6 Applications

The following chapters essentially describe the safety sensor's usage possibilities.

• To safely mount the safety sensor for the respective application, see chapter 7 "Mounting".

• For the electrical connection of the safety sensor, see chapter 8 "Electrical connection".

• To safely configure the safety sensor for the respective application, see chapter 9 "Configuring the

safety sensor".

6.1 Stationary danger zone guarding

Stationary danger zone guarding enables a very spacious protection of people on machines that are to

remain as accessible as much as possible. The safety sensor is applied as a stop-activating and presence-

detecting protective device. The safety sensor's protective field is set up horizontally in front of the machine

or system's point of operation.

You can also use the stationary danger zone guarding if you do have to guard areas under the machine

or at the rear that are not visible.

If the danger zone changes during operation, the respective danger zone is guarded by means of a field

pair changeover while the working area is accessible.

6.2 Stationary point of operation guarding

Hand and arm protection are always required when people must work at the point of operation. The safety

sensor is applied as a stop-activating and presence-detecting protective device. The safety sensor's

protective field is set up vertically in front of the machine or system's point of operation. In accordance with

EN ISO 13855, resolutions from 14 to 40 mm make sense here. This yields the necessary safety distance

for finger protection, among others (see chapter 7.3 "Stationary point of operation guarding").
