Safe Mounting Distance - Omron F3S-TGR-CL-K2C Installation And Operation Manual

!WARNING
Never install an F3S-TGR-CL system without
regard to the safety distance. If the F3S-TGR-
CL system is mounted too close to the point of
operation hazard, the machine may not stop in
time to prevent an operator injury.
An F3S-TGR-CL system must be mounted far enough from the machine dan-
ger zone so the machine will stop before a hand or other body part reaches
the hazardous area. This distance is called the safety distance. It is a calcu-
lated number based on a formula.
The safety distance "S" is the minimum safe distance between the safety light
curtain and the point of operation (pinch point).
Calculation of the safety distance "S" is based on the European standard
EN999 and applies to safety light curtains that are used in industrial environ-
ments.
!WARNING
F3S-TGR-CL body protection systems are not suitable for protection of dan-
ger areas (horizontal installation).
