The person-in-charge is responsible for the compliance with the local safety requirements, standards,
rules and regulations, laws of respective nations, states or districts when SE2L is used in a safety-related
system.
SE2L has been manufactured and shipped under the strict quality control. If you find any defect in the
product contact the nearest distributor or sales representative.
IDEC cannot be held responsible for the damages or failure due to misuse of the product.
User should prepare test pieces for detection capability verification. The test piece should emulate the
smallest object that is intended to be detected during the operation.
Maximum level of homogeneous pollution for SE2L to operate normally is under 30%. SE2L will
report error if the pollution exceeds the stated limit. Always keep the optical window in clean condition
to avoid the error.
Before resetting the interlock of SE2L, user must ensure the surrounding is safe especially the protected
area.
Apply sufficient measures to ensure safety of the protected area when decommissioning SE2L.
Protective materials such as guards or light curtain should be used to prevent the passage to the
hazardous area.
SE2L including its accessories are subject to change without prior notice for the improvement.

will be degraded. Injury may also be caused.
2.2 Operating environment
Make sure that SE2L’s operating environment is within the stated specification (temperature, humidity,
vibration, ambient light, etc.)
Do not use or mount SE2L near devices that could generate strong electromagnetic waves as it could
affectthe operation of SE2L.
Do not use or mount SE2L in dusty, smoky, or misty environments, or where corrosive substances are
present. Operating under such environments may decrease the detection capacity of SE2L.
This product is for indoor use only.
2.3 Installation of SE2L
Install SE2L on a firm surface or structure to avoid displacement. Also, do not step on or hung on SE2L
after installation.
SE2L should be firmly mounted using the screws (recommended torque for screws is3N・m). Shock
and vibration should not loosen the mounting. Detection may fail if actual protection zone differs from
the intended zone due to displacement of SE2L.
Safety distance should be determined before installing SE2L. User must verify the function of SE2L
after installation by placing a test piece at all the positions of protection zone (refer to chapter 4 for the
details on the safety distance calculation for various applications).
When installing the SE2L, protective materials such as guards or light curtain should be used to prevent
any passage into the hazardous area.
Reset switch used for interlock, muting and override function should be mounted at a location away
from the protection zone.
Mutual interference can occur when identical SE2Ls are mounted at the same detection plane. Refer to
chapter 5 for countermeasures to avoid mutual interference.
SE2L should be mounted at the location which has sufficient space for maintenance.
Do not add any protective materials such as, glass and transparent cover, in front of the optical window.
This could lead to loss of detection capability of the SE2L.
Minimum detectable width varies with the distance. Refer to chapter 10 for details.
2.4 Wiring
Switch off all the power supplies during wiring.
When a converter is used for supplying the power, make sure it fulfills the following requirements.
A rated output voltage within the range of 24V DC ±10% (SELV circuit, Category II).
Reinforced insulation or double insulation for the primary and secondary circuit.
Holding time of the output should be above 20ms.

Page 12
regulations (EMC) of the respective country, state and district.
All the input/output signal cables should be installed away from machines power lines and high-
voltage cables.
Use the OSSD signal of SE2L to control safety-related machines or control system. Do not use warning
signals to control safety related machine as these are non safety signals.
Both the OSSD1 and OSSD2 outputs should be connected to the safety-related machines or control
system. If OSSD3 and OSSD4 are used they must be connected in the same manner.
Use shield cable for the connection between OSSD signals and safety-related machines or systems.
2.5 Configuration
Configuration of safety functions are password protected. Only authorized users with password are
allowed to configure SE2L.
SE2L does not operate without initial configuration.
Pre-operation tests should be performed to verify the configurations before operating the SE2L.
Increasing the response time of OSSD will increase the stability of SE2L. However, this will reduce the
detection capability towards moving objects. User must perform risk assessment before using this
function.
Changes made during the configuration must be recorded and saved. Use the report function in the SLS
Project Designer for this purpose. (

