Due to its active scanning principle, the SafeZone Mini device does not require
receivers or reflectors, which has the following advantages:
• Your installation effort is lower.
• You can easily adapt the monitored area to the hazardous area on a
machine.
• In comparison with contact sensors, electro-sensitive scanning is nearly
wear-free.

Field Set Comprising Protective and Warning Fields

Protective fields and warning fields form the field set. You can configure these
field sets with the aid of the SCD software. The fields can be configured as
circular, rectangular or of arbitrary shape. If the monitored area changes, then
you can reconfigure the SafeZone Mini device in software without additional
mounting effort.
You can configure field sets as one protective field and one or two warning
fields.
The SafeZone Mini device secures the hazardous area on a machine or vehicle.
As soon as the safety laser scanner detects an object in the protective field, it
switches the OSSDs to the OFF state. This action initiates the shutdown of the
machine or stop of the vehicle.
