3.1.1
Protective function of RSL400 safety sensors
The safety sensor transmits periodic light pulses via a rotating deflection unit. The light pulses are scattered
in all directions by obstacles, e.g. persons. A part of the light pulses is received again by the safety sensor
and evaluated. The safety sensor calculates the precise position of the object from the propagation time of
the radiated light and the current angle of the deflection unit at that time. If the object is within a predefined
area, the protective field, the safety sensor performs a safety-related switching function. It switches the
safety-related switching outputs off.
Leuze electronicRSL 44014
Device description
Only when the protective field is free again does the safety sensor reset the safety-related switching function, either automatically or following acknowledgment, depending on the operating mode.
The safety sensor can even detect people when they are wearing very dark clothes, which have a very
weak diffuse reflectance.
3.1.2
Parameters for protective function
The following parameters for switching off the safety-related switching outputs of the safety sensor are
taken into consideration for the protective function:
• Configurable protective fields
• Reference contour of protective fields
• Configurable field pair changeover
• Selectable resolution for hand, leg or body detection
• Safety sensor response time
• Selectable start-up behavior

• Configurable warning fields
• Configurable indication signals
Additional functions of the protective function
• Warning field evaluation
• Selectable dynamic contactor monitoring (EDM)
• E-Stop
Two protective functions function mode
• The safety sensor can be configured for two independent protective functions.
• If the safety sensor is configured for one protective function, an internal safe time delay can be selected
for switch-off of the second OSSD pair.
3.1.3

For error diagnostics, the error's respective letter is displayed first followed by the number code. An AutoReset is carried out after 10 seconds for errors that do not cause locking, with an unauthorized restart being impossible. In the case of blocking errors, the voltage supply must be separated and the cause of the
error must be eliminated. Before switching on again, the steps taken before initial commissioning must be
repeated (see chapter 10 "Starting up the device").
When the protective field has been free for about 5 seconds, the device switches back to the display in normal operation.

Leuze electronicRSL 44038
5.7Field pair changeover
The safety sensor has 10x ten field pairs or 100 field pairs. Switchover between the field pairs is possible at
all times, provided the operating situation allows this.
The information for field pair changeover applies both for the field pairs of protective functionA and for
the field pairs of protective functionB.
Use the field pair changeover when the danger zones vary depending on the activity of the machine or the
operating state, e.g. driverless transportation system (DTSs), to control the field pair changeover for
straight and curved stretches.
If the rules for field pair changeover are not complied with, the safety sensor signals a fault and the safetyrelated switching outputs are switched off.
The safety sensor has the following modes for field pair activation and field pair changeover:
• Fixed selection of one field pair
• Selection by signal inputs with the changeover mode Overlapped monitoring
• Selection by signal inputs with the changeover mode Fixed changeover moment
Field pair activation and field pair changeover are configured via the protective function, e.g. CONFIGURA-
TION > Protective functionA > MODE FOR FIELD PAIR ACTIVATION AND CHANGEOVER.
The field pair changeover can be monitored by means of configurable measures (see chapter 5.8 "Monitoring of field pair changeover").
During the changeover process, the safety sensor monitors the field pair active before the field pair
changeover, according to the configured changeover mode and changeover time.
Functions
5.7.1
Using field pair changeover
You can configure and switch over the field pairs according to the different requirements. The field pairs are
changed over via the corresponding control inputs.
The rules for field pair changeover depend on the changeover mode and changeover time. The activated
field pair must correspond with the respective operating mode. The time of the field pair changeover must
correspond with the machine's risk assessment. You must take the lead time, braking distances, response
times and machine stopping times, e.g. influenced by overlapping protective fields, into account.
If the rules are not observed, the safety-related switching outputs switch off and a message is displayed
(see chapter 12 "Diagnostics and troubleshooting").
The following rules apply for the field pair changeover:
• The field pair changeover performed by the control system must agree with the safety sensor's configuration. This configuration is specified with the configuration and diagnostics software (see chapter 9.4
"Configuring protective function").
• With field pair changeover to an occupied protective field, the safety sensor only switches off the
safety-related switching outputs after the set response time plus a synchronization time of 40ms.
NOTICE
Take the lead time into consideration!
Ä Take the lead time of the changeover time and response time into consideration before op-
erating the machine in its new operating situation.
Fixed selection of one field pair
If Fixed selection of one field pair is set as the mode for field pair activation, field pair A1.1 is monitored
irrespective of how the control inputs are connected.

