2.1

Intended use and foreseeable misuse

WARNING

A running machine may result in serious injury!

Make certain that the safety sensor is correctly connected and that the protective function of
the protective device is ensured.

Make certain that, during all conversions, maintenance work and inspections, the system is
securely shut down and protected against being restarted.

2.1.1

Intended use

• The safety sensor may only be used after it has been selected in accordance with the respectively ap-

plicable instructions and relevant standards, rules and regulations regarding labor protection and safety
at work, and after it has been installed on the machine, connected, commissioned, and checked by a
competent person (see chapter 2.2 "Necessary competencies"). The devices are designed for indoor
use only.

• When selecting the safety sensor it must be ensured that its safety-related capability meets or exceeds

the required performance level PL

ascertained in the risk assessment (see chapter 15.1 "General

specifications").

• The safety sensor protects persons or body parts at points of operation, danger zones or access points

of machines and systems.

• With the

access guarding

function, the safety sensor detects persons only when they enter the danger

zone but cannot tell whether there are any persons inside the danger zone. For this reason, a start/
restart interlock or a suitable stepping behind protection in the safety chain is essential in this case.

• Maximum permissible approach speeds (see ISO 13855):

• 1.6 m/s for access guarding

• 2.0 m/s for guards of points of operation

• The construction of the safety sensor must not be altered. When manipulating the safety sensor, the

protective function is no longer guaranteed. Manipulating the safety sensor also voids all warranty
claims against the manufacturer of the safety sensor.
