•
If people can stay between the protective device and the hazardous point without
being detected, check if additional protective measures (e.g. restart interlock) are
required.
•
Reaching under, over and around, crawling beneath and stepping over the safety
laser scanner, as well as moving it, must be prevented.

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 attach an additional front screen.
b
If a viewing slit is required, make sure that its size is sufficient,
.
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 scan‐
ner switches the machine off, although no people are located in the protective field.
Take note of the following for a high level of 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
Prevent condensation forming on the optics cover.
