Requirements for Perimeter Guarding
When two or more F3S-TGR-CL systems with the same scan code are
mounted in close proximity and in alignment with each other, precautions
should be taken to avoid one system interfering with another. This can be cor-
rected by mounting the transmitters and receivers back-to-back or stacked.

The scan code feature of the F3S-TGR-CL system allows for placement of
systems in close proximity and in line with each other. The distinctive coding
of the beams provide for unique operation of a system while in view of another
system with a different scan code. Two unique codes are available on the
F3S-TGR-CL.
The system detection zone is delineated by the inside edge of the transmitter
and receiver endcaps and indicated by marks on the transmitter and receiver
unit. The area outside these marks is not protected. Position the system so
that it is only possible to access the danger point through the detection zone.
In perimeter guarding applications the F3S-TGR-CL system detection zone is
placed around the outside perimeter of a guarded machine. This placement
leaves space for personnel to stand between the detection zone and the haz-
ardous machine.
In this case, the guarded machine must only be restarted using a switch
located outside and with a full view of the area of hazardous motion. Opera-
tion of the F3S-TGR-CL system In the Start/Restart Interlock operating mode
is suitable for perimeter guarding.
