Field sets Configuring the protective field and warning field
With the aid of the SCD software you can configure the field set, which comprises a protective field and two warning
fields . During this process you configure the shape and size of the protective and warning fields. You can realize any
field shape required.
Fig. 9: Creating a field set in the SCD software
Note The area to be monitored is scanned radially by the SafeZone Mini. The SafeZone Mini cannot see through objects during
this process. The area behind objects that are in the area to be monitored (pillars, grilles, etc.) can thus not be monitored.
Protective fields and warning field can cover up an angle of up to 270° and have different radial scanning ranges
depending on the resolution configured (see Chapter 4, “Resolution” on page 16).
Check the protective fields configured!
Prior to commissioning the machine or vehicle, check the configuration of the protective fields using the instructions in
Chapter 9, “Commissioning” on page 47 and using the “Checklist” on page 70.
Note If the protective field  or the warning fields stretch as far as a wall or another object (pillar, neighboring machine,
shelf), there should be a distance of 100 mm (3.94 in.) between the protective field or warning field and the object to
prevent false triggering
.

field and warning field
Secure unprotected areas!
If it is possible to access a narrow strip between the protective field and a wall or another object, you must protect this
strip using additional measures (e.g. fence or floor protection).
