S Safety distance (mm)
Minimum required distance between the sensing area surface and the dangerous
parts of the machine
K : Intrusion velocity of operator’s body or object (mm/sec.)
Taken as 2,000 (mm/sec.) for calculation

: Response time of this device (sec.)
C : Additional distance calculated from the size of the minimum sensing object of the
device (mm)
However, the value of C cannot be under 0.
C = 8 × (d - 14)
d: Minimum sensing object diameter (mm)

● For calculating the safety distance S, there are the following five cases.
First calculate by substituting the value K = 2,000 (mm/sec.) in the equation above. Then, clas
-
sify the obtained value of S into three cases, 1) S < 100, 2) 100 ≤ S ≤ 500, and 3) S > 500. For
Case 3) S > 500, recalculate by substituting the value K = 1,600 (mm/sec.). After that, classify
the calculation result into two cases, 4) S ≤ 500 and 5) S > 500.
For details, refer to “Calculation Example 1 For use in Europe.”
● When this device is used in the “PSDI Mode,” an appropriate safety distance S must be calculated.
For details, be sure to refer to the standards or regulations applicable in each region or country.
