3.1.1Protective function of RSL 400 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.

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).
When the protective field has been free for about 5 seconds, the device switches back to the display in
normal operation.
Displays in normal operation
The display in normal operation depends on the operating state of the safety sensor. The display can be
switched off or rotated by 180° by means of the software.
3.3.3Field-of-view display
The upper and lower limit of the safety sensor's field of view can be displayed by means of horizontal lines
on the optics cover.
Make sure that the safety sensor's field of view is always completely unobstructed.
NOTICE
Always check the protective field configuration!
Check all defined protective fields each time the configuration is changed.
The field-of-view display is a comfort function and is not intended as a substitute for checking the protective field configuration.
The safety sensor's field of view must be completely unobstructed on the application side.

Configuration and diagnostic software Sensor Studio
4Configuration and diagnostic software
To start up a safety sensor in your application, the safety sensor must be set up according to its specific
use using the configuration and diagnostic software. The software is used to set up the safety configuration
of the safety sensor, to change the communication and diagnostics settings and to perform diagnostic
routines. Communication takes place via the PC.
The software is designed according to the FDT/DTM concept:
• You make the individual configurations for the safety sensor in the Device Type Manager (DTM).
• The individual DTM configurations of a project can be called up via the frame application of the Field
Device Tool (FDT).
• Each device DTM has a communication DTM that sets up and monitors the communication connections to the sensor.
Only use the software for safety sensors manufactured by Leuze electronic.

6Applications
The following chapters essentially describe the safety sensor's usage possibilities.
• To safely mount the safety sensor for the respective application, see chapter 7 "Mounting".
• For the electrical connection of the safety sensor, see chapter 8 "Electrical connection".
• To safely configure the safety sensor for the respective application, see chapter 9 "Configuring the
safety sensor".
6.1Stationary 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.

Figure 6.1:Stationary danger zone guarding
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
EN ISO 13855, resolutions from 14 to 40 mm make sense here. This yields the necessary safety distance
for finger protection, among others (see chapter 7.3 "Stationary point of operation guarding").

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
lock
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.

6.5Danger zone guarding on side-tracking skates
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.

7Mounting
SKTC+=
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.
You must observe and comply with the respective relevant machine-specific standards and regulations
(see chapter 16 "Standards and legal regulations").
Observe the basic information on mounting (see chapter 7.1 "Basic infos").
WARNING
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.
Only allow competent persons to install the safety sensor.
Maintain the necessary safety distances (see chapter 7.1.1 "Calculation of safety distance S").
Make sure that stepping behind, crawling under or stepping over the protective device is reliably ruled
out and reaching under, over or around is taken into account in the safety distance, if applicable with
additional distance C
Take measures to prevent that the safety sensor can be used to gain access to the danger zone, e.g.
by stepping or climbing into it.
Observe the relevant standards, regulations and these instructions.
After mounting, check the safety sensor for proper function.
Clean the safety sensor at regular intervals.

7.1.1Calculation of safety distance S
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:
• EN ISO 13855, "Safety of machines - The positioning of protective device in respect of approach
speeds of parts of the human body": mounting situation and safety distances
General formula for calculating the safety distance S of an Optoelectronic Protective Device acc. to

7.1.2Suitable mounting locations
Area of application: Mounting
Tester: technician who mounts the safety sensor
Table 7.1:Checklist for mounting preparations
Check:YesNo
Is the safety distance to the point of operation maintained?
Has the scanning angle of the safety sensor as given on the marking/template on the top
of the sensor been taken into consideration?
Can the point of operation or the danger zone only be accessed through the protective
field?
Have measures been taken to prevent the protective field from being bypassed by crawling under?
Is stepping behind the protective device prevented or is mechanical protection available?
Can the safety sensors be fastened in such a way that they cannot be moved and
turned?
Mounting
Is the safety sensor accessible for testing and replacing?
Is it impossible to actuate the reset button from within the danger zone?
Can the entire danger zone be seen from the installation site of the reset button?
If you answer one of the items on the checklist (see table 7.1) with no, the mounting location must
be changed.
7.1.3Mounting the safety sensor
Detailed information on mounting the safety sensor can be found in the document Quick Start
Guide RSL 400.
Proceed as follows:
Calculate the necessary safety distance and determine the required additional distances for your appli-
cation.
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.

