General safety notes and protective measures
Pay attention to the safety notes!
Please observe the following procedures in order to ensure the correct and safe use of the
V200/V300 safety camera system.
•
The national/international rules and regulations apply to the installation, use and
periodic technical inspections of the safety camera system, in particular:
– Machinery Directive
– Work Equipment Directive
– the work safety regulations/safety rules
– other relevant safety regulations
Manufacturers and operators of the machine on which the safety camera system is used
are responsible for obtaining and observing all applicable safety regulations and rules.
•
The notices, in particular the test regulations (see section 7.1 “Test notes” on page 42)
of these operating instructions (e.g. on use, mounting, installation or integration into the
existing machine controller) must be observed.
•
The tests must be carried out by qualified safety personnel or specially qualified and
authorised personnel and must be recorded and documented to ensure that the tests
can be reconstructed and retraced at any time.
•
Changes to the configuration of the devices can degrade the protective function. After
every change to the configuration you must therefore check the effectiveness of the
protective device. The person who makes the change is also responsible for the correct
protective function of the device.
•
The light beams from the camera may be deflected by reflective surfaces. This can
result in failure to identify an object. For this reason reflective surfaces on the reflective
tape or in the protective field are not allowed.
•
The operating instructions must be made available to the operator of the machine where
the V200/V300 safety camera system is fitted. The machine operator is to be instructed
in the use of the device by qualified safety personnel and must be instructed to read the
operating instructions.
•
To meet the requirements of the relevant product standards (e.g. IEC 61
496-1), the
external voltage supply for the devices (SELV) must be able to bridge a brief mains
failure of 20 ms. Power supplies according to EN 60
204-1 satisfy this requirement.
Suitable power supplies are available as accessories from SICK (see section 12.2
“Accessories” on page 59).