Figure 3-4 Scanning range
Figure 3-4 shows the scanning range of SE2L. Protection zone and warning zonesare configured using
the SLS Project Designer application software. Any object or human beings entering the protection zone will
lead the OSSD signal to change from ON-state to OFF-state. Similarly, an object detected in the warning
zones will lead the warning signals to change to OFF-state.
Distance to the object is measured using the Time of Flight (TOF) principle. Pulsed laser beams are
radiated into the scanning range of 270º by the rotating motor. These pulsed laser beams are reflected back
by objects inside the scanning range. The duration of reflected beams are used for distance calculation as
shown below:

3.4 Scanning area
Scanning area of SE2L consists of protection zone and warning zones. Maximum 32 sets of area can be
configured. Further, two combinations for protection and warning zones can be selected for the operation.
Combination 1: Protection zone, Warning zone 1 and Warning zone 2
Combination 2: 2Protection zones (Dual Protection)
In dual protection mode, two protection areas can be configured but it is not possible to configure the
warning zones Protection and warning zones can be configured by using SLS Project Designer. Refer to
Chapter 7 for configuration details.
3.4.1 Protection zone
Protection zone is safety-critical and directly connected to the OSSD signal. When an obstacle is
detected in the protection zone, SE2L will switch the OSSD to OFF-state(whichshould trigger a switch to
stop a machine or AGV). For mobile applications, the OSSD signal can be used as the emergency stop signal.
Figure 3-6 and 3-7 show the examples of protection zone configured using manual mode and teaching mode
respectively. User can configure these zones accordingly to ensure hazardous area is completely protected.

In dual protection mode, two protection zones can be configured independently. SE2L will monitor these
zones simultaneously. OSSD1 and OSSD2 are dedicated to protection zone1 and OSSD3 and OSSD4 are
dedicated to protection zone2.
Figure 3-8 shows an example of the dual protection zone configuration.Warning zones cannot be
configured in dual protection mode.

3.4.2 Warning zone
Warning zones are non-safety zones and are connected to Warning1 and Warning2 outputs. When the
obstacle is detected in the warning zones, SE2L will switch the respective warning signal from ON-state to
OFF-state.
Warning signals can be used as an alert signal to avoid human beings or objects from approaching near
the protection zone. For mobile applications, warning signals can be used for reducing the speed of
automatic guided vehicle (AGV) to avoid collision. Figure 3-9 shows an example of warning zone
configuration.

3.5 Area switching
A maximum of 32 sets of area can be configured in SE2L. However the maximum configurable area
number differs depending on the selected function such as, muting and dual protection. Table 3-1 shows the
maximum configurable area number according to the used mode.
External input signals are provided in SE2L for switching the area. Each signal has a pair of normal and
inverted signal. For example, it is necessary to provide both input signal IN_A and inverse IN_A signal to
switch the area. Error will occur if IN_A and inverse IN_A signals do not complement each other. Table 3-2
below shows the combination of input signal to switch the area. Area in use will be displayed in the 7
segment LED of SE2L.
It is also possible to configure area input delay. Configure the necessary delay required for the system to
provide stable input signals to SE2L. The default value is 30ms.
There are maximum 5 input pairs (a pair is combination of normal and inverted signal) in SE2L therefore,
it can operate with maximum 32 sets of area. Further, it is also possible to switch the area through the speed
monitoring of increment encoder signal connected to SE2L (

3.6 Incremental encoder
In SE2L there are 2 pairs of encoder input terminals for connecting 2 units of dual channel incremental
encoder signals. Area will be switched depending on the encoder speed. Direction of travel is detected by
encoder's phase A and phase B signals having the phase difference of 90°. Speed and rotating direction of
both encoders are constantly monitored to detect abnormal travel and stop the AGV.
Incremental encoder output signals should be connected to the respective input terminals of SE2L. There
are two patterns of signals generated by the combination of Phase A and Phase B of encoders depending on
the direction of travel (Figure 3-10). In the first pattern, Phase B is 90 degrees ahead of Phase A wherein, at
the rising edge of Phase A, state of Phase B is “H”. This pattern is considered as positive direction (forward
motion). In the second pattern, Phase B lags behind Phase A by 90 degrees and the state of Phase B at the
rising edge of Phase A is “L”. This is considered as negative direction (backward motion).
Figure 3-10 Input signal through Incremental encoder
SE2L User’s Manual (SE9Z-B1865)

