  • Page 29: Mechanical Installation Considerations

    Banner AG4 Series Safety Laser Scanner 3.3 Mechanical Installation Considerations Many factors influence the layout of the Scanner’s mechanical installation. For stationary applications, these include separation (safety) distance, supplemental safeguarding (hard guarding), unmonitored areas (shadows or areas behind the Scanner), adjacent Scanners, and the height of the Protective Field (in horizontal applications). In addition, mobile applications must take into account the stopping performance and distance of the mobile vehicle which the Scanner is controlling.

    Banner AG4 Series Safety Laser Scanner 3.3.2 Needle- and Cone-Shaped Protective Field Contours CAUTION . . . NEEDLE- AND CONE-SHAPED PROTECTIVE FIELD CONTOURS Any safety distance calculations must consider and resolve the effects of needle- or cone-shaped Protective Fields. Boundaries or contours that rely on too few measurement points (e.g., one or two) may not reliably turn OFF the OSSDs when an object is present.

  • Page 32: Adjacent Scanners

    Banner AG4 Series Safety Laser Scanner 3.3.3 Adjacent Scanners WARNING . . . ADJACENT SCANNERS Scanners that have a clear line of sight to another Scanner and that share the same detection plane with it, must be adjusted or shielded so that their light pulses are not detected by the adjacent Scanners, or 40 ms must be added to the response time of all adjacent Scanners.

    Banner AG4 Series Safety Laser Scanner WARNING . . . PROTECTIVE FIELD HEIGHT (STATIONARY HORIZONTAL FIELDS) Where the height of a horizontal Protective Field is H > 300 mm, there is a risk that a person can go undetected beneath the field. If it is possible for an individual to crawl undetected under the Protective Field and access the hazard, install supplemental guarding to prevent this access.
