Safety information
2.1
Intended use
The TriSpector1000 is an industrial 3D sensor that uses laser triangulation on objects
to produce 3D images. Embedded 3D image analysis tools are applied to the 3D
images. The results are sent to a control system via external interfaces.
The TriSpector1000 series is primarily designed for use in industrial and logistics areas,
and it meets the requirements for industrial ruggedness, interfaces and data process‐
ing.
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.
•
The device does not constitute a safety-relevant device according to the EC
Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC).
•
The device must not be used in explosion-hazardous areas, in corrosive environ‐
ments or under extreme ambient conditions.
•
Any use of accessories not specifically approved by SICK AG is at your own risk.
2.3
Laser safety
The TriSpector1000 is equipped with a Class 2 laser according to EN/IEC
60825-1:2014 (Class 2M according to EN/IEC 60825-1:2007). It complies to 21 CFR
1040.10 except for deviations pursuant to Laser Notice No.50, dated June 24, 2007.
The legal regulations on laser safety for the laser class of TriSpector1000 must be
adhered to.
CAUTION
Optical radiation: Laser class 2
The human eye is not at risk when briefly exposed to the radiation for up to 0.25 sec‐
onds. Exposure to the laser beam for longer periods of time may cause damage to the
retina. The laser radiation is harmless to human skin.
■
Do not look into the laser beam intentionally.
■
Never point the laser beam at people's eyes.
■
If it is not possible to avoid looking directly into the laser beam, e.g., during com‐
missioning and maintenance work, suitable eye protection must be worn.
■
Avoid laser beam reflections caused by reflective surfaces. Be particularly careful
during mounting and alignment work.
■
Do not open the housing. Opening the housing will not switch off the laser. Open‐
ing the housing may increase the level of risk.
■
Current national regulations regarding laser protection must be observed.
NOTICE
If the TriSpector1000 is mounted in a system or a casing, so that the laser safety notice
signs are hidden, additional signs must be placed beside the exit aperture of the laser
beam on the system or casing. Additional signs are not included in the delivery.