Page 26
3.6.1 Pulse per cm travel generated by incremental encoders
When AGV travels, increment encoder generates pulses due to the transmission ratio between AVG tires
and increment encoder frictional wheel. Pulse count per cm depends on AGV's speed.
Figure 3-11 Calculation of pulse count for per centimeter travel
AGV tire diameter : 40 cm
Frictional wheel diameter mounted in increment encoder: 5 cm
Increment encoder pulse number per revolution : 1000 pulse
AGV tire circumference = Diameter × Circumference ratio = 40 cm × 3.14 = 125.6 cm
AGV tire's one rotation is equivalent to 8 rotation of frictional wheel. This equals to the 8,000 pulse of
increment encoder.
From above, increment encoder pulse count per cm is obtained as
8,000/125.6 = 63.7
While setting encoder parameters (Encoder Pulse1 and Encoder Pulse2) in SLS Project Designer, set the
encoder pulse count after rounding the calculated value to nearest whole number (64 in this case).
In the explanation above, the transfer method of the rotation was based on the frictional wheel. Same
method can be applied for other cases to estimate the pulse count generated for one rotation of the wheel.
SE2L User’s Manual (SE9Z-B1865)

Page 27
f
User should verify the proper area switching through encoder inputs.
Always use 2 units of increment encoder. It is not possible to detect the failure o
increment encoder or abnormal travel of the vehicle with single unit.
Use separate sets of cable to connect outputs from incremental encoder 1 and 2 to the
respective encoder input terminals of SE2L.
Separate the power supply cables and power source of each incremental encoder.
Output pairs of encoder connection should match the input pair of SE2L.
Do not wire other power lines parallel to encoder and SE2L or wire in the same duct.
There is a possibility of noise disturbance.
3.6.2 Recommend increment encoder specification
・ Phase setting 90° dual channel rotary encoder
・ Power supply: 24V DC
・ Output : Complementary output
・ Protective class : IP 54 or more
・ Output cable : Twist pair/ shield cable
・ Maximum pulse frequency : 100 kHz
・ Minimum pulse frequency : 50 pulse / cm
3.6.3 Tolerances allowed for encoder
When AGV travels in a forward direction, speed input through the two increment encoder will be same as
the original pulse frequency. However, there are cases when two speed input values may differ, such as while
cornering and due to AGV tire exhaustion. Thedifference between two input speeds should not exceed the
error tolerance for more than a fixed period of time. Set the error tolerance in the range of 0 to 45%.
Of the two speeds, the larger value will be considered for vehicles speed calculation. When permitted error
tolerance exceeds the fixed period OSSD will go to OFF state. Tolerance period differs according to the
vehicle speed as shown in table 3-3.

3.6.4 Area switching by encoder input
When encoder setting is enabled, four patterns can be selected from two available external inputs. For
each pattern, select either to use as static input or the encoder input or not in use. It is necessary to select at
least one pattern for encoder input.
For encoder input pattern maximum 32 sets of area switching can be performed for the range of speed.
Encoder setting is enabled by the SLS Project Designer, as shown in Figure 3-12. For using the SLS Project
Designer refer to chapter 7.
Set the error tolerance and encoder pulse count for per cm travel.
The minimum and maximum speed is automatically calculated from the pulse count and maximum pulse
frequency (100 kHz). Next, select the input patterns to use as static input or for the encoder input or not used.
Figure 3-12 shows an example of encoder input setting. In this example, pattern 1 and pattern 2 are used as
static input, pattern 3 is used as encoder input and pattern 4 is not used.
Figure 3-12 Example of pattern switching through encoder input
Next, divide the speed into number of ranges and specify the area number for each range. An example is
shown below (maximum 32 sets of area can be set). Same area cannot be specified for different speed within
a pattern. However it is possible to select same area for a different pattern.
Figure 3-13(a) shows the example of encoder input setting.
In this example, speed is divided into 4 ranges and each speed range is assigned Area 3 to Area 6.

monitoring monitors the speed of the encoder and if it exceeds the limit OSSD will be switched to OFF state.
Figure 3-13(b) shows the example of static input setting. In this example, Area1 is assigned to the input
pattern and speed monitoring is enabled with the monitoring speed range -20 to 500cm/sec.

