Original instructions
3.5.2 Outputs
Using the outputs on the SafeZone safety laser scanner you shutdown the
dangerous state on a machine, equipment or a vehicle and evaluate the
operational status of the SafeZone safety laser scanner. The SafeZone
safety laser scanner has the following outputs:
• OSSDs
• Warning field
• Application diagnostic output (contamination of the front screen/
error)
• Reset required
The outputs are brought out at the system connection (see Section 5.1
“System connection” on page 31).
Section 4 — Installation and Mounting
This section describes the preparation and completion of the mounting of
the SafeZone safety laser scanner.
Mounting requires four steps:
• Definition of the application and the necessary mounting location for
the laser scanner
• Calculation of the protective safety field sizes
You can enter the calculated protective safety field sizes with the aid of
the SCD software. Or leave the SafeZone safety laser scanner to suggest
the protective safety fields. In the latter case it is necessary to check
whether the suggested sizes correspond to those calculated. Thus in any
circumstance you must calculate the protective safety field size.
• Definition of the switching point between monitoring cases
• Mounting the safety laser scanner with or without mounting kits
Warning field interrupted (object in warning field)
Front screen contaminated
OSSDs deactivated (e.g. if object in the protective safety
field, reset necessary, lock-out)
OSSDs activated (no object in protective safety field)
IMPORTANT All outputs are only allowed to be used
for the purpose specified. Note that the
signals at the application diagnostic
outputs for “warning field,”
“contamination of the front screen/
error” and “reset necessary” are not
safe. For this reason the warning field is
not allowed to be used for tasks related
to personnel protection.
ATTENTION No protective function without
sufficient safety distance.
The SafeZone safety laser scanner’s
safety function depends on the system
being mounted with the correct safety
distance from the hazardous area.
