Chapter 2 On safety
• Changes to the configuration of the devices can degrade the protective function.
After every change to the configuration you must therefore check the effectiveness of
the protective device. The person who makes the change is also responsible for the
correct protective function of the device.
• The light beams from the camera may be deflected by reflective surfaces. This can
result in failure to identify an object. For this reason reflective surfaces on the
reflective tape or in the protective field are not allowed.
• The operating instructions must be made available to the operator of the machine
where the SC300 safety camera system is fitted. The machine operator is to be
instructed in the use of the device by qualified safety personnel and must be
instructed to read the operating instructions.
• To meet the requirements of the relevant product standards (e.g. EN 61 496­1), the
external voltage supply for the devices (SELV) must be able to bridge a brief mains
failure of 20 ms. Power supplies according to EN 60 204­1 satisfy this requirement.
Suitable power supplies are available as accessories from Rockwell Automation(see
the “Accessories” section on page 53).
Environmental protection The SC300 safety camera system has been designed to minimize environmental impact.
It uses only a minimum of power and natural resources.
At work, always act in an environmentally responsible manner.
Disposal
Always dispose of unserviceable or irreparable devices in compliance with local/ national
rules and regulations with respect to waste disposal (e.g. European waste code 16 02 14).
Separation of materials
Before you send the devices for appropriate recycling, it is necessary to separate the
different materials in the SC300 safety camera.
Separate the housing from the rest of the parts (in particular the circuit board).
Send the separated parts for recycling as appropriate:
Components Disposal
Product
Housing
Circuit boards, cable, connector andelectrical
connecting pieces Metal recycling (aluminium)
Electronic recycling
Packaging
Cardboard, paper
Polyethylene packaging Paper/cardboard recycling
Plastic recycling