3.7 OSSD
OSSD is safety-related signal. When humans or objects are detected in the protection zone, the OSSD
signal will switch to OFF state from ON-state.OSSD signal has the self- diagnostic function which tests the
signal periodically by switching it to OFF state for a brief period. Signal is continuously switched to
OFF-state when an error is detected during the diagnostic.
Output states of OSSD1 and OSSD2 signal are identical. Both signals should be connected to the safety
related machines or control system to fulfill the required safety level. If OSSD3 and OSSD4 are used they
must be connected in the same manner.
OSSD is a safety related signal and should be connected directly to the relay o
device that switches the machine or vehicle under control.
Both the OSSD1 and OSSD2 outputs should be connected to the safety related
machines or control system. If OSSD3 and OSSD4 are used they must be connecte
similarly.
Sufficient time for the machine or vehicle must be allocated to stop when configuring
the response time of OSSD.
User must verify the configuration before actual operation.
When OSSD is at ON state, the signal is24V and the signal is 0V during OFF state.

3.7.1 Self-diagnostic function of OSSD
Self-diagnostic is a function to detect the malfunction in the output circuit by switching OFF the OSSD 1
to OSSD 4 for an interval of 300μs. Therefore, safety-relay or power converter used must not response to
this diagnostic function. Figure 3-14 below shows the timing chart of the self diagnostic function of the
OSSD during dual protection mode.
Figure 3-14 Timing chart of the OSSD’s self-diagnostic function
In single protection mode, self-diagnostic function is done for OSSD 1 and OSSD 2 only.
3.7.2 Lockout state
When an error is detected by the self-diagnostic function and SE2L cannot operate normally it will
switch to lockout state. During the lockout state, OSSD1/2, OSSD3/4, WARNING1, WARNING2 will
switch to OFF-state. After removing the error, SE2L can be reset by restoringthe power to release from the
lockout state.
3.7.3 Interlock function
Interlock is a function to prevent automatic restart of the OSSD signal switching from OFF-state to
ON-state. Automatic restart, manual restart and manual start interlock functions are configurable using the
SLS Project Designer.
SE2L User’s Manual (SE9Z-B1865)

Page 31
3.7.3.1 Automatic restart
SE2L will restart automatically when interlock function is disabled or only the start interlock function is
enabled. When obstacle from the protection zone is removed, OSSD signals switch from OFF-state to
ON-state automatically. OSSD response times for ON and OFF states are configurable (See section 3.12).
However, if SE2L is in the lockout state due to error,OSSDs will remain in OFF-state even if the interlock
function is disabled.
Figure 3-15 Timing chart of automatic restart
In automatic restart configuration OSSD will automatically switch to ON state after
the object is removed. Confirm the safety while removing the object.
Configured response time should be sufficient for the machine or AGV to stop safely.
SE2L User’s Manual (SE9Z-B1865)