Changeover of five field pairs in changeover mode Overlapped monitoring
Changeover mode Overlapped monitoring: This changeover mode is only permitted for up to five field
pairs.
The field pair changeover must take place within a configurable time period of the changeover time. Two
field pairs can be monitored simultaneously during the changeover time.
• First the control unit must switch to a new field pair before it switches off the previously active one.
• A maximum of two field pairs are active.
Each field pair is then only active if it is selected by the control unit.
• The changeover time starts when the second field pair is connected. When the changeover time has
expired, only one field pair should still be active.
• The changeover time is specified with the configuration and diagnostics software (see chapter 9.4.4
"Creating and configuring protective/warning field pairs").

5.8Monitoring of field pair changeover
The Changeover order function determines the permissible field pair changeovers, e.g. if field pair A1.3
must be changed over to field pair A2.5. If the Changeover order function is active, the safety-related
switching outputs (OSSDs) switch off in the following cases:
Leuze electronicRSL 44043
• the control initiates an impermissible field pair changeover.
• the field pair to which the system is changed over has been deactivated.
Activating the function
Ä The Changeover order is defined using the configuration and diagnostics software (see chapter 9.5
"Defining permissible field pair changeovers").
5.9Reference contour monitoring
The reference contour monitoring function prevents unintentional misalignment and deliberate manipulation
of the safety sensor. If a protective field contains an area with reference contour, the safety sensor not only
monitors interruptions of the protective field, it also monitors the concurrence of the measured area contour
with the set reference contour. If the measurement values of the area contour deviate from the defined reference contour by more than the tolerance zone of 200mm, i.e., if no object is detected in the area with
reference contour, the safety sensor switches off and the safety-related switching outputs (OSSDs) switch
to off.
Activation of the function
Ä Activate the Reference contour monitoring function together with the definition of the protective field
boundaries using the configuration and diagnostics software (see chapter 9.4.4 "Creating and configuring protective/warning field pairs").
5.10Field pair monitoring
The Field pair monitoring function is used to set the monitoring mode for the selected field pair.
The Standby request monitoring mode is used to switch off field pair monitoring and the safety-related
switching outputs (OSSDs). This is advisable when parking vehicles, for example.
Activation of the function
Ä Activate field pair monitoring in the configuration and diagnostics software (see chapter 9.4.5 "Configur-
ing field pair monitoring").
Functions
5.11Internal safe time delay
In the One protective function function mode, you can use the OSSDB safety-related switching outputs for
a second time-delayed switching function, e.g. for an emergency mechanism following controlled switch-off
via the OSSDA safety-related switching outputs.
NOTICE
If the protective function is required, restarting is not possible until the set delay time has expired.
Activation of the function
Ä Activate the internal safe time delay and the switch off delay time in the configuration and diagnostics
software (see chapter 9.4.3 "Activating protective function and contactor monitoring").
5.12EDM contactor monitoring
The EDM contactor monitoring function dynamically monitors the contactors, relays or valves connected
downstream of the safety sensor. Prerequisite for this are switching elements with positive-guided feedback
contacts (normally closed contacts).
Activation of the function
Ä Activate the contactor monitoring function using the configuration and diagnostics software (see chap-
ter 9.4 "Configuring protective function").
If contactor monitoring is activated, it operates dynamically, i.e., in addition to monitoring the closed feedback circuit every time before the OSSDs are switched on, it also checks whether the feedback circuit has
opened within 500ms after release and whether it has closed again within 500ms after the OSSDs
switched off. If this is not the case, the OSSDs return to the OFF state after being switched on briefly.
A message is displayed on the alphanumerical display and the safety sensor switches to the fault interlock
state:
• With the OSSDs switched off, +24V must be present at the EDM input.
• With the OSSDs switched on, the EDM circuit must be open (high impedance).
Leuze electronicRSL 44044
5.13E-Stop linkage
Through linkage, the behavior of the safety sensor can be controlled via a two-channel safety circuit.
The upstream safety devices and operational controls perform safety-relevant switch-off of the safety-related switching outputs of the safety sensor.
