4.3.2
Preventing unprotected areas
DANGER
Hazard due to lack of effectiveness of the protective device
Persons and parts of the body to be protected may not be recognized in case of
non-observance.
Mount the safety laser scanner so that people cannot enter unsecured areas. Take one
or more of the measures described below as required:
b
Attach deflector plates to prevent anyone standing behind.
b
Mount the safety laser scanner in an undercut.
b
Mount the safety laser scanner in the paneling of the machine or vehicle.
b
Mount a frame to prevent access to the area.
Unsecured areas behind the safety laser scanner
Depending on the mounting situation, areas may result, which cannot be detected by
the safety laser scanner.
The undetected areas become larger if the safety laser scanner is mounted using a
mounting kit.

Area where detection capability is restricted
In close proximity (50 mm wide area in front of the optics cover), the detection capabil‐
ity of the safety laser scanner may be restricted. If required, this area must be secured
using an undercut or frame, for example.
