• It must be possible to transfer the dangerous state of the machine, the
equipment or the vehicle to a safe state at any time using the OSSDs
on the SafeZone safety laser scanner after integration in the
controller.
• The SafeZone safety laser scanner must be mounted and configured
such that it detects objects as they enter the hazardous area (see
Section 4 “Installation and mounting” on page 18).
3.2.1 Principles of operation
The SafeZone safety laser scanner is an optical sensor that scans its
surroundings in two dimensions using infrared laser beams. It is used to
monitor a hazardous area on a machine or a vehicle.
R
S
Δt
S
R
S – Δt
The SafeZone safety laser scanner uses light pulses precisely radiated in
specific directions. Thus the laser scanner does not continuously cover
the area to be monitored. In this way resolutions of between 30 mm and
150 mm are achieved.
Due to its active scanning principle, the SafeZone safety laser scanner
does not require receivers or reflectors. This has the following
advantages:
• Ease of installation.
• You can easily adapt the monitored area to the hazardous area on a
machine.
• In comparison with contact sensors, there is less wear when electrosensitive scanning is used.
3.2.2 Field set comprised of protective safety field and
warning field
Figure 1: Principle of operation, time of flight measurement by the
SafeZone safety laser scanner
The SafeZone safety laser scanner works on the principle of time of flight
measurement . It sends out very short pulses of infrared light (S). At
the same time an “electronic stopwatch” is started. When the light is
reflected off of an object, it is received by the safety laser scanner (E).
From the time between sending and receiving (
Δt) the SafeZone
multizone safety laser scanner calculates the distance to the object.
In the SafeZone safety laser scanner there is also a mirror rotating at
constant speed that deflects the light pulses such that they cover an arc
of 190°. By determining the angle of rotation of the mirror, the SafeZone
safety laser scanner determines the direction of the object.
From the measured distance and the direction of the object, the safety
laser scanner determines the exact position of the object.
Figure 3: Protective safety field and warning field
The protective safety field secures the hazardous area on a machine or
vehicle. As soon as the safety laser scanner detects an object in the
protective safety field, it switches the OSSDs to the off status and thus
initiates the shutdown of the machine or stop of the vehicle.
You can define the warning field such that the safety laser scanner detects
an object before the actual hazardous area and e.g. triggers a warning signal.
The protective safety field and warning field form a pair, the so-called
field set. With the aid of the SCD you can configure these field sets and
transfer them to the SafeZone safety laser scanner. If the area to be
monitored changes, then you can re-configure the SafeZone safety laser
scanner in software without additional mounting effort.
The SafeZone Singlezone has a single configurable field set. The
SafeZone Multizone has up to four configurable field sets. The SafeZone
Multizone allows switching between field sets if the monitoring situation
changes (see Section 3.2.3 “Monitoring cases” below).
3.2.3 Monitoring cases
Four monitoring cases can be defined in the SafeZone multizone and
selected during operation using static control input. Each monitoring
case includes:
Figure 2: Principle of operation of the SafeZone safety laser
scanner—light pulses

• The input conditions, the so-called control signals, that control the
activation of the monitoring case.
• A field set, comprising protective safety field and warning field.

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

Interior protection
On large machines the SafeZone safety laser scanner can be used to
protect the interior. The machine can only be restarted if the SafeZone
safety laser scanner does not detect any object in the protective safety
field. This is particularly important for interiors that can only be seen
with difficulty from the outside, or cannot be seen at all.

In this application, the SafeZone safety laser scanner only has a secondary
protective function. The primary safety function that stops the dangerous
movement is provided in the example by a light curtain , while the
SafeZone safety laser scanner monitors the restarting of the machine.
Figure 8: Interior protection
Hazardous point protection (vertical protection)
The SafeZone safety laser scanner can also be used vertically. Mounting in this
way requires less space on the machine or equipment. Hazardous point
protection is necessary if the operator is near the dangerous state of the
machine. Hand protection must be configured to protect the hazardous
point.
Access protection (vertical protection)
You can also use the SafeZone safety laser scanner vertically for access
protection. Access protection can be used when the access to the machine
can be defined by physical means. With access protection the SafeZone
safety laser scanner detects the entry of a person.
Figure 10: Access protection
3.3.2 Mobile applications
The SafeZone safety laser scanner can be used both on manually
controlled vehicles, e.g. fork lift trucks, and also on automated guided
vehicles (AGV) or trolleys.
You can use the SafeZone safety laser scanner on vehicles, e.g. to protect
the route of a vehicle through a factory building. If there is a person or an
obstacle in the hazardous area, the SafeZone safety laser scanner ensures
that the vehicle reduces speed and stops if necessary.