During mounting, use the four supplied M5 screws or four similar screws with a diameter of 5 mm, 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.
Have the appropriate tools at the ready and mount the safety sensor.
Install protective enclosures or safety bars if the safety sensor is in an exposed position.
Leuze electronicRSL 41042
Mounting
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.
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 24 V 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 diagnostics software:
Diagnosis > [Align sensor mechanically] button ()
• When mounting without a mounting system, the safety sensor can be aligned only slightly along the
horizontal axis.
Attach safety notice stickers to the mounted safety sensor (the stickers are included in the delivery con-
tents).
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.
• Configure the protective field so that the safety-related switching outputs are switched off from every
accessible point with sufficient minimum distance D.
• 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.
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.
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 check (see chapter 11 "Testing") the safety sensor.

7.1.5Information on protective field dimensioning
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 200 mm (safety sensor short range) are not permitted and
are therefore preset as minimum contour.
If you cannot sufficiently dimension a protective field, use additional protective measures, e.g. safety
guards.
Ensure that the protective field cannot be walked behind in the direction of the danger zone.
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).
Take changed delay times, which, for example, can be caused by reducing the braking force, into
account.
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.
Observe the lateral tolerance when dimensioning the protective fields (see chapter 15 "Technical data").
Do not use cone-shaped protective field contours, as these do not guarantee any protective function.
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.

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.
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 40 ms. 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 80 ms.
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 t

If all hazards in the fenced off area are covered by the safety sensor and the height of the beam level
is 300 mm, you can raise the bottom edge of the hard guards from 200 mm to 350 mm. The protective
field reaching to under the hard guards takes over the protective function of preventing an adult from
crawling under in this case.
The beam level of the safety sensor is level with the alphanumerical display.
Prevent obstructions within the calculated protective field boundaries. If this is not possible, implement

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
The operator of the machine must use organizing measures to prevent people from entering the pro-
tective field of the vehicle from the sides or being able to move towards an approaching vehicle.
Only use the safety sensor on vehicles with electrical drive and electrically influenced drive and braking
devices.
Only install the safety sensor on the front of the vehicle.
If you must also guard the rever se t rav el, you mus t al so install a safety sensor on the rear of the vehicle.
Mount the safety sensor on the vehicle so that there are no unmonitored areas
protective field and vehicle front.
Set the mounting height such that the beam level is not more than 200 mm above the floor.
A person lying on the floor can therefore be safely detected. This is required by the C standard, EN 1525
"Safety of industrial trucks – Driverless corridor supply vehicles and their systems".
The beam level of the safety sensor is level with the alphanumerical display.

Set the protective field length so that the response time until braking and the braking distance, including
factors for wear and tear and floor conditions, and any necessary additional distances are taken into
account.
Arrange the protective field symmetrically with reference to the vehicle width, even if the safety sensor
is not arranged centered.
Configure an upstream warning field that reduces the vehicle's speed.
A full brake with a subsequent interruption of the protective field is then executed moderately and is less
demanding on the vehicle's drives.
Dimension the minimum distance D for the maximum speed as if the speed reduction initiated by the
warning field had not happened.
Take the required free space for lateral protrude protective fields under the roller conveyors along the
transportation path into account.
If you have to expect angular deviations of the vehicle during the travel, plan an additional tolerance
area to guarantee undisturbed travel operation.
7.6Mobile side guarding on DTSs
WARNING
Danger of injury because of insufficient vehicle stopping distance
The operator of the machine must use organizing measures to ensure that people cannot enter the

For mobile vertical protective fields use a resolution of at least 150 mm.
Position the protective field edges in the travel direction in accordance with the front protective field edge
of the horizontal protective field.

Functional earth
NOTICE
Always connect the housing of the safety sensor to functional earth or ground!
The housing of the safety sensor must always be connected to earth (functional earth) or machine/
vehicle ground.
If the safety sensor is attached to a non-conductive material (e.g. a concrete wall), the housing of the
safety sensor must be earthed.
• Factory recommendation: Functional earth via a ground strap/braid (low impedance for RF).
Connection points for self-tapping screws used for the ground connection are provided and labeled
on the bottom of the connection unit (see figure 8.3).
• Functional grounding via the shield of the connection cable.
For grounding, the shield of the connection cable in the switch cabinet must be connected to earth or
machine/vehicle ground.
NOTICE
Make sure that potential equalization is provided!
If the housing of the safety sensor or the mounting bracket – despite being mounted on a non-conduc-
tive material – is connected to metallic parts (even temporarily), you must ensure that the appropriate
potential equalization is provided between the switch cabinet and housing potential; e.g. by grounding
the Ethernet connection.

