Safety information
2.1
Intended use
The TiM361S is a safety-related sensor suitable for the following applications:
Hazardous area protection
Hazardous point protection
Access protection
Mobile hazardous area protection (protection of mobile platforms)
The safety-related 2D LiDAR sensor must only be used within the limits of the
prescribed and specified technical data (see 10.2 Safety-related technical data,
page 41) and operating conditions at all times.
Use inconsistent with the intended use, operation beyond the technical limits, improper
modification of, or manipulation of the TiM361S, will invalidate any warranty from SICK;
in addition, any responsibility and liability of SICK AG for damage and consequential
damage caused by this is excluded.
Reasonably foreseeable misuse
DANGER
Risk of ineffectiveness of the protective device
Persons and parts of the body to be protected may not recognized in case of non-
observance. The TiM361S works as an indirect protective measure and cannot provide
protection from pieces thrown from the application nor from emitted radiation. Objects
within the blind zone and outside of the safety-related detection zone as well as
transparent objects will not be detected.
You must only use the sensor as an indirect protective measure.
The TiM361S is
not
suitable for the following applications, among others:
Outdoors
Underwater
In explosion-hazardous areas
Use beyond the technical specifications
As a safety-related sensor, the TiM361S safety-related 2D LiDAR sensor with
performance level b (PL b), Category B, according to EN ISO 13849 is only intended to
perform part of the safety function (partial safety function). In its safety function, it
provides sensor information to a downstream logic unit for further processing.
The safety function arises only in context with the target application, e.g., machine
tools, a mobile platform or service robot.
Requirements and features of the application may differ from the features and
characteristic values of the product and must be evaluated within the scope of project
planning.
2.2
Application area
The TiM361S safety-related laser scanner is intended for use as a sensor in personal
protection equipment, in mobile applications on electrically operated autonomous
platforms in industrial environments, as well as in stationary applications for access
protection and presence monitoring in industrial environments.
