Remedial measures:
b
Use suitable damping measures, e.g, for vehicles:
°
damping elements in the chassis
°
damping elements between the chassis and the safety laser scanner bracket
°
soft tires (e.g., pneumatic tires)
Environment with few objects
If the safety laser scanner does not detect any objects within the measuring range for
an extended period of time, the integrated tamper protection switches the safety out‐
puts to the OFF state.
DANGER
Hazard due to lack of effectiveness of the protective device
Persons or parts of the body to be protected may not be recognized or not recognized in
time in case of non-observance.
The tampering protection is switched off for the application type
Large areas
. Tampering
by positioning objects at close range (< 50 mm in front of the optics cover) may not be
detected.
b
Take the risk of tampering into account in the risk assessment.
b
When using the
Large areas
application type, perform regular checks to ensure that
there are no objects at close range (< 50 mm from the optics cover) impairing the
line of sight of the device.
If the device is used in an environment with few objects, the tamper protection can be
deactivated by using the
Large areas
application type,
When using this application type, the risk of tampering must be taken into account in
the risk assessment, and regular checks must be performed to ensure that there are
no objects at close range (< 50 mm from the optics cover) impairing the line of sight of
the device.

Assembly
This chapter contains important information about the design.
Information about the individual steps for mounting the device:
.
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
Make sure that the following design requirements are met so that the safety laser
scanner can fulfill its protective function.
•
The safety laser scanner must be affixed so that people or parts of the body are
reliably detected upon entry into the hazardous area.
•
The safety laser scanner must be affixed so that no mirrors or other exceedingly
reflective objects are in the protective field.
•
The safety laser scanner must be affixed so that no small objects (e.g. cables) are
in the protective field, even if the safety outputs do not switch to the OFF state as
a result.
•
The safety laser scanner must be affixed so that no obstacles disrupt the safety
laser scanner’s field of view. Take additional protective measures if a risk arises
due to unavoidable obstacles.
