The FF-SE laser scanner from Honeywell is a revolutionary product in the world of
industrial safety. This device combines radar and laser principles to scan pre-defined zones around dangerous machinery or moving vehicles. In case of intrusion
in these zones, output relays are immediately opened, eliminating the danger.
An infrared class 1 laser beam strikes a mirror rotating at 8 Hz, allowing it to sweep
a 300° area. Any object with a minimum reflectivity of 1,8% (black target) will be
detected in a 6 m / 19.7 ft radius. Two safety levels may be set through two zones
that can have any shape:
• “alarm zone”, in a 10 m / 32.8 ft radius around the FF-SE
• “safety zone” in a 6 m / 19.7 ft radius
These two zones are defined using the software (ordered separately), running on a
computer connected to the FF-SE, which allows the areas to be protected to be
displayed on the screen. The two zones correspond to two independent outputs,
allowing multiple applications:
• the alarm zone can be used to trigger an acoustic or light signal when a person
approaches, which indicates that there is a close danger, allowing the intruder to
withdraw without stopping the machine.
• the safety zone is used to trigger the immediate stopping of the machinery
(2 safety NO contacts).
Restart is automatic after clearing the zone. Use additional safety control module if
manual restart is needed.
This system is unique because of its small resolution (0,5° in angle) and its excellent precision, while covering a wide area (262 m2 / 2820 ft2). The FF-SE has been
designed in agreement with the pr EN 61496-3 that will soon be brought into effect
for this new kind of detecting device.

External and internal surveillance systems make it a Type 3 optoelectronic protective system. Its self-cleaning optical head and its good immunity to pollution guarantee a superior reliability.

The protection zone is made up of 600 beams. Each beam receives a signal corresponding to a distance measured using the
light time of flight principle, whatever the reflectivity of the target. If this signal goes below a user defined threshold during
the surveillance, it means that an object is present in the protection area. Consequently, the corresponding relay is opened.
The surveillance area includes an alarm zone and a safety zone,
that are user-defined. Both may have an irregular shape which
corresponds to the environment.
Applications: a greater flexibility
The FF-SE being an optoelectronic detecting device, it has a no
touch detection and therefore brings more flexibility on site. Its
principle of diffuse reflection simplifies the installation, compared to the traditional emitter/receiver pair of light curtains.
The protection zones do not need any additional fixture (wall,
fence, door...) since the FF-SE covers a 300° angle and adapts
to existing obstacles. Installation costs are reduced to a minimum and the working position is easily accessible since the
protection is a no-touch type.

device has emitted the stop signal

• H: Height of the beam from the ground,

In case of a change in the machine or production floor layout,
the FF-SE can adapt very quickly by a re-configuration. The
FF-SE is not linked to any particular set up or machine: it is
exchangeable just by programming.
Compared to a usual safety device (light curtain, safety mat,
door...), the FF-SE includes two protection zones which is a
great asset: the alarm zone, used as an early warning zone,
allows a signal to an intruder that he is close to a dangerous
zone and that his movement is about to stop the machine.
There is still time for the individual to change direction and
avoid a stoppage of the equipment that can be costly if it
occurs often. By avoiding unnecessary stoppage, the FF-SE
increases the production lines productivity without decreasing
the safety: it protects just what is needed.

Software
The Honeywell software kit allows the protection zones to be
easily programmed into the sensor. This software runs under
any PC (286 or more), under MS DOS. The FF-SE is linked to the
PC through the serial port (RS232 format) and a cable supplied
with the software kit. The custom zone definition can be
achieved through 3 different methods that can be combined:
• with the mouse, by clicking on end points forming the limit of
the protection field;
• with the keyboard, by plotting points with the cursor keys;
• with a text editor in which the end points are defined by their
coordinates;
Defining the protection zones is easy since obstacles are displayed on the screen: they are seen in real time.
Using a PC also allows to store several configurations on a disk,
that can be retrieved in a few seconds into the sensor. One can
therefore define different shapes according to different situations and transmit them into the sensor whenever needed.
Once the settings are downloaded into the sensor, it is a
standalone device that will keep all zone definitions and parameters in a permanent memory, even if the power is cut. Access
to this memory and to zone definition is protected by a password. The program also has other features: real time profile
measurement, sensor simulation to get familiar with it, surveillance of the zones with intrusion time display.

Self-check
A fixed test target is mounted on top of the housing to ensure
the beam self-check: this takes away 60° off the scanning angle
to perform various checks: contamination of the lens, accuracy
of the distance measurements, status of the beam...
An external test target possibility ensures the correct positioning of the sensor and guarantees the safety if its position is
changed since the definition of the zones depend on the position of the sensor. The rotating head is self-cleaning and therefore is much less sensitive to pollution as other fixed-window
devices. The internal angular coder is controlled by a “surveillance circuitry”, as are the relays.

Installation
The FF-SE can be installed in various configurations. It does
not need any receiver nor separated reflector. When mounted
horizontally, it replaces light curtains or safety mats by offering
a better coverage and an increased flexibility. Its small size
allows installations in most of existing sites. The laser beam is
an invisible Class 1 laser, therefore it is not harmful and does
not disturb workers. A unique connector links the sensor to the
power supply and the devices connected to the 3 output relays
(alarm, safe 1 and safe 2), making connections with the sensor
very easy.

Scanning range
10 m / 32.8 ft
For AGVs
Weight and speed of AGVs in industrial environments can represent a certain danger for the workforce. The FF-SE can be
installed on these AGVs to ensure people safety: due to its long
range, it can stop the AGV before the obstacle, even if its speed
is high.
The two distinct zones can be used in an elegant way:
The alarm zone, with its 10 m / 32.8 ft range, acts as a slowing
down system: if something is detected in the zone, the AGV will
slow down and emit a warning signal to make the way free
again.
The safety zone, with its 6 m / 19.7 ft range, acts as an emergency stop: the AGV will immediately be stopped when an object is detected in this zone.
Knowing the AGV stopping distance and the response time of
the safety chain, it is possible to calculate the limits of these
zones optimally.