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

Prior to commissioning the machine or
vehicle, check the configuration of the
protective safety fields using the
instructions in Section 8
“Commissioning” (page 36) and using
the checklist (page 54).
Protective safety field suggested by the safety laser scanner
You can also have the SCD software suggest a protective safety field. The
safety laser scanner scans the visible room contour several times. During this
process possible measurement errors are taken into account. From the data
obtained in this way the SCD software determines the contour of the
protective safety field.
You can obtain the suggestion for the protective
safety field in the field set editor in the SCD
software: Device symbol SafeZone safety laser
scanner, command Edit field sets.... In the field set
editor window that opens, Suggest protective safety
field button.
The size determined for the protective safety field is:
• As large as the visible room contour.
• In those places where there is no room contour
within the scanning range, as large as the
maximum scanning range of the safety laser
scanner (4 or 5 m).
IMPORTANT
The measurement error tolerances of
the SafeZone safety laser scanner are
automatically subtracted from the
protective safety field suggested. As a
result the protective safety field is
slightly smaller than the surface
acquired.
room contour (less the measurement tolerances). In those places where
the room contour is larger than the nominal scanning range , the
protective safety field corresponds to the nominal scanning range (4 or
5m).
WAR NIN G
Check the protective safety field
suggested.
The scanner cannot calculate the safety
distance necessary for your
application. Calculate the safety
distance based on the description in
Section 4 “Installation and mounting”
on page 18. Prior to commissioning the
machine or vehicle, check the
configuration of the protective safety
fields using the instructions in Section
8 “Commissioning” on page 36 and
using the checklist on page 54.
3.4.2 Application
With the SCD software you can configure the
SafeZone safety laser scanner for the required
application. For each application you first set the
resolution (device symbol SafeZone safety laser
scanner system, context menu Configuration draft,
Edit..., file card Application):
• Possible resolution for stationary applications:
30 mm (hand detection with smaller safety distance)
- 40 mm (hand detection with larger safety distance)
- 50 mm (leg detection with smaller protective safety field
size)
- 70 mm (leg detection with larger protective safety field
size)
- 150 mm (body detection)
• Possible resolution for mobile application:
- 70 mm (leg detection)
IMPORTANT
For mobile applications a resolution of
only 70 mm is required for leg
detection, as a lower resolution is
sufficient for the detection of a human
leg due to the movement of the
vehicle.

Figure 15: Schematic diagram of contour as reference
For contour monitoring you define part of the protective safety field as
a contour segment . Within the contour segment a tolerance band is
defined. This comprises a positive and a negative tolerance band.
The OSSDs on the SafeZone safety laser scanner change to the off status
if
• There is an object in the protective safety field.
• The room contour changes by more than the tolerance band (in the
example by opening the door or by changing the position of the
SafeZone safety laser scanner).
IMPORTANT
You can define any number of contour
segments. The contour segments must
not be narrower than the configured
resolution. At the points where a
contour has been configured as a
reference you cannot define a warning
field.
3.4.3 Using the contour of the protective safety field
as a reference
If the beams of the protective safety field reach as far as an obstacle (e.g. the
floor in vertical applications or the walls in horizontal applications), the
SafeZone multizone safety laser scanner can also monitor the contour of the
protective safety field.
12 10000073050, July 2011
Original instructions
You define the contour as a reference in the SCD
field set editor: Device symbol SafeZone safety laser
scanner, command Edit field sets… In the field set
editor window. Tools menu. Add contour command.
Vertical operation
In vertical operation (for access protection and hazardous point
protection) according to IEC/EN 61496-3 you must always configure and
activate the contour as reference function. If the radius of a protective safety
field exceeds 4 meters, then it must be ensured that changes to the
positioning of the safety laser scanner resulting in a movement of the
protective safety field of more than 100 mm are detected.
RecommendationUse vertical passage limits at the side (e.g.
door frames) and the floor as the reference. If
in this case the position of the SafeZone
safety laser scanner is changed in one or
more planes, the distance to the reference
changes and the SafeZone multizone safety
laser scanner switches its OSSDs to the OFF
state.

