When calculating the safety distances, be sure to consider all delay times, such as
the response time of the scanner, response time of the control elements, and
braking times and/or stopping times of the machine/system or AGV! Variations in
delay time caused by factors such as reduced braking power must also be taken
into consideration.
•
The effectiveness of the switch-off function must be tested along the defined
contour of the detection zone during the initial startup and subsequent to any
changes made to a machine or system.
•
The effectiveness of the switch-off function must be tested for the detection zone
contours along the entire driving route during the initial startup and following any
changes made to an AGV.
•
In the event that there is insufficient room available to allow the full dimensions of
a detection zone, for example because of the position of the scanner, additional
safety measures (e.g. safety grids) must be installed.
•
Following each definition of and change to the detection zones, the configuration
must be checked to see whether the possibility of people standing in the danger
zone as well as any barriers provided have been considered by an appropriate
layout of the detection zone(s).

Additional Safety Notes for Stationary Use
•
If the danger zone can be accessed from the side, and if the detection zone cannot
be extended sufficiently in this direction, additional safety measures (e.g. safety
fences) must be installed.
•
We recommended marking the contour of the detection zone on the floor by
painting a colored line or applying colored adhesive tape.
•
Check the mounting regularly (in particular, the angle of inclination) in order to
guarantee the reliability of detection.
