Determining the minimum distance
The safety camera system must be mounted with an adequate minimum distance between
the protective field and the hazardous point. This minimum distance ensures that the
hazardous point can only be reached after the dangerous state of the machine has been
completely stopped.
No protective function without sufficient minimum distance!
The reliable protective effect of the safety camera system depends on the safety camera
system being mounted with the correct minimum distance from the hazardous point.
If mounted vertically, the protective field is from the centre of the camera lens to the edge
of the reflective tape that is closest to the hazardous point. (The reference point for the
minimum distance
S
is therefore
not
the middle of the reflective tape. Cf. Fig. 9.)
If the protective field is at an angle, pay special attention to the minimum distance!
Ensure the necessary minimum distance between the
access point and the hazardous point is met at all parts of
the protective field at an angle.
⋅
Note that different rules may apply to the calculation of
the minimum distance for protective fields at an angle.