3.4.4 External device monitoring (EDM)
The EDM function monitors the contact elements activated by both the
OSSDs (e.g. contactors). The machine is only allowed to start if both
contactors are in the de-energized state on reset, that is they are
deactivated.
The SafeZone safety laser scanner monitors the contactors after every
interruption of the protective safety field and before the restart of the
machine. The EDM can in this way identify if one of the contactors has
welded in the following manner.
You can configure the external device monitoring in
the SCD (device symbol SafeZone safety laser
scanner system, context menu Configuration draft,
Edit..., file card Scanner name).
• If no internal restart interlock is configured, then
- the system locks completely (lock-out).
Horizontal operation
If the protective safety field reaches the walls of a room partially or
entirely, the SafeZone safety laser scanner can also monitor the contour
of the protective safety field. The OSSDs on the SafeZone multizone
safety laser scanner then change to the off status if the room contour
changes due the opening of a door, even if there is no object in the
protective safety field.
Figure 17: Protective safety field as reference for horizontal operation

between contour segments.
Each output signal switching device
(OSSD) is only allowed to be connected
to one switching element (e.g. relay or
contactor).
- the error message appears in the 7segment display.
• If an internal restart interlock is configured, then

Notes
- the error message appears in the 7segment display.
- with the flashing LED the SafeZone safety
laser scanner signals that the control
switch for restarting or resetting the

3.4.5 Application diagnostic output
The application diagnostic output, when not configured, sources 24V
DC. When configured for contamination or status of outputs (OSSDs)
or both, the ADO will turn off to signal one of the configured states (see
Table 21 on page 40).

front screen is contaminated.
• Whether an output signal is only active when an
error occurs.
• Whether an output signal is activated for both the
front screen contamination and on errors.
3.4.6 Restart
Figure 18: Schematic of operation with restart interlock
Restart interlock
The dangerous state of a machine or a vehicle is interrupted as soon as
there is an object in the protective safety field and is not enabled again ,
even if there is no longer an object in the protective safety field. The
OSSDs are only enabled again when the operator operates the control
switch for restarting or resetting.
The restart interlock can be implemented in two different ways:
• With the internal restart interlock of the SafeZone safety laser
scanner:
The outputs on the SafeZone safety laser scanner are enabled after the
connected control switch is operated.
• With the restart interlock of the machine controller:
The SafeZone safety laser scanner has no effect on the restart.
AT TE N TI O N
Place the control switch for restart or
reset outside the hazardous area in a
place where it can clearly be seen from
the hazardous area.
Place the control switch for restart or
reset outside the hazardous area such
that it cannot be operated by a person
in the hazardous area. Ensure that the
person who operates the control
switch has a full view of the hazardous
area.
Restart delay
On the SafeZone safety laser scanner, instead of a restart interlock you can
configure a restart delay of 2 to 60 seconds. This enables the machine or the
vehicle to start automatically when the protective safety field becomes
clear, and the pre-set time has elapsed. It is not possible to combine restart
interlock and restart delay.
AT T EN T IO N
It is important to configure the
SafeZone safety laser scanner with
restart interlock if a person cannot be
detected at every point in the hazard
area for the SafeZone safety laser
scanner.
Operators may be at risk if restart
interlock is not configured. Check, if
necessary, whether it is possible to
prevent personnel from approacing
the hazard point by design measures
(see Section 4.1.2 “Measures to protect
areas not covered by the SafeZone
safety laser scanner" on page 21).
IMPORTANT
The SafeZone safety laser scanner
cannot differentiate between a
contaminated front screen and an
obstacle directly in front of it. To ensure
high availability, the SafeZone multizone
safety laser scanner has been designed
such that it reliably detects dark black
bodies such as wide black cord or shoe
leather from a distance of 5 cm in front
of the front screen. Black objects that
are closer to the front screen may not be
detected.
AT T EN T IO N
Secure the area close to the SafeZone
safety laser scanner if operated without
restart interlock.
Make the area near the device
inaccessible by means of physical
measures (hard guard or recessing) or,
in addition to the SafeZone safety laser
scanner, use a proximity switch with 5
cm acquisition range. Without this
additional protection you will
endanger persons who move from the
protective safety field into the area
near the device.

