Important information
WARNING
Ineffectiveness of the protective device
Persons and parts of the body to be protected may not be recognized in case of non-
observance.
b
Do not do repair work on device components.
b
Do not make changes to or manipulate device components.
b
Apart from the procedures described in this document, the device components
must not be opened.
WARNING
Dangerous state of the machine
Persons or parts of the body to be protected may not be recognized or not recognized in
time in case of non-observance.
b
Make sure that there are no obstacles in the area to monitored which impair the
field of view of the device or could cause movement shadows. The device cannot
monitor such shadowed areas. If unavoidable shadowed areas exist, check
whether they pose a risk. Implement additional protective measures if necessary.
b
Keep the area to be monitored free of smoke, fog, vapor and other air impurities.
No condensation must be allowed to form at the light emission window. The func‐
tion of the device may otherwise be impaired, which can lead to unintended shut‐
downs.
b
Avoid strongly reflective objects in the scan plane of the device. Example: Retro-
reflectors can influence the measurement result of the device. Highly specular
objects inside the protective field can blank part of the surface to be monitored in
some cases.
b
Mount the device in such a way that incident sunlight cannot dazzle it. Do not
arrange stroboscope and fluorescent lights or other strong light sources directly on
the scan plane since they can influence the device under certain circumstances.
NOTICE
b
Mount the device in a dry location. Protect it from contamination and damage.
b
Avoid installing the device near strong electrical fields. These fields can be caused,
for example, by nearby welding cables, induction cables, or cell phones.
NOTE
b
Mark the protective field on the floor if appropriate for the application.