Page 32
3.7.3.2 Manual restart (Interlock enabled)
SE2L operates in manual restart mode when interlock function is set to manual mode. The OSSD signal
switches from ON-state to OFF-state, if SE2L detects any obstacle within the protection zone or detects any
system error. In this mode, even if the detected obstacles or system error is removed, OSSD signals will
remain in OFF-state. An external reset input signal is required to release the interlock which allows the SE2L
toswitchto normal operation.
SE2L will resume normal operation only after confirming the reset signal (RESET). The duration of the
reset signal should be more than 500ms. Figure 3-16 shows the timing chart of the manual restart. After reset
signal is confirmed, the OSSD signal will switch to ON-state after the lapse of the configured delay time. If
OSSD's OFF-state is due to an internal fault, it will remain in OFF-stateeven when reset signal is provided.
Reset delay is configurable in the range of 1s to 6s.
Figure 3-16 Timing chart of manual restart
User should verify that the detected obstacle is safely removed before resetting the
SE2L.
If restart interlock function is used to restart the machine, the reset switch should be
mounted away from the protection zone.
Falling to comply with the above could lead to critical injury or death.
Even after the object is removed from the protection zone, if the OSSD still
remains in OFF-state, check the error code and suggested solution (Refer to
Chapter 9).
Duration of reset input should not exceed 30s; otherwise it will be detected as
hardware malfunction.

3.7.3.3 Manual start (Interlock enabled)
Start interlock is a function which keeps the OSSD in OFF-state during the start-up until an external
reset input is applied. Start interlock setting has only manual mode. The RES_REQ signal switches to
ON-state after the SE2L completes initial routines and ready to accept the RESET input. When RESET input
is applied, OSSD will switch to ON state if no object is detected in the protection zone. The duration of the
reset input should be more than 500ms. Figure 3-17 shows the sequence of start interlock. Delay can be
configured in the range of 1s to 6s.
Figure 3-17 Manual start sequence
3.8 External device monitoring (EDM) function
EDM is a function that monitors the state of the input signal from the controlled machine or automated
guided vehicle (AGV). EDM is configured using the SLS Project Designer. When EDM function is enabled,
any fault detected in EDM signal will switch the OSSD signal to OFF-state. Logic of EDM signal should be
always inverse of the OSSD signal. EDM input signal ON/OFF delay is configurable to match the user’s
system. Figure 3-18 and 3-19 below shows the EDM circuit and EDM timing chart respectively.

3.9 Muting function
Muting function temporarily suspends the safety function in the configured zone of SE2L when the
specified conditions are fulfilled. In the muting state OSSD remains in the ON-state even when an object is
detected in the configured muting zone. Two independent hard wired input signals are provided to start and
end the muting function. Muting zone is configured using the SLS Project Designer (Refer to section 7.9.1).
When muting inputsfulfill the muting start conditions, SE2L will suspend the safety function within 60ms
and resume the safety function if they fulfill the muting stop conditions.
3.9.1 Muting start condition
Muting function will start when the following conditions are fulfilled:
a) There are no objects in the protection zone and the OSSD is in ON-state.
b) The two independent hard wired muting input signals are switched to ON state in the predefined
sequence within the pre-set time interval. However, the switching interval between two input signals
should not be 0 (Refer to figure 3-20).
The following configurations are necessary for the muting function. User can configure these by using the
SLS Project Designer.
Muting inputs sequence
▶ Muting 1 Muting 2
▶ Muting 2 Muting 1
Time interval between two inputs (T1)
▶ 1second
▶ 3seconds
▶ 5seconds
▶ 10seconds
When using muting function in dual protection mode, Muting 3 and Muting 4 are configured in the similar
way.

3.9.3 Muting override function
Muting override is a function to recover SE2L when the OSSD is switched to OFF state due to muting
related errors by temporarily suspending the safety function. Override function is active when the override
input (OVERRIDE 1/2) and the reset input (RESET 1/2) are switched in a sequence. Figure 3-21 shows the
override sequence.
Override start conditions
▶ At leastone of the muting inputs is in ON-state.
▶ Object is present in the protection zone.
▶ Time interval between override input and reset input is within 0.03s to 1s (T3).
Override stop conditions
▶ Both muting inputs are in OFF-state.
▶ Override input or reset input is in OFF-state.
▶ When predefined maximum override time T4 exceeds.
▶ Error is detected by self-diagnostic function of the SE2L.
▶ During override state when area is switched to the other area.
Maximum override period (T4)
Maximum override period can be selected from one of these values
▶ 1 minute
▶ 6 minutes
▶ 12 minutes

