    SmartRunner Detector Introduction Symbols Used This document contains symbols for the identification of warning messages and of informative messages. Warning Messages You will find warning messages, whenever dangers may arise from your actions. It is mandatory that you observe these warning messages for your personal safety and in order to avoid prop- erty damage.
  • Page 7: Product Specifications

    Product Specifications Use and Application This manual applies to the SmartRunner Detector (hereafter referred to as sensor). The sensor monitors a defined area and detects objects smaller than 1 mm. The sensor is based on the SmartRunner technology and combines the light section method with a 2D Vision sensor including LED illumination.
  • Page 8: Examples Of Use

    SmartRunner Detector Product Specifications Examples of use The illustration shows the inner workings of a laser machine used to calibrate the switching dis- tance of sensors. Different clamping devices (4) are used for the different sensor variants. When the program is activated, the laser moves to the appropriate height and the calibration process begins.
  • Page 9 Because the SmartRunner Detector evaluates both the laser line on the object and on the background, the measurement results are always reliable. A broken background line or an object in the detec- tion area causes the target to be recognized.
  • Page 10: Hazards Of Laser Radiation

    SmartRunner Detector Product Specifications Hazards of Laser Radiation This section describes the contents and location of the warning label. The sensor used corresponds to the safety standard IEC 60825-1:2014 for a laser class 1 product. In addition, the US regulation 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 is fulfilled except for Laser Notice No.
