Targets; Outputs; Others - Honeywell SYA14 Series Manual

•
The viewing zone describes a 300° arc around the sensor, with a maximum radius of 10 m (32.8 ft).
•
The detection zone is the zone within which the FF-SE guarantees the detection of any object, even a dark
one (with a poor reflectivity). This zone has a radius of 6 m (19.68 ft).
Inside these circular zones, the user defines the protection zones which can have an irregular shape, adapted
to the environment. These zones are:
- the alarm zone (within the viewing zone).
- the safety zone (within the detection zone).

2.3.2 Targets :

•
The fixed test target is the part of the sensor, the beam is hitting on every turn to check the correct
operation of the beam.
•
The FF-SE can use one or more user defined test targets to ensure its correct positioning. A user defined
test target is a part of the environment and acts as a reference for the positioning of the FF-SE towards the
zones to be protected.
•
If there is a change in distance or angle on the external test target, this will trigger an error and the outputs
will open. There is a timing filter of 4 seconds before the laser scanner goes to error, which means that if an
object crosses the test target beam for less than 4 seconds, no error will be triggered.

2.3.3 Outputs :

•
As soon as an object enters the alarm zone, the FF-SE opens the alarm output : this can be used to turn a
light or a buzzer on.
•
As soon as an object enters the safety zone, the FF-SE opens the safety relays outputs which results in
switching off the machine.
•
If an error occurs in the FF-SE, the safety and alarm relays contacts will immediately open.

2.3.4 Others :

•
ESPE is the abbreviation for "Electrosensitive Protective Equipment".
•
BIA is the abbreviation for "Berufsgenossenschaftliches Institut für Arbeitssicherheit," or "Trade Association
Institute for Workplace Safety."
•
The sensor stands for the FF-SE and is generally drawn in the centre of all drawings.
•
Machine is the term used for the system to be monitored. When it is operating, the machine creates a
dangerous situation, which forbids the presence of persons or objects in the protection zones.
•
Use the installation program, to define the protection areas and to check the conformity of the installation
(see software installation manual ref. PK107029-EN).