The following upstream sensors and operational controls are possible regarding the linkage:
• Safety device with two-channel contact-based switching output (normally closed contact), e.g. safety
switch, E-Stop rope switch, safety position switch and the like (see chapter 5.13.1 "Contact-based
safety circuit").
• Safety device with two-channel electronic OSSD switching output (see chapter 5.13.2 "Linkage of electronic safety-related switching outputs").
E-Stop buttons connected to the safety sensor act only on the safety circuit to which the AOPD is assigned.
Thus, it can be considered to be an area E-Stop. The regulations for E-Stops apply to it, including those in
accordance with EN60204-1 and ENISO13850, among others.
Ä In this case, observe the regulations for E-Stops.
If linkage is utilized, the response time of the linked device is extended by 20ms.
Ä Take the extended response time into account when calculating the safety distance.
NOTICE
Extended response time in combination with an internal safe switching delay!
If the E-Stop linkage is used in combination with the internal safe time delay (see chapter 5.11
"Internal safe time delay"), the response time of the delayed switch-off increases by up to
40ms.
Ä Take the extended response time of the delayed switch-off into account when configuring
the system.
Functions
5.13.1
Contact-based safety circuit
This function switches off the safety-related switching outputs of the safety sensor by means of an upstream 2-channel contact-based safety circuit, e.g. by means of safety switches with separate actuators.
The safety sensor only switches on if the following conditions have been fulfilled:
• The protective field is free.
• The safety circuit is closed or both contacts have been closed simultaneously within 0.5s.
Activation of the function
Ä Activate the linkage using the configuration and diagnostics software (see chapter 9.4.3 "Activating pro-
tective function and contactor monitoring").
Leuze electronicRSL 44045
Functions
5.13.2
Linkage of electronic safety-related switching outputs
This function is used to construct a serial connection of devices with electronic safety OSSD switching outputs. The OSSDs of an upstream safety device switch off the safety-related switching outputs of the safety
sensor as a central safety device. Regarding the downstream safety circuit, a linked system behaves like a
single device, i.e. only inputs are necessary in the downstream safety relay.
The following conditions have to be fulfilled for the OSSDs to switch on:
• The protective field must be free.
• The OSSDs of the upstream device must be switched on or have been switched on simultaneously
within 0.5s.
NOTICE
A contact-based safety sensor, e.g. a safety switch with two positive-guided normally closed
contacts, can be switched in the safety circuit when linking electronic safety-related switching
outputs.
Ä If this switch opens, it must close both circuits again simultaneously within a time tolerance
of 0.5s. A message will otherwise be displayed on the safety sensor.
Activation of the function
Ä Activate the linkage using the configuration and diagnostics software (see chapter 9.4.3 "Activating pro-
tective function and contactor monitoring").
5.14Signaling functions
The device and monitoring functions of the safety sensor deliver indication signals for the following function
groups:
• Protective functions, e.g.
• Protective field violated
• Warning field violated
• Field pair changeover active
• Device functions
• Error messages
• Warnings
• Diagnosis
The assignment of the individual functions within the function groups to the indication signals is defined using the configuration and diagnostics software (see chapter 9.6 "Configuring signal outputs").
For an overview of all logic and electrical signals of the safety sensor, see chapter 15.4 "Representation of
safety sensor status".

6.1Stationary danger zone guarding
Stationary danger zone guarding enables a very spacious protection of people on machines that are to remain as accessible as much as possible. The safety sensor is applied as a stop-activating and presencedetecting protective device. The safety sensor's protective field is set up horizontally in front of the machine
or system's point of operation.
You can also use the stationary danger zone guarding if you do have to guard areas under the machine or
at the rear that are not visible.
If the danger zone changes during operation, the respective danger zone is guarded by means of a field
pair changeover while the working area is accessible.

Guarding of two danger zones
The safety sensor allows two danger zones to be guarded simultaneously and independently. The dangerous machine or system parts (e.g. different movement areas of robots, telpher line) are actuated separately. If a protective field violation occurs, only the movement of the affected part of the system is stopped.
The protective function for each danger zone is defined separately using the configuration and diagnostics
software (see chapter 9.4 "Configuring protective function").

