3.2 Function
The SafeZone safety laser scanner only operates correctly as a protective
device if the following conditions are met:
The control of the machine, system or vehicle must be electrical.
R
It must be possible to transfer the dangerous state of the machine, the

equipment or the vehicle to a safe state at any time using the OSSDs
on the SafeZone safety laser scanner after integration in the
controller.
The SafeZone safety laser scanner uses light pulses precisely radiated in
specific directions. Thus the laser scanner does not continuously cover
the area to be monitored. In this way resolutions of between 30 mm and
150 mm are achieved.
The SafeZone safety laser scanner must be mounted and configured

such that it detects objects as they enter the hazardous area (see
Section 4 Installation and mounting on page 18).
Due to its active scanning principle, the SafeZone safety laser scanner
does not require receivers or reflectors. This has the following
advantages:
3.2.1 Principles of operation
Ease of installation.
You can easily adapt the monitored area to the hazardous area on a
machine.
The SafeZone safety laser scanner is an optical sensor that scans its
surroundings in two dimensions using infrared laser beams. It is used to
monitor a hazardous area on a machine or a vehicle.
In comparison with contact sensors, there is less wear when electrosensitive scanning is used.
3.2.2 Field set comprised of protective safety field and

warning field
t
S
S t
Figure 1: Principle of operation, time of flight measurement by the

SafeZone safety laser scanner
The SafeZone safety laser scanner works on the principle of time of flight
measurement . It sends out very short pulses of infrared light (S). At
the same time an electronic stopwatch is started. When the light is
reflected off of an object, it is received by the safety laser scanner (E).
From the time between sending and receiving (t) the SafeZone
multizone safety laser scanner calculates the distance to the object.
In the SafeZone safety laser scanner there is also a mirror rotating at
constant speed that deflects the light pulses such that they cover an arc
of 190. By determining the angle of rotation of the mirror, the SafeZone
safety laser scanner determines the direction of the object.
From the measured distance and the direction of the object, the safety
laser scanner determines the exact position of the object.
Figure 3: Protective safety field and warning field

The protective safety field secures the hazardous area on a machine or
vehicle. As soon as the safety laser scanner detects an object in the
protective safety field, it switches the OSSDs to the off status and thus
initiates the shutdown of the machine or stop of the vehicle.
You can define the warning field such that the safety laser scanner detects
an object before the actual hazardous area and e.g. triggers a warning signal.
The protective safety field and warning field form a pair, the so-called
field set. With the aid of the SCD you can configure these field sets and
transfer them to the SafeZone safety laser scanner. If the area to be
monitored changes, then you can re-configure the SafeZone safety laser
scanner in software without additional mounting effort.
The SafeZone Singlezone has a single configurable field set. The
SafeZone Multizone has up to four configurable field sets. The SafeZone
Multizone allows switching between field sets if the monitoring situation
changes (see Section 3.2.3 Monitoring cases below).
3.2.3 Monitoring cases

Four monitoring cases can be defined in the SafeZone multizone and
selected during operation using static control input. Each monitoring
case includes:

Hazardous area protection

On dangerous stationary machines, the SafeZone safety laser scanner
switches the output signal switching devices (OSSDs) to the off status if
the protective safety field is interrupted. The SafeZone safety laser
scanner initiates the shutdown of the machine or the shutdown of the
dangerous state.

and warning field
monitoring case 2
On large machines the SafeZone safety laser scanner can be used to

protect the interior. The machine can only be restarted if the SafeZone
safety laser scanner does not detect any object in the protective safety
field. This is particularly important for interiors that can only be seen
with difficulty from the outside, or cannot be seen at all.
R
In this application, the SafeZone safety laser scanner only has a secondary
protective function. The primary safety function that stops the dangerous
movement is provided in the example by a light curtain , while the
SafeZone safety laser scanner monitors the restarting of the machine.
Access protection (vertical protection)

You can also use the SafeZone safety laser scanner vertically for access
protection. Access protection can be used when the access to the machine
can be defined by physical means. With access protection the SafeZone
safety laser scanner detects the entry of a person.
Contours on the floor and the

side walls as reference
Figure 10: Access protection
3.3.2 Mobile applications
Figure 8: Interior protection

Hazardous point protection (vertical protection)
The SafeZone safety laser scanner can also be used vertically. Mounting in this
way requires less space on the machine or equipment. Hazardous point
protection is necessary if the operator is near the dangerous state of the
machine. Hand protection must be configured to protect the hazardous
point.
The SafeZone safety laser scanner can be used both on manually

controlled vehicles, e.g. fork lift trucks, and also on automated guided
vehicles (AGV) or trolleys.
You can use the SafeZone safety laser scanner on vehicles, e.g. to protect
the route of a vehicle through a factory building. If there is a person or an
obstacle in the hazardous area, the SafeZone safety laser scanner ensures
that the vehicle reduces speed and stops if necessary.

