Safety
WARNING
System does not comply with safety standards
TPS is not suitable for the protection of humans within the meaning of the applicable
safety standards for machines. The system therefore does not comply with safety
standards.
TPS is a driver assistance system. It provides the driver with visual and acoustic warnings
about objects outside of the truck, hazardous areas and departure of the road. At all times
the driver bears the full responsibility for safe operation, in particular for people who are in
the hazardous zones of the truck.
WARNING
Location of use
The system is intended exclusively for use in industrial environments.
2.4.3
Potential sources of danger
Laser protection
WARNING
Damage to the eye by laser beams
The LD-MRS 3D LiDAR senor used by TPS conform to laser class 1 (eye-safe) as per
EN/IEC 60825-1 (see laser warning label on the device for publication date), 21 CFR
1040.10 and 21 CFR 1040.11.
The LMS151 2D LiDAR sensor used by TPS corresponds to laser class 1 (eye safe) as per
EN/IEC 60825-1 (see laser warning label on the device for publication date).
This complies with 21 CFR 1040.10 with the exception of the deviations as per Laser
Notice No. 50, June, 2007.
The laser operates at a wavelength γ = approx. 905 nm (invisible infrared light). The laser
beam is not visible to the human eye.
The radiation emitted in normal operation is harmless to human skin and eyes.
Improper use (e.g., opening the housing and stopping the motor) can result in dangerous
exposure to radiation.
Never open the LiDAR sensor housing. Opening the housing does not interrupt the
operation of the laser beam.
Observe the laser safety regulations as per IEC 60 825-1 (latest version).
No maintenance is required to ensure compliance with laser class 1.
The laser output apertures are the optics cover on the LMS151 and LD-MRS LiDAR
sensors.
The laser warning is located on the right side of the LiDAR sensor.