2Danger zone 1, protective function activated
3Danger zone 2, protective function deactivated
Fig.6.2: Stationary danger zone guarding for two danger zones
6.2Stationary point of operation guarding
Hand and arm protection are always required when people must work at the point of operation. The safety
sensor is applied as a stop-activating and presence-detecting protective device. The safety sensor's protective field is set up vertically in front of the machine or system's point of operation. In accordance with
ENISO13855, resolutions from 14to40mm make sense here. This yields the necessary safety distance
for finger protection, amongothers (see chapter 7.3 "Stationary point of operation guarding").

6.3Stationary access guarding

Stationary access guarding protects people that step into a danger zone. The vertically aligned protective
field of the safety sensor detects the passage of a person. A side post and the floor serve as reference contour for monitoring the position of the protective field. In contrast to danger zone guarding, the safety sensor no longer registers a person in the danger zone after the passage. This is why the start/restart interlock
function is vital for access guarding.

Mobile danger zone guarding protects people that are located in the transportation path of a driverless
transportation system (DTS). The distance between the protective field front edge and the vehicle front
must be greater than the stopping distance of the vehicle with selected speed and maximum load. A safe
control system selects speed-dependent protective fields and can activate side horizontal protective fields
for curved stretches.

Side-tracking skate guarding
Side-tracking skate guarding protects personnel who are located in the transportation path of a transverse
side-tracking skate (TSS). One safety sensor is mounted in each direction of travel. The safety sensor that
is mounted opposite the current direction of travel is deactivated. Evaluation of the warning field allows the
transverse side-tracking skate to be braked gently. To ensure optimum material transport, the control
changes over the protective/warning field pair depending on the state and speed.
Mobile side guarding
Mobile side guarding protects people and objects that are located on the vehicles path. This application is
used when very low arranged roller conveyors do not permit an unobstructed passage of horizontal, lateral
protrude protective fields. The safety sensors are positioned laterally and the protective fields are arranged
vertically, at a slight tilt. The position of the front edges of the side protective fields is oriented here on the
position of the front edge of the horizontal protective field.

NOTICE
This function is only available with RSL445 devices.
The measurement data cyclically transmitted by the safety sensor can be used for navigation by driverless
transportation systems.
For each measurement point of the scan level, values for distance and signal strength are part of the measurement data. A navigation system evaluates the measurement data and calculates the position of the vehicle. With the help of the transmitted signal strength, highly reflective landmarks can be detected.
Applications
6.6.1
1Safety sensor
2Retro-reflector
Fig.6.7: Vehicle navigation
In addition to the measurement data, a status profile of the safety sensor is also transmitted. The status
profile contains information about the status of the inputs and outputs as well as other status information.
The status profile thereby offers a possibility for performing diagnostics on the safety sensor.
You can find additional information in document RSL400 UDP specification, which is available for download
on the Leuze electronic website: www.leuze.com
Signal strength and reflector detection
NOTICE
This function is only available with RSL445 devices.
The signal strength transmitted via UDP is a measure of the the optical power received by the safety sensor, which is largely dependent on the following values:
• Distance
• Brightness of the object or structure of the object surface
• Angle of incidence of the laser beam on the object surface
0°: vertically incident light
• Share of area of the light spot on the object
100%: the light spot lies completely on the measured object
Leuze electronicRSL 44053
Applications

The signal strength transmitted by the safety sensor can be used to navigate automated guided vehicles.
The transmitted signal strength value is a unitless, non-calibrated measurement value that is output unprocessed by the safety sensor.
To navigate automated guided vehicles, highly reflective landmarks are distinguished from the less-reflective surroundings. These landmarks usually consist of retro-reflector films.
Retro-reflectors can be identified by analyzing the signal strength values. If the signal strength exceeds a
limit value, a retro-reflector can be mapped at this angle. Reliable detection of retro-reflectors is normally
possible with a signal strength limit value of 180 or higher at a distance > 0.6 m.
For reflective surfaces, the safety sensor usually measures a signal strength value of maximum 500. Signal
strength values > 500 can be caused by object edge effects and do not normally correspond to any real object diffuse reflection.
Due to the narrow light spot of the RSL400, object edge effects rarely occur. Object edge effects can be
caused if a light beam is incident on multiple objects at different distances.

