If there is a highly reflective background within a distance of 2.5 m from the safety zone
perimeter (e.g. a shiny metallic surface), errors in the calculation of the exact distance to
the detected object may occur.

Avoid strong electromagnetic interference when operating the safety laser scanner.

When operating the safety laser scanner, avoid the development of smoke, mist, or dust
that would reduce the safety laser scanner's range.

Distance to intense light sources and to reflective surfaces
Minimum distance to especially intense or flashing light sources
Pilz recommends that the safety laser scanner is not installed near particularly intense or
flashing light sources.
When especially intense or flashing light sources are near the safety laser scanner (area of
+/- 5° to the scanning plane, see figure), an allowance has to be considered when calculat-
ing the safety distance.