Figure 12: Collision protection

As soon as vehicle reaches the warning field of vehicle , vehicle slows
down. When vehicle reaches the protective safety field of vehicle ,
vehicle stops.
Currently there are two SafeZone variants offered. The SafeZone
Singlezone is offered with a 4 meter protective safety field range and
Single field set (Warning and protective safety fields) and the SafeZone
Multizone is offered with a 5 meter protective safety field and up to four
configurable field sets.
The area to be monitored is scanned

radially by the SafeZone safety laser
scanner. The SafeZone safety laser
scanner cannot see around a corner.
The area behind objects that are in the
area to be monitored (pillars, columns,
etc.) can thus not be monitored.
The protective safety fields () can cover up to 190 and have a radius
of up to 4 or 5 m.
The warning fields () can cover up to 190 and have a radius of up to
49 m. Detection is dependent on the reflectivity (e.g. objects with a
reflectivity of 20% can be detected in a radius of up to 20 m).

the room contour is larger than the nominal scanning range , the
protective safety field corresponds to the nominal scanning range (4 or
5 m).
WARNING
Check the protective safety field

suggested.
The scanner cannot calculate the safety
distance necessary for your
application. Calculate the safety
distance based on the description in
Section 4 Installation and mounting
on page 18. Prior to commissioning the
machine or vehicle, check the
configuration of the protective safety
fields using the instructions in Section
8 Commissioning on page 36 and
using the checklist on page 54.
Protective safety field suggested by the safety laser scanner

You can also have the SCD software suggest a protective safety field. The
safety laser scanner scans the visible room contour several times. During this
process possible measurement errors are taken into account. From the data
obtained in this way the SCD software determines the contour of the
protective safety field.
You can obtain the suggestion for the protective
safety field in the field set editor in the SCD
software: Device symbol SafeZone safety laser
scanner, command Edit field sets.... In the field set
editor window that opens, Suggest protective safety
field button.
3.4.2 Application
With the SCD software you can configure the
SafeZone safety laser scanner for the required
application. For each application you first set the
resolution (device symbol SafeZone safety laser
scanner system, context menu Configuration draft,
Edit..., file card Application):
The size determined for the protective safety field is:

As large as the visible room contour.
In those places where there is no room contour
within the scanning range, as large as the
maximum scanning range of the safety laser
scanner (4 or 5 m).
IMPORTANT
Possible resolution for stationary applications:

30 mm (hand detection with smaller safety distance)
- 40 mm (hand detection with larger safety distance)
- 50 mm (leg detection with smaller protective safety field
size)
The measurement error tolerances of

the SafeZone safety laser scanner are
automatically subtracted from the
protective safety field suggested. As a
result the protective safety field is
slightly smaller than the surface
acquired.
- 70 mm (leg detection with larger protective safety field

size)
- 150 mm (body detection)
Possible resolution for mobile application:
- 70 mm (leg detection)
IMPORTANT
2
1
For mobile applications a resolution of

only 70 mm is required for leg
detection, as a lower resolution is
sufficient for the detection of a human
leg due to the movement of the
vehicle.

In those places at which the room contour is smaller than the nominal
scanning range (e.g. at ), the protective safety field corresponds to the

IMPORTANT
For contour monitoring you define part of the protective safety field as
a contour segment . Within the contour segment a tolerance band is
defined. This comprises a positive and a negative tolerance band.
The OSSDs on the SafeZone safety laser scanner change to the off status
if
There is an object in the protective safety field.
The room contour changes by more than the tolerance band (in the
example by opening the door or by changing the position of the
SafeZone safety laser scanner).
IMPORTANT
If the application involves multiple

sampling, that basic response time
may require added supplements. Refer
to Section 11.2 OSSD response times
(page 42) for more information.
You define the contour as a reference in the SCD

field set editor: Device symbol SafeZone safety laser
scanner, command Edit field sets In the field set
editor window. Tools menu. Add contour command.
3.4.3 Using the contour of the protective safety field

as a reference
If the beams of the protective safety field reach as far as an obstacle (e.g. the
floor in vertical applications or the walls in horizontal applications), the
SafeZone multizone safety laser scanner can also monitor the contour of the
You can define any number of contour

segments. The contour segments must
not be narrower than the configured
resolution. At the points where a
contour has been configured as a
reference you cannot define a warning
field.
Vertical operation
In vertical operation (for access protection and hazardous point
protection) according to IEC/EN 61496-3 you must always configure and
activate the contour as reference function. If the radius of a protective safety
field exceeds 4 meters, then it must be ensured that changes to the
positioning of the safety laser scanner resulting in a movement of the
protective safety field of more than 100 mm are detected.
Recommendation
12 10000073050, July 2011
Use vertical passage limits at the side (e.g.

door frames) and the floor as the reference. If
in this case the position of the SafeZone
safety laser scanner is changed in one or
more planes, the distance to the reference
changes and the SafeZone multizone safety
laser scanner switches its OSSDs to the OFF
state.
R
3.4.4 External device monitoring (EDM)

The EDM function monitors the contact elements activated by both the
OSSDs (e.g. contactors). The machine is only allowed to start if both
contactors are in the de-energized state on reset, that is they are
deactivated.
The SafeZone safety laser scanner monitors the contactors after every
interruption of the protective safety field and before the restart of the
machine. The EDM can in this way identify if one of the contactors has
welded in the following manner.
You can configure the external device monitoring in
the SCD (device symbol SafeZone safety laser
Edit..., file card Scanner name).
If no internal restart interlock is configured, then

3.4.5 Application diagnostic output

Figure 17: Protective safety field as reference for horizontal operation
IMPORTANT
It is not possible to define any warning

field in the areas of the contour
segments. This is only possible
between contour segments.
ATTENTION
Each output signal switching device

(OSSD) is only allowed to be connected
to one switching element (e.g. relay or
contactor).
The application diagnostic output, when not configured, sources 24V

DC. When configured for contamination or status of outputs (OSSDs)
or both, the ADO will turn off to signal one of the configured states (see
Table 21 on page 40).

