On safety
This chapter deals with your own safety and the safety of the equipment operators.
Please read this chapter carefully before working with the SC300 or with the machine
protected by the SC300.
Qualified safety personnel The SC300 safety camera system must only be installed, commissioned and serviced by
qualified safety personnel. Qualified safety personnel are defined as persons who:
• Due to their specialist training and experience have adequate knowledge of the
power-driven equipment to be checked
and
• Have been instructed by the responsible machine owner in the operation of the
machine and the current valid safety guidelines
and
• Are sufficiently familiar with the applicable official health and work safety
regulations, directives and generally recognized engineering practice (e.g. DIN
standards, VDE stipulations, engineering regulations from other EC member states)
that they can assess the work safety aspects of the power-driven equipment
and
• Have access to these operating instructions and have read them.
As a rule these are qualified safety personnel from the ESPE manufacturer or also persons
who have been appropriately trained at the ESPE manufacturer, are primarily involved in
checking ESPE and are allocated the task by the organization operating the ESPE.
Applications of the device The SC300 safety camera system is an item of electro-sensitive protective equipment
(ESPE).
The SC300 safety camera system can be operated with three resolutions. Depending on
the resolution used, the maximum protective field dimensions change:
Table 1 - Maximum protective field dimensions as a function of the resolution
Resolution [mm]
Protective field dimensions [m]
Minimum Maximum Note
20 0.40 Ч 0.40 1.00 Ч 1.00
On sizing the protective field the ratio for the lengths of
the sides must be considered (see “Checking the
dimensions of the protective field” on page 15).
24 0.40 Ч 0.40 1.20 Ч 1.20
30 0.60 Ч 0.60 1.50 Ч 1.50
