Calculate Minimum Distance S
See EN ISO 13855. Calculate S with the following formula:
S = (K × (T
+ T
)) + Z

Response Time T
of the SafeZone Mini Device
S
The response time T
of the SafeZone Mini device depends on the following:
S
• The basic response time of the SafeZone Mini device.
• The multiple sampling set.

Supplement Z
for Measurement Errors Caused by Reflection
R
ATTENTION: Avoid mounting retroreflectors at a distance of less than one
meter from the boundary of the protective field.
With retroreflectors that are positioned at a distance of less than 1 m (3.28 ft)
from the boundary of the protective field a supplement Z
(7.87 in.) must be added to the protective field.
Supplement C for Protection Against Reaching Over
With a protective field installed horizontally, there is a risk that people may
reach over the protective field and in this way reach the hazardous area before
the SafeZone Mini device shuts down the dangerous state. For this reason, the
calculation of the minimum distance must take into account a supplement to
help prevent persons from finding themselves in a hazardous situation by
reaching over (see EN ISO 13857) before the SafeZone Mini device triggers.
The necessary supplement for the minimum distance is dependent on the
height of the scan plane for the protective field. In
the supplement is larger than at greater heights (2 and 3).