For the application diagnostic output you must
decide
Restart delay
On the SafeZone safety laser scanner, instead of a restart interlock you can
configure a restart delay of 2 to 60 seconds. This enables the machine or the
vehicle to start automatically when the protective safety field becomes
clear, and the pre-set time has elapsed. It is not possible to combine restart
interlock and restart delay.
ATTENTION
Whether it is deactivated.
Whether an output signal is only active when the
front screen is contaminated.
Whether an output signal is only active when an
error occurs.
Whether an output signal is activated for both the
front screen contamination and on errors.
Operators may be at risk if restart

interlock is not configured. Check, if
necessary, whether it is possible to
prevent personnel from approacing
the hazard point by design measures
(see Section 4.1.2 Measures to protect
areas not covered by the SafeZone
safety laser scanner" on page 21).

The SafeZone safety laser scanner

cannot differentiate between a
contaminated front screen and an
obstacle directly in front of it. To ensure
high availability, the SafeZone multizone
safety laser scanner has been designed
such that it reliably detects dark black
bodies such as wide black cord or shoe
leather from a distance of 5 cm in front
of the front screen. Black objects that
are closer to the front screen may not be
detected.
ATTENTION
Secure the area close to the SafeZone

safety laser scanner if operated without
restart interlock.
Figure 18: Schematic of operation with restart interlock

Restart interlock
The dangerous state of a machine or a vehicle is interrupted as soon as
there is an object in the protective safety field and is not enabled again ,
even if there is no longer an object in the protective safety field. The
OSSDs are only enabled again when the operator operates the control
switch for restarting or resetting.
The restart interlock can be implemented in two different ways:
With the internal restart interlock of the SafeZone safety laser
scanner:
The outputs on the SafeZone safety laser scanner are enabled after the
connected control switch is operated.
With the restart interlock of the machine controller:
The SafeZone safety laser scanner has no effect on the restart.
ATTENTION
Place the control switch for restart or

reset outside the hazardous area in a
place where it can clearly be seen from
the hazardous area.
Place the control switch for restart or
reset outside the hazardous area such
that it cannot be operated by a person
in the hazardous area. Ensure that the
person who operates the control
switch has a full view of the hazardous
area.
14 10000073050, July 2011
It is important to configure the

SafeZone safety laser scanner with
restart interlock if a person cannot be
detected at every point in the hazard
area for the SafeZone safety laser
scanner.
Make the area near the device

inaccessible by means of physical
measures (hard guard or recessing) or,
in addition to the SafeZone safety laser
scanner, use a proximity switch with 5
cm acquisition range. Without this
additional protection you will
endanger persons who move from the
protective safety field into the area
near the device.
R
If you do not use the restart interlock, leave the inputs disconnected (see
Section 5.1.1 Pin assignments of the I/O modules on page 32).

restart interlock of the SafeZone safety
laser scanner takes over the function
for resetting the protective device.
You can configure the type of restart in the SCD (device symbol SafeZone
safety laser scanner system, context menu Configuration draft, Edit..., file
card Scanner name).
3.4.7 Multiple sampling

When multiple sampling is set, an object must be scanned several times
before the SafeZone safety laser scanner switches off its OSSDs. In this
way you can reduce the probability that objects falling through the scan
plane, for example welding sparks or other particles, result in the
shutdown of the equipment.
With a multiple sampling configuration of (e.g., 3) an object must be
scanned three times in succession before the SafeZone safety laser
scanner switches off the OSSDs.
IMPORTANT
Reset
IMPORTANT
After operating the control switch for the internal

restart interlock (with protective safety field
unoccupied)
The SafeZone multizone safety laser scanner
switches on its OSSDs.
The adjacent LED on the safety laser scanner
illuminates green.
The external restart interlock prevents the machine from restarting.
After resetting the SafeZone safety laser scanner the operator must press
the control switch to restart the machine controller.
ATTENTION
On the SafeZone safety laser scanner, a multiple sampling of 2 is the

minimum setting. You can set the multiple sampling up to 16 with the aid of
the SCD software.

Using multiple sampling you can increase

the availability of a machinery.
You can configure the multiple sampling in the SCD

software for each monitoring case (device symbol
SafeZone safety laser scanner system, context menu
Configuration draft, Edit..., Monitoring case name, file
card Scanner name).
Ensure that the correct sequence is

followed!
The controller must be configured such
that the machine only restarts if the
SafeZone safety laser scanner is first
reset and then the control switch for
restarting the machine controller is
pressed.
IMPORTANT
With a multiple sampling greater than

2, note that you must add a
supplement to the basic response time
(see Section 11.2 OSSD response
times on page 42)!
The reset function is often also called

preparation for restart. In these
operating instructions the term reset is
typically used.
If you want to activate the restart interlock on the SafeZone safety laser
scanner (internal) and also a restart interlock on the machine (external),
then each restart interlock needs its own control switch.
The total response time is increased by

the multiple sampling.
3.4.8 Monitoring cases

If you are using the SafeZone multizone, you can define up to four
monitoring cases.
You will find examples on the

connection of the internal restart
interlock in Section 6.3 Example
circuits on page 34.
R
10000073050, July 2011

