Safety information
2.1
Intended use
The TiM8xx DistanceGuard is a combination of a 2D LiDAR sensor (
TiM8xx
) and a Sen‐
sorApp (
DistanceGuard
) developed for a distance monitoring application.
The 2D LiDAR sensor scans its environment in a plane without making contact, merges
distance clusters into anonymous objects using the app and determines their distance
to one another.
If the distance between two people undercuts an adjustable threshold value, the device
sends a signal.
The number of identified objects can also be output, and a maximum number can be
set for this purpose as well. Distancing rules, for example when standing in line, are
therefore easy to follow. Adjustments can be made easily and on short notice if the
rules change.
