Original instructions
Figure 14: Safety distance calculator
To calculate the minimal safety distance, first answer the three application questions below:
A “Industrial Application; Yes or No”
Choose “Yes” if the application is industrial. Select “No” if the application is not industrial (this means that children also have access to the
application).
B “Stroke Application; Yes or No”
Choose “Yes” if the application starts automatically after a preset number of interruptions of the protective field occurs (e.g. presses). Select “No” if
the application is not a stroke application.
C “Two Hand Application; Yes or No”
Choose “Yes” if the application is started with two hand control buttons. Choose “No” if not.
Then enter the response time information requested. This data will provide a total response time in milliseconds. Next enter the light curtain parameter
data, and the safety category data.
Once all the data has been entered the window will display the minimal light curtain mounting distance and the minimal reflective surface distance data
shown in
Figure 15.