Reset
IMPORTANT
The reset function is often also called
“preparation for restart.” In these
operating instructions the term reset is
typically used.
If you want to activate the restart interlock on the SafeZone safety laser
scanner (internal) and also a restart interlock on the machine (external),
then each restart interlock needs its own control switch.
If you do not use the restart interlock, leave the inputs disconnected (see
Section 5.1.1 “Pin assignments of the I/O modules” on page 32).
You can configure the type of restart in the SCD (device symbol SafeZone
safety laser scanner system, context menu Configuration draft, Edit..., file
card Scanner name).
3.4.7 Multiple sampling
When multiple sampling is set, an object must be scanned several times
before the SafeZone safety laser scanner switches off its OSSDs. In this
way you can reduce the probability that objects falling through the scan
plane, for example welding sparks or other particles, result in the
shutdown of the equipment.
With a multiple sampling configuration of (e.g., 3) an object must be
scanned three times in succession before the SafeZone safety laser
scanner switches off the OSSDs.
IMPORTANT
The total response time is increased by
the multiple sampling.
With a multiple sampling greater than
2, note that you must add a
supplement to the basic response time
(see Section 11.2 “OSSD response
times” on page 42)!
On the SafeZone safety laser scanner, a multiple sampling of 2 is the
minimum setting. You can set the multiple sampling up to 16 with the aid of
the SCD software.
After operating the control switch for the internal
restart interlock (with protective safety field
unoccupied)
• The SafeZone multizone safety laser scanner
switches on its OSSDs.
• The adjacent LED on the safety laser scanner
illuminates green.
The external restart interlock prevents the machine from restarting.
After resetting the SafeZone safety laser scanner the operator must press
the control switch to restart the machine controller.
AT TE N TI O N
Ensure that the correct sequence is
followed!
The controller must be configured such
that the machine only restarts if the
SafeZone safety laser scanner is first
reset and then the control switch for
restarting the machine controller is
pressed.

3.4.8 Monitoring cases
If you are using the SafeZone multizone, you can define up to four
monitoring cases.
Original instructions
10000073050, July 2011 15
SafeZone™ Safety Laser Scanner User Manual
IMPORTANT
Ensure that the safety distance to the
dangerous state is properly established
in any monitoring case to protect the
hazardous area.
See Section 4 “Installation and
mounting” on page 18.
It is possible to switch between these monitoring cases during operation
using static control inputs.
Park mode
For mobile applications in which vehicles are parked for a time, the
SafeZone multizone safety laser scanner can be switched to park mode.
In the park mode the OSSDs are deactivated and the laser beam in the
safety laser scanner will shutdown. In this way the power consumption of
the device is reduced.
The park mode can be configured for a monitoring case. To switch to the
park mode, the input must be configured such that the related
monitoring case with the park mode is activated.
RecommendationIf you park vehicles beside each other,
switch them to the park mode. In this way
you prevent the SafeZone multizone safety
laser scanner on the vehicles from optically
interferring with each other and the
SafeZone multizone safety laser scanner
from possibly entering an error (lockout)
condition.
You can configure the monitoring cases in the SCD
software (device symbol SafeZone multizone safety
laser scanner system, context menu Configuration
draft, Edit...).
3.4.9 Static control inputs
The SafeZone multizone safety laser scanner has two two-channel static
control inputs through which the four possible monitoring cases can be
switched.
You can configure the control input in the SCD
software (device symbol SafeZone multizone safety
laser scanner system, context menu Configuration
draft, Edit..., file card Inputs).
IMPORTANT
When switching the monitoring cases
using static control inputs, please note
the following points:
Ensure that the control for the
monitoring case switching has a
sufficiently high level of safety.
Ensure that the circuit for the control
inputs is suitable for the ambient
conditions to be expected so that
systematic effects and thus errors on
the switching of the monitoring
cases can be excluded.
Ensure that the control—using static
control inputs—provides switching
between the monitoring cases in the
correct time frame. Note that at the time
of the switching there may be a person
in the protective safety field. Only by
means of switching in the correct time
frame (i.e. before the hazard occurs at
this point for the person) is protection
provided (see Section 4.5 “Timing for
monitoring case switching” on page 27).
Static complementary sampling
A control input comprises a pair of two connections. For correct
switching one connection must be inverted in relation to the other.
The following table shows the levels that must be present at the
connections for the control input to define the logical input state 1 and 0
at the related control input.

