Mounting Notes
Mounting
This chapter describes the preparation and completion of the mounting of the
SafeZone™ Mini safety laser scanner.
Mounting requires four steps:
• Definition of the application and the necessary mounting location for
the safety laser scanner.
• Calculation of the protective field sizes and minimum distances (see
EN ISO 13855)
• Mounting the safety laser scanner with or without mounting kits
ATTENTION: No protective function without sufficient minimum distance.
Only if you configure the protective field such that there is an adequate
minimum distance to the hazardous area, is protection by the SafeZone Mini
device achieved.
• Mount the SafeZone Mini device in a dry place and protect the device
from dirt and damage.
• Avoid the installation of the SafeZone Mini device in the vicinity of
strong electric fields. Welding cables, induction cables in the immediate
vicinity, and mobile telephones operated nearby can produce these
electrical fields.
• Verify that there are no obstacles in the area to be monitored in the field
of view of the SafeZone Mini device that could cause interference or
shadowing. The SafeZone Mini device cannot monitor shadowed areas.
If there are unavoidable shadowed areas, check whether there is a risk.
Take additional safety precautions as necessary.
• Keep the area to be monitored free of smoke, fog, steam, or other forms
of air impurities. There must not be any condensation on the optics
cover. Otherwise, the function of the SafeZone Mini device can be
impaired and incorrect switching can occur.
• Avoid placing highly reflective objects in the scan plane of the SafeZone
Mini device. Examples: Retroreflectors can affect the measurement
results of the SafeZone Mini device. Highly reflective objects within the
protective field can blank a part of the area to be monitored in certain
circumstances.