IMPORTANT
Ensure that the safety distance to the

dangerous state is properly established
in any monitoring case to protect the
hazardous area.
IMPORTANT
See Section 4 Installation and

mounting on page 18.
It is possible to switch between these monitoring cases during operation
using static control inputs.
Park mode
For mobile applications in which vehicles are parked for a time, the
SafeZone multizone safety laser scanner can be switched to park mode.
In the park mode the OSSDs are deactivated and the laser beam in the
safety laser scanner will shutdown. In this way the power consumption of
the device is reduced.
Ensure that the controlusing static
control inputsprovides switching

between the monitoring cases in the
correct time frame. Note that at the time
of the switching there may be a person
in the protective safety field. Only by
means of switching in the correct time
frame (i.e. before the hazard occurs at
this point for the person) is protection
provided (see Section 4.5 Timing for
monitoring case switching on page 27).
The park mode can be configured for a monitoring case. To switch to the
park mode, the input must be configured such that the related
monitoring case with the park mode is activated.
Recommendation
If you park vehicles beside each other,

switch them to the park mode. In this way
you prevent the SafeZone multizone safety
laser scanner on the vehicles from optically
interferring with each other and the
SafeZone multizone safety laser scanner
from possibly entering an error (lockout)
condition.
You can configure the monitoring cases in the SCD

software (device symbol SafeZone multizone safety
laser scanner system, context menu Configuration
draft, Edit...).
3.4.9 Static control inputs
Static complementary sampling

A control input comprises a pair of two connections. For correct
switching one connection must be inverted in relation to the other.
The following table shows the levels that must be present at the
connections for the control input to define the logical input state 1 and 0
at the related control input.

The SafeZone multizone safety laser scanner has two two-channel static
control inputs through which the four possible monitoring cases can be
switched.
You can configure the control input in the SCD
software (device symbol SafeZone multizone safety
laser scanner system, context menu Configuration
draft, Edit..., file card Inputs).
If you are using static sampling, decide between complementary or 1-of-n
sampling depending on the control features available.
When switching the monitoring cases

using static control inputs, please note
the following points:
Ensure that the control for the
monitoring case switching has a
sufficiently high level of safety.
Ensure that the circuit for the control
inputs is suitable for the ambient
conditions to be expected so that
systematic effects and thus errors on
the switching of the monitoring
cases can be excluded.
Using the control input pair on the SafeZone multizone safety laser
scanner; four monitoring cases can be switched.
Static 1-of-n sampling
With 1-of-n sampling you use each of the two control input connections.
All connections must be used, only one connection is ever allowed to be 1.

Input delay
If the control device which is used to switch the static control inputs cannot
switch within 10 ms (for 60 ms basic response time) or 20 ms (for 120 ms
basic response time) to the related input condition (e.g. due to switch
bounce times), you must choose an input delay. For the input delay choose
the time in which your defined control device can switch to a
corresponding input condition.
Independent of the basic response time chosen for the SafeZone
multizone safety laser scanner, you can increase the input delay in 30-ms
steps (for 60 ms basic response time) or 60-ms steps (for 120 ms basic
response time).
The following figures, derived from experience, are a guide for the
various switching methods given.
You configure a monitoring case with simultaneous

field set in the SCD.
3.4.11 Naming applications and laser scanners

A name can be assigned to the application configured and to the laser
scanner(s). The names are saved in the devices after the configuration is
transferred. The name chosen may, for example, be the identifier for the
system or the machine.
If you assign unique application names, you may reserve the devices for
certain duties. A machine maintenance person comparing exchanged
devices with the configuration data saved in the SCD software will be
notified that the application name does not match. He may then
exchange these devices for those with the correct application name.

3.5.1 LEDs and 7-segment display
To check the switching between monitoring cases, configure a series of

monitoring cases. Here you can define either an arbitrary sequence, a
unique sequence, or two alternative sequences.
The LEDs and the 7-segment display indicate the operational status of
the SafeZone safety laser scanner. They are on the front face of the safety
laser scanner. Above the LEDs there are symbols that are used in the
remainder of these operating instructions to describe the LEDs.
Arbitrary sequence: It is allowed to switch from one monitoring case to

any other defined monitoring case.
Unique sequence: It is only allowed to switch from a monitoring case to
another specifically defined monitoring case.
Alternative sequence: It is allowed to switch from a monitoring case to
one of two specifically defined monitoring cases.
Use the checking of the monitoring cases as
an additional medium to exclude risks. For
example, deviations of a vehicle from a
corridor or a plant from the stipulated
production process can be detected.

safety laser scanner has the following outputs:
OSSDs
Warning field
Application diagnostic output (contamination of the front screen/
error)
Reset required
The outputs are brought out at the system connection (see Section 5.1
System connection on page 31).
IMPORTANT
All outputs are only allowed to be used

for the purpose specified. Note that the
signals at the application diagnostic
outputs for warning field,
contamination of the front screen/
error and reset necessary are not
safe. For this reason the warning field is
not allowed to be used for tasks related
to personnel protection.
Section 4 Installation and Mounting

This section describes the preparation and completion of the mounting of
the SafeZone safety laser scanner.
Mounting requires four steps:
Definition of the application and the necessary mounting location for
the laser scanner
Calculation of the protective safety field sizes
You can enter the calculated protective safety field sizes with the aid of
the SCD software. Or leave the SafeZone safety laser scanner to suggest
the protective safety fields. In the latter case it is necessary to check
whether the suggested sizes correspond to those calculated. Thus in any
circumstance you must calculate the protective safety field size.

IMPORTANT
Mount the SafeZone safety laser

scanner in a dry place and protect
the device from dirt and damage.
Avoid strong electrical fields.
These can be produced by
welding cables, induction cables in
the immediate vicinity and also by
mobile telephones operated in
close physical proximity.
Ensure that there are no obstacles
in the area to be monitored in the
field of view of the SafeZone
safety laser scanner that could
cause interference or shadowing.
Such shadowed areas cannot be
monitored by the SafeZone safety
laser scanner. If there are
unavoidable shadowed areas,
check whether there is a risk. Take
additional safety precautions as
necessary.