Input delay
If the control device which is used to switch the static control inputs cannot
switch within 10 ms (for 60 ms basic response time) or 20 ms (for 120 ms
basic response time) to the related input condition (e.g. due to switch
bounce times), you must choose an input delay. For the input delay choose
the time in which your defined control device can switch to a
corresponding input condition.
Independent of the basic response time chosen for the SafeZone
multizone safety laser scanner, you can increase the input delay in 30-ms
steps (for 60 ms basic response time) or 60-ms steps (for 120 ms basic
response time).

3.4.11 Naming applications and laser scanners
A name can be assigned to the application configured and to the laser
scanner(s). The names are saved in the devices after the configuration is
transferred. The name chosen may, for example, be the identifier for the
system or the machine.
If you assign unique application names, you may “reserve” the devices for
certain duties. A machine maintenance person comparing exchanged
devices with the configuration data saved in the SCD software will be
notified that the application name does not match. He may then
exchange these devices for those with the correct application name.
You can enter the application or scanner names in the
SCD software (device symbol SafeZone safety laser
scanner system, context menu Configuration draft,
Edit…, file card Application).
3.5 Indicators and outputs
3.4.10 Checking of the monitoring case switching
To check the switching between monitoring cases, configure a series of
monitoring cases. Here you can define either an arbitrary sequence, a
unique sequence, or two alternative sequences.
Arbitrary sequence: It is allowed to switch from one monitoring case to
any other defined monitoring case.
Unique sequence: It is only allowed to switch from a monitoring case to
another specifically defined monitoring case.
Alternative sequence: It is allowed to switch from a monitoring case to
one of two specifically defined monitoring cases.
RecommendationUse the checking of the monitoring cases as
an additional medium to exclude risks. For
example, deviations of a vehicle from a
corridor or a plant from the stipulated
production process can be detected.
The LEDs and the 7-segment display indicate the operational status of
the SafeZone safety laser scanner. They are on the front face of the safety
laser scanner. Above the LEDs there are symbols that are used in the
remainder of these operating instructions to describe the LEDs.

IMPORTANT
All outputs are only allowed to be used
for the purpose specified. Note that the
signals at the application diagnostic
outputs for “warning field,”
“contamination of the front screen/
error” and “reset necessary” are not
safe. For this reason the warning field is
not allowed to be used for tasks related
to personnel protection.
AT T EN T IO N
No protective function without
sufficient safety distance.
The SafeZone safety laser scanner’s
safety function depends on the system
being mounted with the correct safety
distance from the hazardous area.
Section 4 — Installation and Mounting
This section describes the preparation and completion of the mounting of
the SafeZone safety laser scanner.
Mounting requires four steps:
• Definition of the application and the necessary mounting location for
the laser scanner
• Calculation of the protective safety field sizes
You can enter the calculated protective safety field sizes with the aid of
the SCD software. Or leave the SafeZone safety laser scanner to suggest
the protective safety fields. In the latter case it is necessary to check
whether the suggested sizes correspond to those calculated. Thus in any
circumstance you must calculate the protective safety field size.
• Definition of the switching point between monitoring cases
• Mounting the safety laser scanner with or without mounting kits

