Safety information
2.1
Intended use
The InspectorP6xx is a programmable vision sensor for industrial use for tasks which
require high-resolution images at long distances.
The device is programmed on a PC by using the development environment software
SICK AppSpace. Depending on the application, a browser-based, graphical user inter‐
face (GUI) can be created, which provides opportunities defined by the application
developer to influence an application at operator level. The device offers various inter‐
faces for controlling, programming, and operating purposes, which can be activated
as necessary via development environments, control systems (programmable logic
controllers), or applications. However, configuration, programming, and control requires
various technical skills, depending on how the device is connected and used.
The devices are primarily designed for use in industrial and logistics areas, and they
meet the requirements for industrial ruggedness, interfaces and data processing. They
are not safety components as per the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. They are
not intended and not permitted to be used in areas with explosive atmospheres, in
corrosive environments, or in extreme ambient conditions.
2.1.1
Conditions for specified enclosure rating
To ensure compliance with the specified IP54 enclosure rating of the device during
operation, the following requirements must be met: If these requirements are not met,
the device does not fulfill any specified enclosure rating.
•
The two electrical M12 connections must be tightly screwed to the contacted
female connector or male connector.
•
The Ethernet connection, if not used, must be sealed with a tightly-fastened pro‐
tective cap (as in the delivery condition).
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 component in accordance with the respec‐
tive applicable safety standards for machines.
•
The device must not be used in explosion-hazardous areas, in corrosive environ‐
ments or under extreme environmental conditions.
•
The device must not be operated in the temperature range below 0 °C.
•
Any use of accessories not specifically approved by SICK AG is at your own risk.
WARNING
Danger due to improper use!
Any improper use can result in dangerous situations.
Therefore, observe the following information:
■
Product should be used only in accordance with its intended use.
■
All information in these operating instructions must be strictly observed.
■