4.1 Stationary application in horizontal

operation
This type of protective device is suitable for machines and equipment on
which a hazardous area is not enclosed by a fixed protective device.
Keep the area to be monitored free

of smoke, fog, steam or other forms
of air impurities. Otherwise the
function of the SafeZone safety
laser scanner may be impaired
causing nuisance stops.
Avoid placing highly reflective
objects in the scan plane of the

part 1, Section 7).
The following steps are necessary after mounting and installation:
Completing the electrical connections (Section 5 Electrical installation
on page 31)
4.1.1 Protective safety field size

The protective safety field must be so configured that a safety distance
(S) to the hazardous area is maintained. This safety distance ensures that
the hazardous point can only be reached after the dangerous state of the
machine has been completely stopped.
R
Once you have defined the protective

safety field size, mark the boundaries of
the protective safety field on the floor.
This avoids inadvertent entrance into
the protective safety field and makes it
possible to subsequently check the
shape of the protective safety field.
10000073050, July 2011
19
IMPORTANT
If you are using the SafeZone

multizone, you can define several
monitoring cases with different
protective safety fields. In such cases
you must calculate the protective
safety field size for all protective safety
fields used.
You can operate the SafeZone safety laser scanner in stationary horizontal
operation with 50 mm or with 70 mm resolution. For each resolution you
can choose between 60 ms and 120 ms response time. The maximum
protective safety field range for the SafeZone safety laser scanner is given by
the resolution and the response time.
If you choose a 50 mm resolution, the maximum protective safety field
range is less than for a 70 mm resolution, however you can mount the
SafeZone safety laser scanner as low as required.
If you choose a 70 mm resolution, you can configure the largest
protective safety field range (5 m) but must position the scan plane of
the SafeZone multizone safety laser scanner at 300 mm.
ATTENTION
Ensure that a human leg can be

detected in horizontal stationary
applications with 70 mm resolution.
Mount the scan planes for horizontal
stationary applications with 70 mm
resolution at a height of at least 300
mm (see Height of the scan plane at
70 mm resolution on page 26).
Calculation of the safety distance S:

First, calculate S using the following formula:
S = (K x (TM + TS )) + ZG + ZR + C
Where...
K = Approach speed (1600 mm/s, defined in EN 999)

TM = Stopping/run-down time of the machine or system
TS = Response time of the SafeZone multizone safety laser scanner
combined with the downstream controller
ZG = General safety supplement = 100 mm
ZR = Supplement for measurement error related to reflection
C = Supplement for prevention of reaching over
Response time TS of the SafeZone safety laser scanner

The response time TS of the SafeZone safety laser scanner depends
on
The resolution used
The multiple sampling used
See Section 11.2 OSSD response times on page 42.
Supplement ZR for measurement error related to

reflection
ATTENTION
Recommendation
Due to the choice of two resolutions and

two response times, it may be necessary to
repeatedly calculate the protective safety
field size (iterative calculation).
With retroreflectors positioned at a

distance of less than 1 m from the
boundary of the protective safety field
a supplement, ZR, of 200 mm must be
added to the protective safety field.
Perform your protective safety field calculation initially based on a

resolution of 50 mm and a basic response time of 60 ms.
If the calculated protective safety field is larger than the maximum
protective safety field range at 50 mm resolution, calculate it again using
the same resolution and the higher response time.
If the protective safety field calculated is larger than the maximum
protective safety field range achievable, then re-calculate the protective
safety field with the lower resolution.
The safety distance S depends on:
Approach speed of the body or parts of the body
Stopping/run-down time of the machine or system
(The stopping/run-down time is shown in the machine
documentation or must be determined by taking a measurement.)
Avoid mounting retroreflectors at a

distance of less than one meter from
the boundary of the protective safety
field.
Supplement C for protection against reaching over

With a protective safety field installed horizontally, there is a risk that
people may reach over the protective safety field and in this way reach the
hazardous area before the SafeZone safety laser scanner shuts down the
hazardous motion. For this reason the calculation of the safety distance
must take into account a supplement to prevent persons from finding
themselves in a hazardous situation by reaching over the protective safety
field (see EN 294, table 1) before the SafeZone safety laser scanner
detects the intrusion to the protective safety field.

The necessary supplement for the safety distance is dependent on the
height of the scan plane for the protective safety field. At low heights
the supplement is larger than at greater heights .
ATTENTION
Height of the scan plane at 70 mm resolution

Due to the radial sampling of the protective safety field, the optical
resolution will be lower the further away you get from the scanner.
Prevent the possibility of crawling

beneath the protective device if you
mount it higher than 300 mm.
Prevent people from being able to crawl
beneath the protective safety field by
means of appropriate mounting of the
SafeZone safety laser scanner. If you
mount the protective device higher
than 300 mm, then prevent crawling
beneath by means of additional
measures. For applications that are
accessible to the public, the mounting
height may need to be reduced to 200
mm (see the appropriate public
regulations).
How to calculate the supplement C:

If there is enough empty space in front of your machine or equipment,
use 1200 mm for the supplement C.
If the safety distance is to be kept as small as possible, calculate C
using the following formula:

C = 1200 mm - (0.4 x HD )
Figure 24: Relationship between resolution and protective safety field

mounting height
If you choose a resolution of 70 mm in the SCD software for hazardous
area protection, a human leg may, in certain circumstances, not be
detected. The reason in this case would be that the beams miss the ankle
on the left and right .
If you mount the SafeZone safety laser scanner higher, the scan plane is at
fibula height and the leg is also detected with an object resolution of 70 mm
.

