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 (HMI) 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 con‐
trollers), or applications. However, configuration, programming, and control requires var‐
ious 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 corro‐
sive environments, or in extreme ambient conditions.
2.1.1
Operating restrictions
NOTICE
Radio interference may occur when the device is used in residential areas!
■
Only use the device in industrial environments (EN 61000-6-4).
2.1.2
Conditions for specified enclosure rating
To ensure compliance with the specified IP65 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 cables plugged into the two electrical M12 connections are screwed tight.
•
Any electrical M12 connections that are not being used (Ethernet connection)
must be sealed with protective plugs that are screwed tight (as in the delivery con‐
dition).
•
The black cover (flap) on the rear of the device must be flush with the device and
screwed tight.
NOTICE
Operate the device with open black cover only for a short time for the following tasks
as required:
•
Inserting or removing the optional memory card
During this time, protect the device against moisture and dust.
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.
