Incorrect use, improper modification of or tampering with the safety laser scanner will
invalidate any warranty from SICK; in addition, any responsibility and liability of SICK for
damage and secondary damage caused by this is excluded.
2.3
Inappropriate use
The safety laser scanner works as an indirect protective measure and cannot provide
protection from pieces thrown from the application nor from emitted radiation. Trans‐
parent objects are not detected.
The safety laser scanner is not suitable for the following applications, among others:
•
Outdoors
•
Underwater
•
In explosion-hazardous areas
2.4
Applications of the device
The safety laser scanner is used to protect people and systems. The device is intended
for monitoring hazardous areas in closed rooms.
The safety laser scanner is not permitted to be used outdoors.
The safety laser scanner does not offer protection from parts thrown out of a machine
or from emitted radiation.
The safety laser scanner satisfies the requirements of Class A (industrial environment)
of the generic EMC standard; the device is therefore only suitable for use in industrial
environments.
The device is a type 3 ESPE in accordance with IEC 61496-1 and IEC 61496-3 and can
therefore be used in controllers of category 3 PL d in accordance with ISO 13849-1 or
SIL2 in accordance with IEC 61508.
The safety laser scanner is suitable for:
•
Hazardous area protection
•
Hazardous point protection
•
Access protection
•
Vehicle protection (electrically powered industrial trucks)
NOTE
Depending on the application, further protective devices and measures may be
required in addition to the safety laser scanner.
2.5
Requirements for the qualification of personnel
The safety laser scanner must only be configured, mounted, connected, commissioned
and serviced by qualified safety personnel.
Project planning
For project planning, a person is considered competent when he/she has expertise and
experience in the selection and use of protective devices on machines and is familiar
with the relevant technical rules and national work safety regulations.
Mechanical mounting
For mechanical mounting, a person is considered competent when he/she has the
expertise and experience in the relevant field and is sufficiently familiar with the appli‐
cation of the protective device on the machine that he/she can assess its operational
safety status.
