WARNING
Loss of MID conformity after replacing a component
The LiDAR sensors are part of the legal for trade system.
Due to the replacement of a component, the VMS5200-x MID will no longer be verified
as legal for trade.
▸
After replacing a component, contact the manufacturer.
▸
The manufacturer will arrange for the system to be reverified after the replacement
of a component.
WARNING!
HAZARDOUS LASER RADIATION
The 2D LiDAR sensors of the VMS4200/5200 use a class 2 laser.
The human eye is not at risk when briefly exposed to the radiation for up to
0.25 seconds. Exposure to the laser beam for longer periods of time may cause
damage to the retina. The laser radiation is harmless to human skin.
▸
Never look directly into the laser beam.
▸
Never point the laser beam at people’s eyes.
▸
During commissioning or maintenance work, suitable eye protection must be worn.
▸
Avoid laser beam reflection caused by reflective surfaces. In particular during
mounting and alignment work.
▸
Do not open the housing.
▸
Current national regulations regarding laser protection must be observed.
Fig. 94: Removing the LiDAR sensors from the mounting plates
▸
Undo and remove the three M6 fixing screws at the rear of the mounting plate.
NOTE!
When loosening the last screw, press the LiDAR sensor against the bracket with
one hand to hold the device in place.