SafeZone™ Safety Laser Scanner User Manual
IMPORTANT
• Mount the SafeZone safety laser
scanner in a dry place and protect
the device from dirt and damage.
• Avoid strong electrical fields.
These can be produced by
welding cables, induction cables in
the immediate vicinity and also by
mobile telephones operated in
close physical proximity.
• Ensure that there are no obstacles
in the area to be monitored in the
field of view of the SafeZone
safety laser scanner that could
cause interference or shadowing.
Such shadowed areas cannot be
monitored by the SafeZone safety
laser scanner. If there are
unavoidable shadowed areas,
check whether there is a risk. Take
additional safety precautions as
necessary.
• Keep the area to be monitored free
of smoke, fog, steam or other forms
of air impurities. Otherwise the
function of the SafeZone safety
laser scanner may be impaired
causing nuisance stops.
• Avoid placing highly reflective
objects in the scan plane of the
SafeZone safety laser scanner.
Examples: Retroreflectors can
affect the measurement results of
the SafeZone safety laser scanner.
Mirrored objects can hide part of
the area to be monitored.
• Mount the SafeZone safety laser
scanner such that it is not
saturated by incidental sunlight. Do
not position stroboscopic and
fluorescent lights directly in the
scan plane as these may affect the
SafeZone safety laser scanner in
specific circumstances.
• Mark the protective safety field on
the floor, if this is reasonable for
the application (see EN 61496,
part 1, Section 7).
The following steps are necessary after mounting and installation:
• Completing the elec trical connections (Se ction 5 “Electrical installation”
on page 31)
• Configuration of the protective safety field (Section 7
“Configuration” on page 35)
• Commissioning and checking of the installation (Section 8
“Commissioning” on page 36)
• Checking of the SafeZone safety laser scanner functionality and safe
shutdown of the machine, vehicle or equipment (Section 8.2 “Test
notes” on page 36)
4.1 Stationary application in horizontal
operation
This type of protective device is suitable for machines and equipment on
which a hazardous area is not enclosed by a fixed protective device.
For a horizontally mounted stationary application determine
• The protective safety field size to observe the necessary safety
distance.
• The height of the scan plane.
•The restart behavior.
• Measures to protect areas not covered by the SafeZone safety laser
scanner.
IMPORTANT
4.1.1 Protective safety field size
The protective safety field must be so configured that a safety distance
(S) to the hazardous area is maintained. This safety distance ensures that
the hazardous point can only be reached after the dangerous state of the
machine has been completely stopped.
Once you have defined the protective
safety field size, mark the boundaries of
the protective safety field on the floor.
This avoids inadvertent entrance into
the protective safety field and makes it
possible to subsequently check the
shape of the protective safety field.

SafeZone™ Safety Laser Scanner User Manual
IMPORTANT
If you are using the SafeZone
multizone, you can define several
monitoring cases with different
protective safety fields. In such cases
you must calculate the protective
safety field size for all protective safety
fields used.
You can operate the SafeZone safety laser scanner in stationary horizontal
operation with 50 mm or with 70 mm resolution. For each resolution you
can choose between 60 ms and 120 ms response time. The maximum
protective safety field range for the SafeZone safety laser scanner is given by
the resolution and the response time.
• If you choose a 50 mm resolution, the maximum protective safety field
range is less than for a 70 mm resolution, however you can mount the
SafeZone safety laser scanner as low as required.
• If you choose a 70 mm resolution, you can configure the largest
protective safety field range (5 m) but must position the scan plane of
the SafeZone multizone safety laser scanner at 300 mm.
AT TE N TI O N
Ensure that a human leg can be
detected in horizontal stationary
applications with 70 mm resolution.
Mount the scan planes for horizontal
stationary applications with 70 mm
resolution at a height of at least 300
mm (see “Height of the scan plane at
70 mm resolution” on page 26).
RecommendationDue to the choice of two resolutions and
two response times, it may be necessary to
repeatedly calculate the protective safety
field size (iterative calculation).
Perform your protective safety field calculation initially based on a
resolution of 50 mm and a basic response time of 60 ms.
If the calculated protective safety field is larger than the maximum
protective safety field range at 50 mm resolution, calculate it again using
the same resolution and the higher response time.
If the protective safety field calculated is larger than the maximum
protective safety field range achievable, then re-calculate the protective
safety field with the lower resolution.
The safety distance S depends on:
• Approach speed of the body or parts of the body
• Stopping/run-down time of the machine or system
(The stopping/run-down time is shown in the machine
documentation or must be determined by taking a measurement.)
• Response time of the SafeZone safety laser scanner
• Supplements for general measurement errors and any measurement
errors related to reflection
• Supplement for prevention of reaching over
• Height of the scan plane
• Possibly the time for switching between the monitoring cases
Calculation of the safety distance S:
First, calculate S using the following formula:
S = (K x (TM + TS )) + ZG + ZR + C
Where...
K = Approach speed (1600 mm/s, defined in EN 999)

AT T EN T IO N
Avoid mounting retroreflectors at a
distance of less than one meter from
the boundary of the protective safety
field.
With retroreflectors positioned at a
distance of less than 1 m from the
boundary of the protective safety field
a supplement, ZR, of 200 mm must be
added to the protective safety field.
Supplement C for protection against reaching over
With a protective safety field installed horizontally, there is a risk that
people may reach over the prote ctive safety field and in this way reach the
hazardous area before the SafeZone safety laser scanner shuts down the
hazardous motion. For this reason the calculation of the safety distance
must take into account a supplement to prevent persons from finding
themselves in a hazardous situation by reaching over the protective safety
field (see EN 294, table 1) before the SafeZone safety laser scanner
detects the intrusion to the protective safety field.

