•
Higher multiple sampling reduces the likelihood of a laser source influencing the
safety laser scanner. You can increase the availability by setting multiple sampling
to the highest value permitted in your application, while taking minimum distances
into account,
see "Multiple sampling", page 82
•
You can further increase the availability by choosing a suitable mounting method,
see "Mounting methods for protection from interference from systems in close
proximity", page 166
•
Avoid external light sources in the scan plane. Mount the safety laser scanner
so that it cannot be dazzled by incoming sunlight. Do not position halogen lights,
infrared light sources or stroboscopes directly on the scan plane.
NOTE
You must comply with the standard ISO 13855 when choosing the mounting method.
4.4.2
Preventing unprotected areas
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.
Mount the safety laser scanner so that people cannot enter unsecured areas. Take one
or more of the measures described below as required:
b
Attach deflector plates to prevent anyone standing behind.
b
Mount the safety laser scanner in an undercut.
b
Mount the safety laser scanner in the paneling of the machine or vehicle.
b
Mount a frame to prevent access to the area.
Unsecured areas behind the safety laser scanner
Depending on the mounting situation, areas may result, which cannot be detected by
the safety laser scanner.
The undetected areas become larger if the safety laser scanner is mounted using a
mounting kit.
