USE AS A PRESENCE SENSING SYSTEM WITHIN A GUARDED PERIMETER
Fig. 6
Use as a presence sensing system within a guarded perimeter.
The system provides presence sensing to prevent any possibility of the machine being started whilst
personnel are inside the enclosed area.
•
The safety distance calculations given in section 5.4.1 are not applicable when the system is
used in this way as a secondary protective system. The perimeter guarding method should
conform with all relevant requirements.
•
The entire floor area between the enclosed perimeter and the hazard must be covered by mat
sensors so that it is not possible for personnel to be in the enclosed area without actuating the
mat system.