standing behind.
Install the SafeZone safety laser
scanner in a recess.
4.2 Stationary Vertical Operation for Access

Protection
Access protection can be used when the access to the machine can be
defined by physical means. For access protection the SafeZone safety
laser scanner detects the entry of an entire body.
IMPORTANT
Mounting with hard guards
To ensure adequate access protection,

a response time of ~ 90 ms and a
resolution of 150 mm or finer is
required.
To protect the SafeZone multizone
scanner against inadvertent
adjustment or manipulation, use the
contour of the surrounding area as a
reference (see Section 3.4.3 Using the
contour of the protective safety field as
a reference on page 12).
4.2.1 Safety distance

For access protection, a safety distance (S) must be maintained between
protective safety field and hazardous area. This safety distance ensures
that the hazardous point can only be reached after the dangerous state of
the machine has been completely stopped.
Figure 26: Example of mounting with hard guards

Fit the hard guard such that the areas not covered by the safety laser
scanner are completely protected against personnel standing in them.

Response time TS of the SafeZone safety laser scanner

4.3.1 Safety distance
ATTENTION
The overall response time of the

SafeZone safety laser scanner must not
be more than 90 ms for access
protection.
If a critical response time is exceeded (for
an object diameter of 150 mm and a
speed of 1.6 m/s that is 90 ms) a person
may no longer be detected under
certain circumstances. The critical
response time is exceeded if the basic
response time is too high, possibly due
to multiple sampling or due to the
usage of external OSSDs.
In specific cases agreed with the
responsible authorities higher response
times may be allowed (for example by
increasing the detection time available
by positioning the scanner at an angle).
In this case ensure that the areas the
scanner cannot see are protected by
additional measures.
For hazardous point protection, a safety distance must be observed

between protective safety field and hazardous point. This safety distance
ensures that the hazardous point can only be reached after the dangerous
state of the machine has been completely stopped.
You can operate the SafeZone multizone safety laser scanner with 30 mm
or 40 mm resolution for hazardous point protection. At each resolution
you can choose a response time between 60 ms and 120 ms (due to the
proximity of the hazardous point in the majority of cases only the shorter
response time can be used). The maximum protective safety field range
and the minimum distance to the hazardous point is given by the
resolution and the response time.
If you choose 30 mm resolution, the protective safety field that can be
configured is smaller (for smaller hazardous points to be protected),
however you can mount the SafeZone multizone safety laser scanner
nearer to the hazardous point.
If you choose 40 mm resolution, the protective safety field that can be
configured is larger (thus for larger hazardous points to be protected),
however you must mount the SafeZone multizone safety laser scanner
further away from the hazardous point.

You must configure the protective safety field such that a safety distance to
the vehicle is maintained. This ensures that a vehicle monitored by the
SafeZone safety laser scanner comes to a stop before a person or object is
reached.

4.4.4 Methods of preventing unprotected areas

When the SafeZone safety laser scanner is mounted on a plane surface,
there are areas in front of the mounting surface that are not covered by
the safety laser scanner.
Figure 37: Fitting the SafeZone safety laser scanner in the vehicle trim
Additionally, protect the area near to the scanner (5 cm wide area in front
of the front screen) using a proximity switch with 5 cm acquisition range.
Otherwise make the area near the scanner impassable with a bar or a
recess. The vehicle may then be accelerated as required.
Figure 36: Unprotected areas for mobile applications

These unprotected areas become larger if you mount the SafeZone
safety laser scanner using mounting kits.
IMPORTANT

Direct mounting
109 mm
With mounting kit 1
112 mm
With mounting kit 1 and 2
127 mm
With mounting kit 1, 2 and 3
142 mm
ATTENTION
Note that the system must be fitted e.g.

in a trim panel without impairing the
optical beam path. The attachment of
an additional front screen is thus not
permitted. Any slot for the field of view
must be adequately sized (see Fig. 69 in
Section 11.5 Dimensional drawings on
page 50).
Recommendation
Secure the unprotected areas.

If a vehicle is accelerated to a maximum
velocity of 0.3 m/s in less than three
seconds when in operation, you must
prevent personnel from entering the
unprotected areas by means of
mechanical trim panels, switch strips or
fitting the SafeZone safety laser scanner
in the vehicle trim panels.
Fitting in the vehicle trim

Build the SafeZone safety laser scanner into the vehicle trim such that the
unprotected areas are 70 mm and the SafeZone safety laser scanner
projects a maximum of 109 mm beyond the front of the vehicle. The
vehicle may then be accelerated to a velocity of 0.3 m/s within a second.
If, when observing all necessary safety

precautions, you are able to avoid the use of
a restart interlock, you will increase the
availability of your vehicle.
4.5 Timing for monitoring case switching

If you switch between several monitoring cases, along with the safety
distance to the dangerous state there is a further safety-relevant aspect that
you must address.
If you can switch within 10 or 20 ms, the chosen protective safety field is
available within the response time of the SafeZone safety laser scanner. For
this reason you can initiate the switching at the time at which you actually
want to switch from one monitoring case to the other.
However, you must advance the timing of the switching if you
Have entered an input delay for your switching method (see Input
delay on page 17).
Control external OSSDs instead of the internal OSSDs The
following diagram shows the relationships:

