Remedial measures:
b
Use suitable damping measures, e.g, for vehicles:
°
damping elements in the chassis
°
Damping elements between the chassis and the safety laser scanner bracket
°
soft tires (e.g., pneumatic tires)
Environment with few objects
If the safety laser scanner does not detect any objects within the measuring range
for an extended period of time, the integrated tamper protection switches the safety
outputs to the OFF state.
DANGER
Hazard due to lack of effectiveness of the protective device
Persons or parts of the body to be protected may not be recognized or not recognized in
time in case of non-observance.
The tampering protection is switched off for the application type
Large areas
. Tampering
by positioning objects at close range (< 50 mm in front of the optics cover) may not be
detected.
b
Take the risk of tampering into account in the risk assessment.
b
When using the
Large areas
application type, perform regular checks to ensure that
there are no objects at close range (< 50 mm from the optics cover) impairing the
line of sight of the device.
If the device is used in an environment with few objects, the tamper protection can be
deactivated by using the
Large areas
application type,
. When
using this application type, the risk of tampering must be taken into account in the risk
assessment, and regular checks must be performed to ensure that there are no objects
at close range (< 50 mm from the optics cover) impairing the line of sight of the device.

Assembly
Important information
DANGER
Hazard due to lack of effectiveness of the protective device
Persons and parts of the body to be protected may not be recognized in case of
non-observance.
The optical beam path must not be disrupted, e.g. if the system is incorporated into
paneling.
b
Do not apply an additional front screen.
b
If a viewing slit is required, make sure that it is adequately dimensioned,
"Dimensional drawings", page 141
NOTE
Certain optical and electromagnetic ambient conditions can affect the safety laser
scanner. This may impair the machine’s availability. That is to say, the safety laser
scanner switches the machine off, although no people are located in the protective
field.
For high availability:
b
Avoid having strong electric fields in the vicinity of the safety laser scanner. These
may be caused by nearby welding or induction cables, for example.
b
Avoid condensation on the optics cover.