Page 37
When using muting override in dual protection mode, Muting 3, Muting 4, Override input 2 and Reset
input 2 are configured in the similar way.
When muting function is enabled, user must ensure the safety of the protection zone.
Before using the muting function, user must perform risk assessment.
A qualified person should configure the appropriate muting period according to the
requirement of the application. It is the user’s responsibility to properly perform the risk
assessment when configuring muting period to unlimited.
Failing to comply with the above could lead to critical injury or death.
3.10 Reference monitoring function
Reference monitoring is a function to monitor the displacement of the SE2L or the structure used as
reference boundary.
3.10.1 Area protection
An example of reference monitor function used for area protection is shown in figure 3-22. If reference
segments are configured on moveable objects (example: door) the OSSD will switch to OFF-state when the
door position is changed.

3.10.2 Access protection
An example of reference monitor functionused for access protectionis shown in figure 3-23(a), (b).
Reference segments should be configured on each surface for displacement detection. Reference segments
should be configured such that displacement can beeasily detected. The OSSD will switch to OFF-state
when access penetration is detected, and also if the distance between SE2L and the reference structure
changes. This function is compulsory for vertical applications.

3.11 Area sequence function
Area sequence is a function to monitor sequences of area switching. When this function is activated,
OSSD signal will switch to OFF-state if the switching pattern is other than the configured sequence. This
function prevents the machine to operate with random protection zone.
From each area, switching selection to maximum 31 other areas is possible when configuring the area
sequence. And, it is necessary to specify 1 or more areas to avoid error.
<Area switching sequence>
When area sequence is disabled, SE2L can switch from an area to any other areas (Figure 3-24 (a) whereas
it can only switch to specifiedareas if area sequence is enabled. (Figure 3-24 (b)).
Area sequence function is recommended for control systems where switching area sequences can be
configured.
Figure 3-24 (a) Operation without area sequence Figure 3-24 (b) Operation with area sequence
3.12 Response time
Response times of OSSD signal (Figure 3-25),OFF response time (Default 60ms) and ON response
time (Default 270ms) are configurable individually for each area using the SLS Project Designer. Response
time of the Warning 1 and Warning 2 will be same as the OSSD response time. Table 3-4 shows the possible
configurable values. In the dual protection mode, it is possible to set a separate response time for each
protection area.
When longer response time is configured, the stability of SE2L can be increased. However, longer
response time requires longer safety distance. (Refer to chapter 4). User must perform risk assessment before
configuring the response time. Addition of maximum 1 cycle (30ms) has to be taken into account for the area
switching.

Configuration generated by SLS Project Designer can be saved in the SD card. It is possible to transfer
the setting directly from the SD Card to SE2L without connecting to a PC. “SD card” in this manual
indicates Micro SD/SDHC card. Recommended specification of Micro SD/SDHC card is given below.
Create a project file with set the serial number and password of the SE2L and save it on the SD card
using SLS Project Designer. When the SD card is inserted to the specified SE2L, settings are automatically
transferred. It is possible to register multiple serial number and password in the SD card to simultaneously
configure multiple devices. Setting will not be transferred to the unspecified SE2L or if the password
verification fails.
Specification of Micro SD/SDHC card
Capacity: 16GB or less
3.17 Master-Slave Function
Maximum 4 units of SE2L can be interconnected using RS-485 for Master/slave operation. One unit will
function as a master unit communicating with up to 3 units that function as slaves via safety communication
channel. Use the SLS Project Designer to configure the devices. SE2L will report error if the number of
master and slave units is different than the configured settings.
Area switching of the slave unit is linked with the master unit while the slave units transmit the object
detection information to the master which controls the OSSD. It is also possible to use each slave unit’s
OSSD. Figure 3-28 shows the connection example.

