2. Determine the area to be safeguarded and the AG4’s installation location.
3. Determine whether to install the Scanner with or without the
AG4-MBK1
mounting system.
4. Determine the size and coverage of the Protective Field and Warning Field (if used) depending on:
physical location of the AG4 installation, and the minimum safety distance (Section 3.3.4-5) or the stopping
distance of the mobile vehicle (Section 3.4).
5. Determine the start/restart operating mode (manual or automatic reset). Section 1.12.1
6. If the start/restart interlock (manual reset) is used, determine the position for the reset switch. Section 3.3.7
7. Determine if Field Pair switchover is required and identify the conditions for use. Section 1.12.4.
8. Configure the Scanner with the configuration software (see the AG4soft Software Instruction Manual p/n
144923 for complete instructions). See Section 3.2.
Important: Many safety-relevant parameters are preset in the configuration and diagnostics software.
Use these preset values wherever possible.