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

mount it higher than 300 mm.
Prevent people from being able to crawl
beneath the protective safety field by
means of appropriate mounting of the
SafeZone safety laser scanner. If you
mount the protective device higher
than 300 mm, then prevent crawling
beneath by means of additional
measures. For applications that are
accessible to the public, the mounting
height may need to be reduced to 200
mm (see the appropriate public
regulations).
How to calculate the supplement C:
If there is enough empty space in front of your machine or equipment,
use 1200 mm for the supplement C.
If the safety distance is to be kept as small as possible, calculate C
using the following formula :
C = 1200 mm - (0.4 x H

is not possible.
IMPORTANT
Prevent crawling beneath the recess by
limiting the height of the recess such
that nobody can crawl beneath.
4.2 Stationary Vertical Operation for Access
Protection
Access protection can be used when the access to the machine can be
defined by physical means. For access protection the SafeZone safety
laser scanner detects the entry of an entire body.
IMPORTANT
To ensure adequate access protection,
a response time of ~ 90 ms and a
resolution of 150 mm or finer is
required.
To protect the SafeZone multizone
scanner against inadvertent
adjustment or manipulation, use the
contour of the surrounding area as a
reference (see Section 3.4.3 “Using the
contour of the protective safety field as
a reference” on page 12).

Fit the hard guard such that the areas not covered by the safety laser
scanner are completely protected against personnel standing in them.
Mounting in a recess
Figure 27: Form of the recess
Design the recess to be sufficiently deep enough that it
completely covers the area not protected by the safety laser
4.2.1 Safety distance
For access protection, a safety distance (S) must be maintained between
protective safety field and hazardous area. This safety distance ensures
that the hazardous point can only be reached after the dangerous state of
the machine has been completely stopped.
Figure 28: Access protection

SafeZone™ Safety Laser Scanner User Manual
The safety distance S as defined in EN 999 and EN 294
depends on:
• Reach or approach speed
• Stopping/run-down time of the machine or system
(The stopping/run-down time is shown in the machine
documentation or must be determined by taking a measurement.
On request Rockwell safety services can perform a detailed stopping/
run-down measurement on your equipment.)
• Response time of the SafeZone safety laser scanner
• Supplement C against reaching through
Calculation of the safety distance S:
First, calculate S using the following formula:
S = (K x (TM + TS )) + C
Where...

C
Response time TS of the SafeZone safety laser scanner
AT TE N TI O N
The overall response time of the
SafeZone safety laser scanner must not
be more than 90 ms for access
protection.
If a critical response time is exceeded (for
an object diameter of 150 mm and a
speed of 1.6 m/s that is 90 ms) a person
may no longer be detected under
certain circumstances. The critical
response time is exceeded if the basic
response time is too high, possibly due
to multiple sampling or due to the
usage of external OSSDs.
In specific cases agreed with the
responsible authorities higher response
times may be allowed (for example by
increasing the detection time available
by positioning the scanner at an angle).
In this case ensure that the areas the
scanner cannot see are protected by
additional measures.
The response time TS of the SafeZone safety laser scanner depends on
• The multiple sampling used.
• The transmission speed to external OSSDs over communication lines.
See Section 11.2 “OSSD response times” on page 42.
4.3 Stationary vertical operation for
hazardous point protection
Hazardous point protection is necessary if the operator must remain near
the dangerous state of the machine. Hand protection must be released for
hazardous point protection.
IMPORTANT
AT T EN T IO N
• To protect the protective device against inadvertent adjustment or
manipulation, use the contour of the surroundings as a reference for
the SafeZone safety laser scanner (see Section 3.4.3 “Using the
contour of the protective safety field as a reference” on page 12).
4.3.1 Safety distance
For hazardous point protection, a safety distance must be observed
between protective safety field and hazardous point. This safety distance
ensures that the hazardous point can only be reached after the dangerous
state of the machine has been completely stopped.
You can operate the SafeZone multizone safety laser scanner with 30 mm
or 40 mm resolution for hazardous point protection. At each resolution
you can choose a response time between 60 ms and 120 ms (due to the
proximit y of the hazardous point in the majority of cases only the shorter
response time can be used). The maximum protective safety field range
and the minimum distance to the hazardous point is given by the
resolution and the response time.
• If you choose 30 mm resolution, the protective safety field that can be
configured is smaller (for smaller hazardous points to be protected),
however you can mount the SafeZone multizone safety laser scanner
nearer to the hazardous point.
• If you choose 40 mm resolution, the protective safety field that can be
configured is larger (thus for larger hazardous points to be protected),
however you must mount the SafeZone multizone safety laser scanner
further away from the hazardous point.
AT T EN T IO N
To provide hand protection with
hazardous point protection a
resolution of at least 40 mm is require d.
The SafeZone multizone safety laser
scanner provides a maximum
resolution of 30 mm.
Never use the SafeZone safety laser
scanner for applications in which finger
protection is required
Due to the maximum resolution of 30
mm, the SafeZone safety laser scanner
is not suitable for finger protection.
Danger due reaching around or
reaching behind.
Always mount the scanner such that
reaching around and behind is
impossible. Provide suitable additional
precautions as necessary.

