Notes on Safety

General Hazards for Non-observance of Notes on Safety

Care is exercised in accordance with recognised codes of engineering practice in the development
and production of Leuze lumiflex products. The protection function of the equipment can however
be impaired if the units are not used in accordance with their intended application or are not used
properly. Such instances can cause hazards for the health and life of the personnel operating the
machinery. Safety light curtains and light grids do not provide protection against injuries resulting
from flying objects.

Operating Conditions

Applicable regulations (e. g. machinery-specific C-Standards in the EU or the OSHA and ANSI
standards in the USA) apply for the use and installation of COMPACT safety light curtains and light
grids. The appropriate authorities for the country in question are available for answering questions
regarding safety engineering. In general, compliance with the following operating is required:
• The COMPACT units shall be installed such that access from above, beneath or behind the pro-
tected field is ruled out. If this is not assured, then additional protection measures must be
