Page 13: Wecat And Extended Source
3.6.3 weCat and Extended Source Sensors included in the weCat3D series use line lasers. A line laser is an extended source. As a result, the C factor (see IEC EN 60825-1:2014) must be taken into account when evaluating the laser class. Due to the fact that C is greater than or equal to 1, the maximum permissible exposure value (MPE) for thermic retinal haz- ard is increased by a factor of C... -

(1/0) User LED Indicates the color in which the user LED currently lights up (off, green, red, orange). - Page 43 Network load Indicates the network’s current transmission load (at the sensor side). Continuous utilization of close to 100 % should be avoided because overrun might otherwise occur at the sensor’s network buffer. Utilization can be influenced by reducing the measuring rate or by changing the content of the transmission protocol.

- Page 46 General settings Operating mode • Profile Sensor: The sensor functions as a 2D Profile Sensor and sends the measured profile to the PC or the control unit. • Smart WeCat3d: The sensor works in conjunction with the uniVision software (s. Operating Instructions DNNF012/DNNF020) and enables thus an user-specific evalua- tion in the sensor.

7.2.3 2D/3D Profile Settings Profile view Signal 1/2 The profiles can be displayed or hidden by selecting or unselecting the checkboxes (this affects the display only and doesn’t influence the parameter settings). The individual colors have the following meanings: White: profile 1 Red: profile 2 (only visible with corresponding software setting) Yellow: Signal strength, profile 1 Orange: Signal strength, profile 2 (only visible with corresponding software setting) - Page 48 Differentiation must be made in this respect between the weCat3D MLSL, for which a reduction in X and Z influences the measuring rate, and the weCat3D MLWL, for which only a reduction in Z affects the measuring rate.
