Safety information
2.1
Intended use
The GLS6 grid localization sensor is an intelligent SICK-4Dpro sensor.
The GLS6 is used for automated localization of automated guided vehicle system (AGV
system) in warehouses, logistics and distribution. The device detects and decodes 2D
codes which are attached in the form of a raster on the floor. Using the data provided
by the device, the AGV is localized and repositioned by a higher-level control (e.g. PLC).
The device is primarily designed for use in industrial and logistics areas. The device
meets the applicable requirements for industrial robustness, interfaces and data pro‐
cessing.
SICK AG assumes no liability for losses or damage arising from the use of the product,
either directly or indirectly. This applies in particular to use of the product that does not
conform to its intended purpose and is not described in this documentation.
2.1.1
Operating restrictions
NOTICE
Radio interference may occur when the device is used in residential areas!
■
Only use the device in industrial environments (EN 61000-6-4).
2.1.2
Conditions for specified enclosure rating
To ensure compliance with the specified IP65 enclosure rating of the device during
operation, the following requirements must be met: If these requirements are not met,
the device does not fulfill any specified enclosure rating.
•
The cables plugged into the two electrical M12 connections must be screwed on
tightly.
•
Any electrical M12 connections (Ethernet connection) that are not being used
must be sealed with tightly-fastened protective plugs (as in the delivery condition).
•
The black cover (flap) on the rear of the device must be flush with the device and
screwed tight.
NOTICE
Operate the device with the black cover open only for a short time for the following
tasks as needed:
•
Inserting or removing the optional memory card
•
Temporary use of the USB interface as a service interface
During this time, protect the device against moisture and dust.
2.1.3
Using the USB interface
NOTE
The USB interface of the device is used in industrial environments only as a service
interface for temporary use (e.g. for configuration, troubleshooting). Permanent use in
real operation of the system as a host interface is not intended.
2.2
Improper use
Any use outside of the stated areas, in particular use outside of the technical specifica‐
tions and the requirements for intended use, will be deemed to be incorrect use.