Figure 38: Advancement for the switch timing

If the input conditions are present at the control inputs within 10 or 20
ms (cf. ), the timing for the switching (tUF) does not need to be
advanced.
If an input delay for the control inputs needs to be taken into account
(cf. ), the timing for the switching (tUFVz2) must be advanced by the
input delay.
If external OSSDs are used, the timing for the switching (tUFVz4) must
be further advanced by 20 ms (cf. ().
ATTENTION
Define the timing for the switching

such that the SafeZone safety laser
scanner already detects a person in the
protective safety field before the
dangerous state occurs.
At the time of the switching there may
be personnel in the protective safety
field. Only by means of switching in the
correct time frame (i.e. before the
hazard occurs at this point for the
person) is protection provided.
IMPORTANT
Figure 39: Example of advancing the timing for the switching

The gantry robot moves to the right . On the left hand side the
dangerous movement is monitored by a monitoring case . When the
gantry robot arrives at the point tUv, switching must have already been
performed due to the advancing of the switching necessary so that at time
tU the right monitoring case is active.
Note: For the movement to the left, that is for the switching to the
monitoring case , the same applies.
How far you must advance the timing for the switching
depends on
The input delay your switching method requires to provide the input
condition for case switching (see Input delay on page 17).
In the phases before and after the

switching, the safety distances
calculated for the individual
monitoring cases apply on their own.
The considerations above serve only
for the selection of the optimal timing
of the switching.
If the timing for the switching cannot be
exactly defined, e.g. due to the variable
processing speed of the machine, or if
advancing of the timing results in
premature termination of the
monitoring of the initial area, you must
Have both hazardous areas
monitored temporarily using

simultaneous monitoring.
The following figure shows an example for a gantry robot that is
protected using two monitoring cases.

Special features to note during

mounting:
scanner such that it is protected from
moisture, dirt and damage.
Ensure that the front screen field of
view is not restricted.
The mounting kits build one on another. For mounting with kit 2 you will
therefore also need kit 1. For fixing with mounting kit 3 you will therefore
also need mounting kits 1 and 2. You will find the part numbers for the
mounting kits in Section 12.2 Accessories and replacement parts on page
53.
IMPORTANT
M6 on rear = 12 km max
Mount the scanner such that the

indicators are easy to see.
Always mount the SafeZone safety laser
scanner such that you can plug in and
remove the system connection.
Avoid excessive shock and vibration
loading on the safety laser scanner.
Observe the maximum torque of the

fastening hardware for the SafeZone
M8 on side = 16 km max
Direct mounting
The SafeZone safety laser scanner has four threaded holes M6 x 8 on its
rear face. Using these holes you can directly mount the SafeZone safety
laser scanner by drilling through the mounting surface from the rear.
On applications that suffer from heavy

vibration, prevent the mounting
screws from coming loose using screw
locking devices.
Regularly check the tightness of the
mounting screws.
M6 x 8
Prevent personnel from being able to

crawl beneath, stand behind or climb
over the protective safety field by
means of appropriate mounting of the
SafeZone safety laser scanner.
Figure 41: Threaded holes for direct mounting
Recommendation
Use mounting kit 1. This will make the

device easier to remove.
4.6.2 Mounting with mounting kit 1

With the aid of mounting kit 1 you can mount the SafeZone safety laser
scanner indirectly on the mounting surface. This is always necessary if
you cannot drill through the mounting surface from the rear.

4.6.6 Using multiple SafeZone safety laser scanners

The SafeZone safety laser scanner is so designed that mutual interference
between several scanners is unlikely. To completely exclude erroneous
switching, you must mount the scanners as shown in the following
examples.
IMPORTANT
Mount kit 1 on mounting kit 2.

Mount the SafeZone safety laser scanner on kit 1.
Adjust the SafeZone safety laser scanner longitudinally and cross-wise.
In all circumstances observe EN 999.
Use the mounting kits 1 to 3 to adjust the scanners to different angles

(see Section 12.2 Accessories and replacement parts on page 53).

With the aid of mounting kit 3 (only in conjunction with mounting kits
1 and 2) you can mount the SafeZone multizone safety laser scanner such
that the scan plane is parallel to the mounting surface. This enables stable
floor mounting or ensures that mounting kit 2 remains precisely
adjustable cross-wise on uneven wall surfaces.

The duration of power up depends on

the volume of the configuration data
and can take up to 20 seconds.
8.2 Test notes

8.2.1 Pre-commissioning tests
The purpose of the pre-commissioning tests is to confirm the safety
requirements specified in the national/international rules and
regulations (EC Conformity). This applies particularly to the safety
requirements in the machine directive or work equipment directive.
ATTENTION
Ensure that you do not place anybody

at risk during initial commissioning of
the machine.
As a general commissioning concern,
always expect that the machine,
equipment or the protective device
does not yet behave as you have
planned.
8.1.1 Power up sequence

After power up, the SafeZone safety laser scanner runs through the
power up cycle. During the power up cycle, the 7-segment display
indicates the device status.
Ensure that there are no persons in the hazardous area during initial
commissioning.
Check the effectiveness of the protective device mounted to the
machine, using all selectable operating modes as specified in the checklist
in the annex (see Section 13.1 Manufacturers checklist on page 54).
Make sure that the operating personnel of the machine protected by the
safety laser scanner are properly instructed by specialist personnel
before being allowed to operate the machine. Instructing the operating
personnel is the responsibility of the machine owner.
Ensure that the adhesive label Important information, which is
included with the scanner on delivery, is affixed to the machine in a
place where it is clearly visible for the operators. Ensure that the
operators have the possibility to perform this daily check correctly.
The annex to this document includes a checklist for review by the
manufacturer and OEM. Use this checklist as a reference prior to
commissioning for the first time (see Section 13.1 Manufacturers
checklist on page 54).
Document the adjustment of the scanner and the results of the testing
during initial commissioning in a traceable manner. For this purpose
also print out the complete configuration of the scanner (including
R
protective safety field shapes) and include these with the

