Mounting
This chapter describes the preparation and completion of the mounting of the SafeZone Mini safety laser scanner.
Mounting requires four steps:
•
Definition of the application and the necessary mounting location for the safety laser scanner
• Calculation of the protective field sizes and minimum distances (see EN ISO 13855)
• Mounting the safety laser scanner with or without mounting kits
No protective function without sufficient minimum distance!
Only if you configure the protective field such that there is an adequate minimum distance to the hazardous area, is
protection by the SafeZone Mini ensured.
Notes  Mount the SafeZone Mini in a dry place and protect the device from dirt and damage.
 Avoid the installation of the SafeZone Mini in the vicinity of strong electric fields. These can, e.g., be produced by
welding cables, induction cables in the immediate vicinity and also by mobile telephones operated nearby.
 Ensure that there are no obstacles in the area to be monitored in the field of view of the SafeZone Mini that could cause
interference or shadowing. Such shadowed areas cannot be monitored by the SafeZone Mini. If there are unavoidable
shadowed areas, check whether there is a risk. Take additional safety precautions as necessary.
 Keep the area to be monitored free of smoke, fog, steam or other forms of air impurities. There must not be any
condensation on the optics cover. Otherwise the function of the SafeZone Mini may be impaired and incorrect
switching may occur.
 Avoid placing highly reflective objects in the scan plane of the SafeZone Mini. Examples: Retroreflectors can affect the
measurement results of the SafeZone Mini. Highly reflective objects within the protective field can blank a part of the
area to be monitored in certain circumstances.
 Mount the SafeZone Mini such that it is not saturated by incident sunlight. Do not position stroboscopic and
fluorescent lights or other strong light sources directly in the scan plane as these may affect the SafeZone Mini in
specific circumstances.
 Mark the protective field on the floor, if this is reasonable for the application (see EN 61496­1 in Chapter 7).
The following steps are necessary after mounting:
•
Completing the electrical connections (Chapter 6, “Electrical installation”)
• Configuration of the protective field (Chapter 8, “Configuration”)
• Commissioning and checking of the installation (Chapter 9, “Commissioning”)
• Checking the function and safe shutdown (Chapter 9, “Test notes”)
Stationary application in
horizontal operation This type of protective device is suitable for machines and systems on which, e.g. a hazardous area is not completely
enclosed by a guard.
