reference function.

NOTE
Lateral, vertical boundaries of the opening (e.g., door frame) together with the floor are
particularly suitable as a reference. If the position of the safety laser scanner is
changed in one or more planes, the distance to the reference changes. The device then
switches its safety outputs to the OFF state or signals

Monitoring cases
Overview
The device supports a configuration with multiple monitoring cases. By switching the
monitoring case you can switch to different monitoring conditions in the case of a
change to the monitoring situation.