4. Application examples of SE2L
The section describes some application examples of SE2L and safety distance calculation in the
respective application. When using the SE2L as protective equipment, guidelines below should be taken into
account.
Hazard should be identified and risk assessment should be carried out.
SE2L should not be used for finger protection.
Working environment should be within the specification of SE2L.
Safety distance must be determined in accordance to ISO 13855 and IEC 61496-3.
Operating the SE2L beyond its specification could lead to critical injury and death.
4.1 Access protection (Horizontal application Stationary Protection zone 1)
In this kind of application, SE2L is mounted horizontally to protect the hazardous area (Figure 4-1).
The protection zone is configured around the hazardous area to prevent the entry of human beings or object.
Warning zone 1 and Warning zone 2 are configured surrounding the protection zone. Warning zones are used
for alerting human beings or object from approaching the protection zone and preventing unnecessary stops
of the protected machine. Any objects or human beings detected in the protection zone will cause the OSSD
signal to switch to OFF-state from ON-state. Any objects and/or human beings detected in the warning zones
will cause the warning signal to switch from ON-state to OFF-state. The safety distance for this application
is shown in figure 4-2 and 4-3.

User must ensure the distance between the hazard zone edge and origin of the
protection zone “a” must be less than the minimum detectable width. In application
where the value of “a” is greater than the minimum detectable width, additional
protective measures should be taken to prevent penetration through this unprotecte
area.
SE2L should not be mounted higher than 300 mm to prevent the possibility o
crawling beneath the detection plane.
For applications which require the SE2L to be mounted higher than 300 mm,
additional measures should be taken to prevent intrusion beneath the detection plane.
If SE2L is mounted in a public area, the height of the detection plane should be
reduced to 200 mm or to the height required by regulations of the local authority.

It is recommended to markthe floor of the protection zone.
Distance tolerance should be taken into account when configuring the safety distance.
Additional tolerance should be applied whenSE2L is used in the presence of high
reflective background.
User should ensure that boundary or protective measures used are not included inside the
protected zone. They will be detected as obstacles causing the OSSD to remain in
OFF-state.
User should ensure the gap of 100mm between theprotection zone and the distance o

4.2 Access protection (Stationary Horizontal application with Dual
Protection zone)
In this kind of application, SE2L is mounted horizontally to simultaneously protect two hazardous areas
(Figure 4-4). Protection zones are configured around the hazardous area to prevent the entry of human
beings or object. Warning zone cannot be configuration in dual protection mode. Any objects or human
beings detected in the protection zones will switch the respective OSSD signal to OFF state from ON-state.
In this configuration it is possible to protect two equipments using a single SE2L.
The safety distance for this application is shown in figure 4-1.
Protection zone 1
Protection zone 2
Figure 4-4 Example Horizontal application of access protection (Dual protection zone)
4.3 Access protection (Vertical application- whole body detection)
SE2L can be used as a protective shield by mounting it vertically (Figure 4-5). Application shown in the
figure is generally used in preventing the access to hazardous area. When an object or human enter the
passage, OSSD signal will switch from ON-state to OFF-state.
In this configuration, SE2L detects objects or human beings in vertical plane. It is not possible to detect an
object or human being at the front or back side of the detection plane. Therefore, caution should be taken
while setting the distance between the detection plane and hazardous area. Configure the shortest response
time of SE2L not exceeding 90ms, Always use reference monitoring function in such applications to detect
the displacement of fences and SE2L which may expose the hazardous area. OSSD signal will switch to OFF
state when the position of reference is changed. The safety distance for this application is shown in figure
4-6 and 4-7.

User should ensure that the width of unprotectedzone “a” is smaller than the
minimum detectable width. If the value of “a” is greater than minimum detectable
width, additional protective measures should be taken to prevent the penetration
through this unprotected zone.
In the access protection application where the angle of approach exceeds ±30º,
“Reference monitoring” function should be used with 100mm tolerance range for the
reference zone. Response time should be configured below 90ms in such application.
Reference segments should be configured on each sides of reference boundary.
SE2L should be mounted in such a way that accessibility towards hazardous point is
impossible. Use additional protective measures if necessary.
Tolerance should be taken in account when configuring the reference segments.
If minimum detectable width is configured as 30mm, value for C can be replaced
Figure 4-8 shows an example to prevent the access when part of the body is approached near the
hazardous area. If objects or part of body enters such area, OSSD signal switches to OFF state from ON-state.
SE2L detects an object or human being in vertical plane in such configuration. It is not possible to detect an
object or human being at the front or back side of the detection plane. Therefore, caution should be taken
while deciding the distance between approaching point and hazardous area. The width of protection zone
should be sufficient to protect the hazardous area. Always use reference monitor function in such
applications to detect the displacement of fences and SE2L which may expose the hazardous area. OSSD
signal will switch to OFF state when the position of reference is changed. The safety distance for this
application is shown in figure 4-8 and 4-9. Refer to section 7.15 for configuring the protection zone.