documentation.
8.2.2 Regular inspection of the protective device by

qualified personnel
Check the system following the inspection intervals specified in
the national rules and regulations. This procedure ensures that

any changes on the machine or manipulations of the protective
device after the first commissioning are detected.
If major changes have been made to the machine or the protective
device, or if the safety laser scanner has been modified or repaired,
check the equipment again as per the checklist in the annex (see Section
13.1 Manufacturers checklist on page 54).
8.2.3 Daily testing of the protective device by a

specialist or authorized personnel
The effectiveness of the protective device must be checked daily by a
specialist or by authorized personnel. The test must also be performed if
the operating mode is changed.
ATTENTION
For stationary applications, check that the danger area marked out on
the floor matches the shape of the protective safety field stored in the
SafeZone safety laser scanner and that any gaps are protected by
additional protective measures. In the case of mobile applications, check
that the moving vehicle actually stops at the field limits which are set in
the SafeZone safety laser scanner and listed on the information label in
the vehicle or in the configuration protocol. If you discover any nonconformance of this function, the machine/equipment/vehicle must be
stopped immediately and checked by a specialist.
8.3 Re-commissioning
If the SafeZone safety laser scanner has previously been commissioned, but
the device replaced, the SafeZone safety laser scanner automatically reads
the saved configuration from the system connector. In this way acceptance
by a specialist is not necessary. However, the test in accordance with the
regulations for the daily test must be performed (see Section 8.2.3 Daily
testing of the protective device by a specialist or authorized personnel on
page 37).
When you place a configured SafeZone safety laser scanner (e.g. after
replacement of the sensor head) back into operation, the following
indications are possible:
No further operation if errors occur

during the test.
If any one of the following points is not
met, it is not permitted to continue to
work on the machine or operate the
vehicle. In this case the installation of
the SafeZone multizone safety laser
scanner must be checked by
specialized personnel (see Section
8.2.2 Regular inspection of the
protective device by qualified
personnel on page 37).
The test must be carried out for the relevant preset monitoring case.

and checked by a specialist.
Deliberately obstruct the protective safety field without risk to any
personnel while the machine is running in order to test the effectiveness
of the entire system.
The LEDs of the SafeZone safety laser scanner device must change from
green to red and the hazardous movement must stop immediately.
Repeat this test at different points in the danger area and on all SafeZone
multizone safety laser scanner devices. If you discover any nonconformance of this function, the machine/equipment must be shut
down immediately and checked by a specialist.

Applies to the voltage range between Uv and 0V.
In the case of a fault (the 0V cable is open circuit) the leakage current flows through the OSSD cable as a maximum. The downstream controller must detect this status as LOW. An
FPLC (fail-safe programmable logic controller) must detect this status.
The maximum rated load inductance is higher with lower switching sequence.

Make sure to limit the individual line core resistance to the downstream controller to this value to ensure that a short-circuit between the outputs is safely detected (also
note EN 60 204-1).
When active, the outputs are tested cyclically (brief LOW). When selecting the downstream controllers, make sure that the test pulses do not result in deactivation.

13.2 Glossary
AOPDDR
Active opto-electronic protective device responsive to diffuse reflection (e.g. SafeZone safety laser scanner, see also IEC/
EN 61496-3)
Control Input, static
The monitoring cases are switched using the control inputs. The SafeZone safety laser scanner has one static control
input.
External device
monitoring (EDM)
Field set
I/O module
A means by which the electro-sensitive protective equipment (ESPE) monitors the state of control devices which
are external to the ESPE.
Protective safety field and warning field form a pair, the so-called field set.
Defines the functionality of the SafeZone safety laser scanner.
Monitoring case
A field set (if necessary a simultaneous field set) is allocated to a monitoring case. Monitoring case switching is performed
using the control inputs. In this way the SafeZone safety laser scanner can be adapted to the operating mode of the
machine or equipment that it monitors.
OSSD
The OSSD output is the switching output on the SafeZone safety laser scanner. This is a semiconductor output and
is periodically tested for correct function. The SafeZone safety laser scanner has two OSSD outputs that operate in
parallel; for safety reasons these must be evaluated using two channels.
The protective safety field secures the hazardous area on a machine or vehicle. As soon as the safety laser scanner detects
an object in the protective safety field, it switches the OSSDs to the off status and thus initiates the shutdown of the
machine or stop of the vehicle.
Reflectivity
Reflection of luminance. A measure of the reflectivity is the reflectance defined as the ratio of the luminance
reflected from a surface in the measuring direction and the luminance of a completely matt white surface (white
standard).
Resolution
The minimum size of an object that is acquired by the protective device and is guaranteed by the manufacturer
Restart interlock
The restart interlock is a protective device. In certain situations it prevents the machine from automatically
restarting. This applies, e.g., after the scanner function has triggered during a dangerous machine state, after a
change to the operating mode or the method of activation of the machine, or after the change to the start control
device on the machine.
Sensor head
Contains the opto-electronic acquisition system.
System plug
Contains the configuration memory and all electrical connections. In this way the SafeZone safety laser scanner can
be easily replaced. After re-commissioning the configuration is loaded from the system plug; the SafeZone
multizone safety laser scanner is then, normally, ready for use.
Warning field
The warning field is a field with a radius of 49 m. Using this field larger areas can be controlled and simple switching
functions (e.g. warning functions) triggered. The warning field is not allowed to be used for tasks related to the
protection of people.
