2.4
Sources of danger
The 2D LiDAR sensors of the VMS4200-x/5200-x MID use a class 2 laser.
The human eye is not at risk when briefly exposed to the radiation for up to 0.25 seconds.
Exposure to the laser beam for longer periods of time may cause damage to the retina.
The laser radiation is harmless to human skin.
▸
Never look directly into the laser beam.
▸
Never point the laser beam at people’s eyes.
▸
During commissioning or maintenance work, suitable eye protection must be worn.
▸
Avoid laser beam reflection caused by reflective surfaces. In particular during mounting
and alignment work.
▸
Do not open the housing.
▸
Current national regulations regarding laser protection must be observed.
Touching live devices, which may still be energized, can lead to death, burns or electrical
shock.
▸
Electrical work may only be performed on the system by qualified specialist personnel.
▸
Before working on electrical components, observe the five safety rules:
▸
Disconnect.
▸
Secure against being switched back on.
▸
Ensure that there is no voltage.
▸
Ground and short-circuit.
▸
Cover or enclose live parts in the vicinity.
▸
Never enter the area under suspended loads.
▸
Pay close attention when lifting loads.
▸
Comply with lifting instructions to prevent injuries and accidents.
▸
Use suitable, undamaged lifting tools.
▸
Wear personal protective equipment (safety helmet, safety shoes).
2.5
Protective devices