The figure shows a typical curve of the signal strength transmitted by the safety sensor as a function of the
measured object distance and object diffuse reflection for the following boundary conditions:

• Share of area of the light spot on the object: 100%
The upper curve (3) represents the typical, distance-dependent change of the signal strength for a typical
retro-reflector film, e.g., 3M™ Diamond Grade 983-10™.

7Mounting
The safety sensor's protective function is only guaranteed when the device arrangement, configuration,
protective field dimensioning and mounting are coordinated with the respective application.
The installation work must only be performed by a competent person in compliance with the applicable
standards and these instructions. The mounting must be thoroughly inspected on completion.
Ä You must observe and comply with the respective relevant machine-specific standards and regulations
(see chapter 16 "Standards and legal regulations").
Ä Observe the basic information on mounting (see chapter 7.1 "Basic infos").
Improper mounting may result in serious injury!
The protective function of the safety sensor is only ensured if appropriately and professionally
mounted for the respective, intended area of application.
Mounting
WARNING
Ä Only allow competent persons to install the safety sensor.
Ä Maintain the necessary safety distances (see chapter 7.1.1 "Calculation of safety dis-
tanceS").

Calculation of safety distanceS
Optical protective devices can only perform their protective function if they are mounted with adequate
safety distance. When mounting, all delay times must be taken into account, such as the response times of
the safety sensor and control elements as well as the stopping time of the machine, among others.
The following standards specify calculation formulas:

Ä Calculate the necessary safety distance and determine the required additional distances for your appli-
cation.
Ä Determine the mounting location.
• Observe the information regarding the mounting locations; see chapter 7.1.2 "Suitable mounting locations"
• Ensure that machine parts, safety guards or covers do not impair the safety sensor's field of vision.
• Make sure that the scanning range of the safety sensor is not limited. To mount the safety sensor taking the scanning range into consideration, a template must be attached to the top cover of the safety
sensor.

Ä Determine whether you are going to install the safety sensor with or without the mounting system.
During mounting, use the four supplied M5 screws or four similar screws with a diameter of 5mm, and
make certain that the mounting elements or mounting construction supports at least four times the
weight of the device with or without mounting system.
Ä Have the appropriate tools at the ready and mount the safety sensor.
Ä Install protective enclosures or safety bars if the safety sensor is in an exposed position.
Ä If there is a risk that the safety sensor will be used as a climbing aid, install a suitable physical cover
over the safety sensor.
Leuze electronicRSL 44057
Mounting
Ä Align the mounted safety sensor horizontally and vertically using the integrated electronic spirit level.
• For the electronic spirit level to work, the supply voltage of 24V must be present at the safety sensor.
• The electronic spirit level indicates the vertical (V) and horizontal (H) alignment of the safety sensor.
The spirit level is displayed
• permanently after the end of the booting phase/start phase when starting without configuration
• repeatedly until the end of the booting phase/start phase when starting with configuration
• using the configuration and diagnostic software:
Diagnosis > [Align sensor mechanically] button ()
• When mounting without a mounting system, the safety sensor can be aligned only slightly along the
horizontal axis.
Ä Attach safety notice stickers to the mounted safety sensor (the stickers are included in the delivery con-
tents).
Ä Configure the safety sensor with the configuration and diagnostics software; see chapter 9 "Configuring
the safety sensor":
• Observe the information on the response times, the stopping time of the machine and the protective
field dimensioning for your application.
• Determine the size of the protective field on the basis of the mounting location, the calculated safety
distances and additional distances.
NOTICE
Protective fields with a radius of less than 200mm (safety sensor short range) are not permitted
and are therefore preset as minimum contour.
• Configure the protective field so that the safety-related switching outputs are switched off from every
accessible point with sufficient minimum distanceD.
• Determine the start-up/restart operating mode required for the application.
• If you are using start and/or restart interlock, determine the position for the reset button.
• Many safety-relevant parameters are preset for each application in the configuration and diagnostics
software. Use these preset values where possible.
• Determine the conditions for the field pair changeover and the sequence of the field pair changeover.
Ä Create a record document for the device configuration and protective field dimensioning.
• The document must be signed by the person responsible for the configuration.
• Include this document with the machine documentation.
Ä Mark the protective field boundaries on the floor.
You can easily test the safety sensor along this marking.
After mounting, you can electrically connect (see chapter 8 "Electrical connection"), start up, align (see
chapter 10 "Starting up the device"), and test (see chapter 11 "Testing") the safety sensor.