To start up the safety sensor in your application, the safety sensor must be individually adapted using the
software. All configuration data is defined using the configuration and diagnostics software.
General procedure for configuring safety sensor
Assessing the risk
• The system has been determined and its boundaries defined.
• The safety sensor has been selected as the safety component.
• The type of guarding has been determined (danger zone guarding, point of operation guarding,
access guarding).
Calculating safety distance
Shape and size of the protective and warning fields
Configuring the safety sensor
• Configuration and diagnostics software (see chapter 4 "Configuration and diagnostic software
Sensor Studio")
• Determine the configuration project (see chapter 9.3 "Determining configuration project")
• Configure the protective function (see chapter 9.4 "Configuring protective function")
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.
Allow only competent persons to perform safety configuration.
Select the safety configuration so that the safety sensor can be used as intended (see chapter 2.1
"Approved purpose").
Select the protective field dimensions and contours according to the safety distance calculated for the
application (see chapter 7.1.1 "Calculation of safety distance S").

13Care, maintenance and disposal
13.1Changing scanner unit
If the safety sensor check or an error message indicates a defective scanner unit, change the scanner unit.
Only a trained and competent person is permitted to change the scanner unit.
The scanner unit is changed as follows:
• Detach the scanner unit from the connection unit.
• Attach the replacement scanner unit to the connection unit.
NOTICE
Safety sensor malfunction caused by dirt!
Perform all work in an environment which is as dust-free and dirt-free as possible.
Do not touch any of the parts inside the device.
WARNING
Malfunctioning of safety sensor due to incompatibility of connection unit and scanner unit! Malfunctioning
of safety sensor due to incorrect configuration!
Wherever possible, replace the scanner unit with a scanner unit with the same range and performance
class (e.g. RSL 420-M with RSL 420-M). The safety sensor configuration stored in the connection unit
is only adopted without changes if the new scanner unit supports all configured functions.
Change the configuration parameters of the safety sensor using the configuration and diagnostic soft-
ware according to the performance class of the scanner unit or of the connection unit.
If a scanner unit is attached to a connection unit with a lower performance class (e.g. a scanner unit
RSL 430 to a connection unit CU416), the integrated cable management of the connection unit means
that only the functions of the lower performance class (of the connection unit) are available.
If a scanner unit is attached to a connection unit with a higher performance class (e.g. an RSL 420
scanner unit to a CU429 connection unit), the performance of the scanner unit restricts the functions
to those of the lower performance class (of the scanner unit).
Change the configuration parameters of the safety sensor using the configuration and diagnostic soft-
ware according to the operating range of the replaced scanner unit.
If the scanner unit is replaced with a scanner unit with a different range (e.g. RSL 420-L with
RSL 420-M), you must check and, if necessary, adapt the configuration of the safety sensor.
Care, maintenance and disposal
Detailed information on attaching the scanner unit can be found in the document Quick Start
Guide RSL 400.
Undo the quick-release fasteners on both sides of the scanner unit.
Pull the scanner unit off the connection unit.
Place the new scanner unit on the connection unit.
Connect and lock the new scanner unit using the quick-release fasteners on both sides.
Check the configuration of the safety sensor (see chapter 9 "Configuring the safety sensor").
If a preconfigured scanner unit is attached to a brand new, unconfigured connection unit, the
safety configuration stored in the scanner unit is transferred to the connection unit and you can
use the safety sensor without reconfiguration after a restart.
Check the safety sensor according to the routine for initial start-up (see chapter 11.1.1 "Checklist for
integrator – to be performed prior to the initial start-up and following modifications").
Leuze electronicRSL 41084
13.2Cleaning the optics cover
Clean the optics cover as required by the application-related load rating.
Use the cleaning set consisting of special cleaning agent and cleaning cloths for cleaning (see chapter 17
"Ordering information and accessories").
The procedure for cleaning depends on the kind of contamination:
SoilingCleaning
Care, maintenance and disposal
Particles, loose, scouring
Particles, loose, non-scouring
Particles, sticking
Particles, statically charged
Particles/drops, smearing
Water drops
Oil drops

NOTICE
The wrong cleaning agents or cloths will damage the optics cover!
Do not use any scouring cleaning agents or scratching cloths.

If cleaning takes longer than four seconds, e.g. with fingerprints, the safety sensor displays a
fault of optics cover monitoring. After cleaning is complete, the safety sensor resets itself auto-
matically.
Soak cloth with cleaning agent.
Wipe optics cover free in one swipe.
13.3Servicing
The device does not normally require any maintenance by the operator.
Repairs to the device must only be performed by the manufacturer.

The safety-related transistor outputs perform the spark extinction. With transistor outputs, it is
therefore neither necessary nor permitted to use the spark extinction circuits recommended by
contactor or valve manufacturers (RC elements, varistors or recovery diodes), since these con-
siderably extend the decay times of inductive switching elements.
