Chapter 2 On safety
General safety notes and
protective measures
Pay attention to the safety notes!
Please observe the following items in order to ensure the correct use of the SafeZone Mini safety laser scanner.
Repair only by authorized persons!
The improper repair of the protective device can result in the loss of the protective function. The protective device is only
allowed to be repaired by the manufacturer or persons authorized by the manufacturer.
• This device meets the norms: IEC 60825­1 as well as CDRH 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11; excluded are deviations due to
Laser Notice No. 50, dated 24.06.2007. In the standards CDRH 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 the following note is
required: “Caution — use of controls, adjustments or performance of procedures other than those herein specified
may result in hazardous radiation exposure!”
• During the mounting, installation and usage of the SafeZone Mini, observe the standards and directives applicable in
your country. You will find an overview of the most important regulations in Chapter 2, “Applicable directives and
standards” on page 8.
• The national/international rules and regulations apply to the installation, commissioning, use and periodic technical
inspections of the SafeZone Mini safety laser scanner, in particular …
– Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC
– Work Equipment Directive 2009/104/EC
– The work safety regulations/safety rules
– Other relevant health and safety regulations
• Manufacturers and operators of the machine on which the SafeZone Mini is used are responsible for obtaining and
observing all applicable safety regulations and rules.
• The notes, in particular the test notes (see Chapter 9, “Commissioning” on page 47) in these operating instructions
(e.g. on use, mounting, installation or integration into the machine control) must be observed.
• Changes to the configuration of the devices can degrade the protective function. After every change to the
configuration you must therefore check the effectiveness of the protective device. The person who makes the change
is also responsible for the correct protective function of the device. When making configuration changes, please
always use the password hierarchy provided by Rockwell Automation to ensure that only authorized persons make
changes to the configuration.
• The tests must be carried out by qualified safety personnel or specially qualified and authorized personnel and must
be recorded and documented to ensure that the tests can be reconstructed and retraced at any time.
• The operating instructions must be made available to the operator of the machine where the SafeZone Mini is used.
The machine operator is to be instructed in the use of the device by qualified safety personnel and must be instructed
to read the operating instructions.
• To meet the requirements of the relevant product standards (e.g. EN 61496­1), the external voltage supply for the
devices must be able to bridge a brief mains failure of 20 ms. Power supplies according to EN 60204­1 satisfy this
requirement. Suitable power supplies are available as accessories from Rockwell Automation.
 Enclosed with these operating instructions is a checklist for checking by the manufacturer and OEM (see Chapter 14,
“Checklist for the manufacturer” on page 70). Use this checklist when checking the system that is protected with the
SafeZone Mini.
Environmental protection The SafeZone Mini safety laser scanner is constructed in such a way that it adversely affects the environment as little as
possible and uses only a minimum of power and natural resources.
 At work, always act in an environmentally responsible manner.
ATTENTION
The SafeZone Mini safety laser scanner is of laser safety class 1. Additional
measures for screening the laser radiation are not necessary (eye safe).