Information on protective field dimensioning
NOTICE
Protective fields with a radius of less than 200mm (safety sensor short range) are not permitted
and are therefore preset as minimum contour.
Ä Dimension the protective field big enough that the safety sensor's switching signal can stop the danger-
ous movement in good time.
If several protective fields are selected with field pair changeover, this condition applies for all protective fields.
Protective fields with a radius of less than 200mm (safety sensor short range) are not permitted and
are therefore preset as minimum contour.
Ä If you cannot sufficiently dimension a protective field, use additional protective measures, e.g. safety
guards.
Ä Ensure that the protective field cannot be walked behind in the direction of the danger zone.
Ä Observe all delay times, e.g. safety sensor response times, control element response times, braking
times or machine or driverless transportation system stopping times (DTS).
Ä Take changed delay times, which, for example, can be caused by reducing the braking force, into ac-
count.
Ä Observe shadowing effects, e.g. surfaces and areas behind static objects. People in the shadows of
these objects will not be detected by the safety sensor.
Ä Observe the lateral tolerance when dimensioning the protective fields (see chapter 15 "Technical
data").
Ä Do not use cone-shaped protective field contours, as these do not guarantee any protective function.
Ä Take the additional distances required for the application into account.
Handling unmonitored areas
There is an area behind the safety sensor that the safety sensor does not monitor. Unmonitored areas can
also materialize, e.g. if you install a safety sensor on a rounded off vehicle front.
It must not be possible to walk behind unmonitored areas.

Ä Use a physical cover set at an angle over the safety sensor if you expect that the safety sensor will be

Protective field setup with adjacent safety sensors
The safety sensor has been developed in a way that prevents several safety sensors from interfering with
one another as much as possible. Nevertheless, if several safety sensors are positioned adjacent to each
other, this may result in a reduction in the availability of the safety sensors.
Ä When mounting the safety sensor, avoid glossy surfaces directly behind the optics cover.
Ä Plan for shielding with stationary applications.
The shielding must be at least as high as the safety sensor's optics cover and embedded with the front
housing edge.
If you plan for a shielding that is still within the countersinking in the machine contour, the resolution of
the protective fields must not be impaired at any accessible points.
You require the reciprocal shielding with both horizontal and vertical alignment of the protective fields.

Response times, stopping time of the machine
The safety sensor's rotary mirror rotates on its own axis every 40ms. One revolution is a scan. At least two
consecutive scans must be interrupted so that the safety-related switching outputs switch off. The safety
sensor's minimum response time is therefore 80ms.
If you want to increase the safety sensor's availability in an environment with fine particles, increase the
number of interrupted scans after which the safety-related switching outputs switch off. With each additional scan the response time ta increases by 40ms. With K=1600mm/s the safety distance increases by
64mm per additional scan.

7.5Mobile danger zone guarding on DTSs
Danger zone guarding protects people and objects that are in rooms in which vehicles move in, e.g. automated guided vehicle systems (DTSs).
A horizontally arranged protective field protects people and objects that are in the vehicle's path and are
detected by the front edge of the protective field.
WARNING
Danger of injury because of insufficient vehicle stopping distance
Ä The operator of the machine must use organizing measures to prevent people from entering
the protective field of the vehicle from the sides or being able to move towards an approaching vehicle.
Ä Only use the safety sensor on vehicles with electrical drive and electrically influenced drive and braking
devices.
Ä Only install the safety sensor on the front of the vehicle.
If you must also guard the reverse travel, you must also install a safety sensor on the rear of the vehicle.
Ä Mount the safety sensor on the vehicle so that there are no unmonitored areas ≥70mm between the
protective field and vehicle front.
Ä Set the mounting height such that the beam level is not more than 200mm above the floor.
A person lying on the floor can therefore be safely detected. This is required by the C standard,
EN1525 "Safety of industrial trucks – Driverless corridor supply vehicles and their systems".

