Original instructions

• Suitable power supplies are available from Rockwell Automation. The

external voltage supply of this device must be capable of buffering brief
mains voltage failures of 20 ms as specified in EN 60204.

• Included in this document is a checklist for checking by the

manufacturer and OEM (see Section 13.1 “Manufacturer’s checklist” on
page 54). This checklist should be used when checking the equipment
that is protected with the SafeZone multizone safety laser scanner.

2.5 Environmental protection

The SafeZone safety laser scanner is constructed in such a way as to
minimize adverse affects to the environment. It uses only a minimum of
power and natural resources.

Disposal

² Always dispose of unserviceable or irreparable devices in compliance

with local/national rules and regulations on waste disposal.

2.6 Applicable directives and standards

Important directives and standards, valid for the use of opto-electronic
safety systems in Europe, are listed below. Further regulations may be of
importance to you, depending on the type of use. Users can obtain
further information of machine-specific standards from national
institutions (e.g. DIN, BSI, ANSI, OSHA, etc.), the authorities or
applicable trade association.

Section 3 — Product Description

This section provides information on the special features and properties
of the SafeZone multizone safety laser scanner. It describes the structure
and the operating principle of the device, in particular the different
operating modes.

3.1 Special features

• Scanning ranges of four and five meters

• 190° scanning angle

• Singlezone has a single field set and multizone has up to four field sets

• The contour of the protective safety field can be monitored (contour

change can e.g. be the opening of a door to the outside)

• Integrated external device monitoring (EDM)

• Integrated restart interlock/restart interlock delay for which

parameters can be set

• Status display with LEDs and seven-segment display

• Simple replacement of the I/O module (in this way the functionality

can be easily enhanced)

• Selection of either 60 ms minimum or 120 ms maximum response

time

• Configuration using PC or notebook with SCD software

• Configuration memory in the system plug. Down times are shortened

by the easy replacement of the SafeZone safety laser scanner

• Increased immunity to external light and dust

3.2 Function

The SafeZone safety laser scanner only operates correctly as a protective
device if the following conditions are met:

• The control of the machine, system or vehicle must be electrical.

IMPORTANT

The SafeZone safety laser scanner
meets the requirement of “Control
Reliability.”

ATTENTION

Please read this section before
mounting, installing and
commissioning the device.

Because this device is used to monitor
a hazardous area, it is important to
read this entire section before
mounting and installing the device.
