Calculate the real detection distance
The actual detection distance
Dalarm
is the value to be entered on the
Configuration
page of the safeRS3 Designer application.
Dalarm
indicates the maximum distance between the sensor and the object to be
detected.

Sensor position recommendations
6.5.1
For access detection function
Below are some recommendations for the sensor positioning for the access detection
function:
l
if the distance between the ground and the bottom portion of the field of view is
greater than 30 cm (11.8 in), take precautions area to make sure that even a person
entering the dangerous area by crawling on the floor is still detected.
l
if the height above the ground is less than 30 cm (11.8 in), install the sensor with an
inclination of minimum 10° upwards.
