On safety
This chapter deals with your own safety and the safety of the system operators.
 Please read this chapter carefully before working with the SafeZone Mini or with the machine protected by the
SafeZone Mini.
Qualified safety personnel The SafeZone Mini safety laser scanner must be installed, connected, commissioned and serviced only 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,
• Have been instructed by the responsible machine owner in the operation of the machine and the current valid safety
guidelines,
• Are sufficiently familiar with the applicable official health and 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 those 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 SafeZone Mini safety laser scanner is used to protect persons and systems. It is intended to be used to monitor
hazardous areas indoors.
•
It is not allowed to use the SafeZone Mini outdoors.
• The SafeZone Mini cannot provide protection from parts thrown out of the machine or emitted radiation.
• The SafeZone Mini complies with the requirements in the standard on the radiated emissions as defined for class A
(industrial application); the SafeZone Mini is therefore only suitable for use in an industrial environment.
• The device is a type 3 ESPE as defined by EN 61496­1 and CLC/TS 61496­3 and is therefore allowed for use with
category 3 PL d controls as per EN ISO 13849­1 or SIL2 as per IEC 61508.
• The SafeZone Mini is suitable for:
– Hazardous area protection
– Hazardous point protection
– Access protection
– Vehicle protection (electrically powered industrial trucks)
Note Depending on the application, other protective devices and measures may be required in addition to the safety laser
scanner.
Correct use The SafeZone Mini safety laser scanner must be used only as defined in Chapter 2, “Applications of the device” on page 6. It
must be used only by qualified personnel and only on the machine where it has been installed and initialized by qualified
safety personnel in accordance with these operating instructions. It is only permitted to be used on machines on which the
dangerous state can be stopped immediately by the SafeZone Mini and/or it is possible to prevent the machine being
placed in operation.
Note If the device is used for any other purposes or modified in any way — also during mounting and installation — any
warranty claim against Rockwell Automation shall become void.
