4.1
Manufacturer of the machine
DANGER
Hazard due to lack of effectiveness of the protective device
Persons and parts of the body to be protected may not be recognized in case of non-
observance.
b
Use of the safety laser scanner requires a risk assessment. Check whether addi‐
tional protective measures are required.
b
Comply with the applicable national regulations derived from the application (e.g.,
work safety regulations, safety rules, or other relevant safety guidelines).
b
Apart from the procedures described in this document, the components of the
safety laser scanner must not be opened.
b
The safety laser scanner must not be tampered with or changed.
b
Improper repair of the protective device can lead to a loss of the protective func‐
tion. The protective device must only be repaired by the manufacturer or by some‐
one authorized by the manufacturer.
4.2
Operator of the machine
DANGER
Hazard due to lack of effectiveness of the protective device
Persons and parts of the body to be protected may not be recognized in case of non-
observance.
b
Changes to the electrical integration of the safety laser scanner in the machine
control and changes to the mechanical mounting of the safety laser scanner
necessitate a new risk assessment. The results of this risk assessment may
require the operator of the machine to meet a manufacturer’s obligations.
b
Changes to the device’s configuration may impair the protective function. The
effectiveness of the protective device must be checked after any change to the
configuration. The person carrying out the change is also responsible for maintain‐
ing the protective function of the device.
b
Apart from the procedures described in this document, the components of the
safety laser scanner must not be opened.
b
The safety laser scanner must not be tampered with or changed.
b
Improper repair of the protective device can lead to a loss of the protective func‐
tion. The protective device must only be repaired by the manufacturer or by some‐
one authorized by the manufacturer.
4.3
Design
Important information
WARNING
Ineffectiveness of the protective device
If the distance between the protective device and the hazardous point is too small, a
person may reach the hazardous point before the dangerous state of the machine has
been completely stopped.
b
Design the protective field so that an adequate minimum distance to the haz‐
ardous area is created.
