Mounting Height
According to DIN EN 999, the lowest admissible height of the scanning plane for people,
as measured from the base level, is calculated according to the following formula:
H
= 15 * (d - 50 mm)
MIN
H
= Lowest admissible scanning plane from the base level
MIN

= Resolution of the scanner in mm (object size = 70 mm throughout the
The admissible height range of the SIMATIC FS600 Laser Scanner scanning plane lies
between 0 mm (Presettings leg detection) and 1000 mm above the base level. If the
application requires a scanning plane higher than 300 mm, or if children have access to
the area, the analysis of the danger zone must consider the hazard caused by persons
crawling below the scanning plane.

Recommendations for Mounting to Prevent Unmonitored Zones
Unmonitored zones can result if the scanner is mounted onto a protruding attachment
or if the contour of the machine/system is varied in depth.