Cable lengths as a function of operating voltage and load current
The maximum cable length is determined by voltage drops on the supply and signal lines.
The following conditions apply for the necessary operating voltage UB at the input terminals of the connection unit:
• UB must be greater than the permissible nominal voltage limit of 16.8V.
NOTICE
The recommended operating voltage is 19V!
Leuzeelectronic recommends an operating voltage UB of 19V at the input terminals of the connection unit.
Ä The operating voltage should not be allowed to drop below the recommended value if possi-
ble.
• The necessary operating voltage UB must also ensure the function of the downstream devices.
• Once the operating voltage UB has been determined, check whether the resulting signal voltages
are sufficient for the downstream devices.
• Take into account the voltage drops in the safety sensor – up to 3.2V – and on the signal wiring.

• Determine the configuration project (see chapter 9.3 "Determine the configuration project")
• Configure the protective function (see chapter 9.4 "Configuring protective function")
Ä Checking function (see chapter 11 "Testing")
Configuring the safety sensor
9.1Defining safety configuration
WARNING
Serious accidents caused by incorrect safety configuration!
The protective function of the safety sensor is only ensured if the safety sensor is correctly configured for the intended application.
Ä Allow only competent persons to perform safety configuration.
Ä Select the safety configuration so that the safety sensor can be used as intended (see chap-
ter 2.1 "Intended use").
Ä Select the protective field dimensions and contours according to the safety distance calcu-
lated for the application (see chapter 7.1.1 "Calculation of safety distanceS").
Ä Select the parameters of the safety configuration according to your risk analysis.
Ä After start-up, check the function of the safety sensor (see chapter 11.1 "Before the initial
start-up and following modifications").
WARNING
Additional protection against manipulation when the monitoring time is increased!
If the monitoring time is increased to above 5s or if manipulation protection is deactivated, the
system operator must introduce other measures to prevent manipulation.
Ä For example, make sure that the distance range in which manipulation is possible cannot be
accessed by personnel under normal operating conditions.

Configuring the safety sensor
NOTICE
OSSDs will switch off if no reflection signals are being measured!
If the safety sensor is unable to measure any reflection signals in a continuous scanning angle
of ≥90° for a long period of time, the safety-related switching outputs switch off. In certain application types (e.g. in buildings with extremely large distances), the safety sensor may not be able
to measure any reflection signals. For such application types, it is possible to set or deactivate
the monitoring times.
Ä In the CONFIGURATION menu, click the Other option.
ð The OTHER dialog box opens.
Ä In the PROTECTION AGAINST MANIPULATION dialog box, define the monitoring time ac-
cording to your specific conditions.
ð If the parking position is active, there will be no manipulation monitoring.
Prerequisites:
• The safety sensor is mounted (see chapter 7 "Mounting") and connected (see chapter 8 "Electrical connection") correctly.
• Dangerous process is switched off, outputs of the safety sensor are disconnected, and the system is
protected against being switched back on.
• The size of the protective field is determined on the basis of the mounting location, the calculated
safety distances and additional distances.
• The start/restart operating mode required by the application has been determined.
• The conditions for field pair changeover, if required, have been determined.
• The configuration and diagnostics software for the safety sensor is installed on the PC (see chapter 4.2
"Installing software").

To configure the safety sensor, proceed as follows:
Ä Connect the PC to the safety sensor
Ä Start the software
• Set up communication
• Determine the configuration project
Ä Configure the protective function using the project wizard
• Protective/warning field configuration
• Resolution and response time
• Start-up behavior
• Contactor monitoring
• E-stop linkage
• Field pair changeover
• Configuration of the signal outputs
Ä Save configuration project
Ä Transferring a configuration to the safety sensor
Ä Create a record document for the device configuration and protective field dimensioning. The document
must be signed by the person responsible for the configuration.
To document the configuration, you can create a PDF file of the safety configuration or save the configuration and settings in an *.xml file.
