4.1
Manufacturer of the machine
The manufacturer of the machinery must carry out a risk assessment and apply appro‐
priate protective measures. Further protective measures may be required in addition to
the product.
The product must not be tampered with or changed, except for the procedures descri‐
bed in this document.
The product must only be repaired by the manufacturer of the product or by someone
authorized by the manufacturer. Improper repair can result in the product not providing
the expected protection.
4.2
Operating entity of the machine
Changes to the electrical integration of the product in the machine controller and
changes to the mechanical mounting of the product necessitate a new risk assess‐
ment. The results of this risk assessment may require the entity operating the machine
to meet the obligations of a manufacturer.
The product must not be tampered with or changed, except for the procedures descri‐
bed in this document.
The product must only be repaired by the manufacturer of the product or by someone
authorized by the manufacturer. Improper repair can result in the product not providing
the expected protection.

Persons and parts of the body to be protected may not be recognized in case of
non-observance.
b
Make sure that the following construction requirements are met so that the safety
light curtain can fulfill its protective function.
°
Sender and receiver must be arranged such that persons or parts of the body
are reliably detected when they enter the hazardous area.
°
Reaching under, over, and around as well as moving the safety light curtain
must be prevented.
°
Check whether additional safety measures (e.g. restart interlocking) are nec‐
essary when it is possible for people to be located between the protection
system and the danger point without being detected.