When using the SE2L on an AGV, user should confirm the time and distance required for the AGV to
stop completely as it will move forward during the response time of SE2L. It is important to note that
distance required to stop is not proportional to the speed, but proportional to the square of the speed.
Further, sufficient ground clearance should be provided to prevent injuries, such as, hitting the toes.

Detection plane should not be inclined as this could lead to the failure of SE2L to
detect an object with a diameter of 200mm.
User should ensure that boundary or protective measures used are not inside the
configured protected zone. It will be detected as obstacles causing the OSSD to
remain in OFF-state.

For AGVs travelling in both directions, it is possible to use 2 interconnected units of SE2L, each
mounted at front and back. Safety can be improved by switching each unit to monitor the area with
appropriate size and shape based on the speed and direction of travel. Further it is also possible to use
increment encoder in such systems for area switching.

4.10 Area protection (Mobile, Horizontal, Autonomous Navigation)
SE2L monitors both protection and warning zones and simultaneously transfers the measured data of the
surrounding through the Ethernet to the main control unit of AGV. Supplied data can be used for autonomous
route selection. For such systems, there is no need to install guidance means such as optical beacons or
electromagnetictapes on the floor. For the Ethernet communication specification of SE2L, contact the
nearest distributor or sales representative.

5. Installation
Cautions during the installation of SE2L are explained in this chapter.
5.1 Light interference
SE2L uses pulsed laser for object detection. Light sourcesin the surroundingcould interfere with its
operation leading to false detection. User should examine the surroundings environments before installing
the SE2L. Some of the light sources that could interfere with SE2L are as below.
Incandescent light
Fluorescent light
Stroboscopic light
Flashing beacon
Sunlight
Infrared light sources
In case the light source cannot be avoided during the operation, SE2L should be installed with the light
source located at ±5 degrees or more from the detection plane to prevent the interference (Figure 5-1).
Figure 5-1 Installation to avoid light interference
User should perform risk assessment for light interference in the working
environment before the installation.
Avoid direct light such as stroboscopic, flashing beacon, fluorescent.
Failing to comply with the above could lead to critical injury or death.
User should verify detection capability before actual operation.
SE2L User’s Manual (SE9Z-B1865)

5.2 Mutual interference
Cautions are required while using two or more units of SE2L or identical products as pulsed laser signal
from one another could lead to false detection. Figures below show the installation method for avoiding the
mutual interference.
a) Changing the height of installation
Install at different heights to separate the mutual detection plane by 5 degrees or more.
Figure 5-2 Opposite facing installation
Figure 5-3 Parallel installation
SE2L User’s Manual (SE9Z-B1865)
61
Page 63
b) Changing the angle of installation
Change the installation angle of SE2L by 5 degrees or more from the mutual detection plane.
Figure 5-4 Opposite facing installation
Figure 5-5 Parallel installation
C) Adding a shield between SE2Ls
Add a shield between SE2Ls such that laser beam of one unit cannot reach the other to avoid the possible
mutual interference.

Shielding material should be opaque.
5.3 High reflective background
Measured value will be longer than the actual distance of the object due to high reflective background
leading to wrong OSSD output. When high reflective background cannot be avoided in the working
environment, additional distance of 200mm is necessary while configuring the protection and warning zones
(Figure 5-8). Refer to SE2L’s specification for the required distance tolerance.