If the result S is ≤ 500 mm, then use the determined value as the safety
distance.
If the result S > 500 mm, you may be able to reduce the safety
distance using the following calculation:

Response time of the SafeZone safety laser scanner
The response time TS of the SafeZone safety laser scanner depends
on
•The resolution used
• The multiple sampling used
See Section 11.2 “OSSD response times” on page 42.
4.4 Mobile applications
If the dangerous state is produced by a vehicle (e.g. AGV or fork lift), the
hazardous area that is produced by the movement of the vehicle is
protected by the SafeZone safety laser scanner.
IMPORTANT
For a horizontally mounted mobile application, determine:
• Protective safety field length
• Protective safety field width
• Height of the scan plane
• Restart configuration
• Methods of preventing unprotected areas
4.4.1 Protective safety field length
You must configure the protective safety field such that a safety distance to
the vehicle is maintained. This ensures that a vehicle monitored by the
SafeZone safety laser scanner comes to a stop before a person or object is
reached.
The SafeZone safety laser scanner may
only be used to protect vehicles
powered by electric motor.
Due to the movement of the SafeZone
safety laser scanner in a mobile
application, a resolution of 70 mm is
sufficient for the detection of people.
In the following calculations only take
into account the velocity of the vehicle,
not the speed of the person walking.
This is based on an understanding that
the person will recognize the danger
and stand still.
If the application is to protect vehicles
from collisions, then it will be necessary
to establish guidelines. These are
application specific and can therefore
not be described within this manual.
Contact the relevant authorities and
clarify the guidelines that must be
taken into account with regard to your
application.

4.4.4 Methods of preventing unprotected areas
When the SafeZone safety laser scanner is mounted on a plane surface,
there are areas in front of the mounting surface that are not covered by
the safety laser scanner.
Figure 36: Unprotected areas for mobile applications
These unprotected areas become larger if you mount the SafeZone
safety laser scanner using mounting kits.
Table 11: Unprotected areas
Mounting MethodSize of the Unprotected Areas
Direct mounting109 mm
With mounting kit 1112 mm
With mounting kit 1 and 2127 mm
With mounting kit 1, 2 and 3142 mm
AT TE N TI O N
Secure the unprotected areas.
If a vehicle is accelerated to a maximum
velocity of 0.3 m/s in less than three
seconds when in operation, you must
prevent personnel from entering the
unprotected areas by means of
mechanical trim panels, switch strips or
fitting the SafeZone safety laser scanner
in the vehicle trim panels.
Fitting in the vehicle trim
Build the SafeZone safety laser scanner into the vehicle trim such that the
unprotected areas are ≤ 70 mm and the SafeZone safety laser scanner
projects a maximum of 109 mm beyond the front of the vehicle. The
vehicle may then be accelerated to a velocity of 0.3 m/s within a second.
SafeZone™ Safety Laser Scanner User Manual
Figure 37: Fitting the SafeZone safety laser scanner in the vehicle trim
Additionally, protect the area near to the scanner (5 cm wide area in front
of the front screen) using a proximity switch with 5 cm acquisition range.
Otherwise make the area near the scanner impassable with a bar or a
recess. The vehicle may then be accelerated as required.
IMPORTANT
Note that the system must be fitted e.g.
in a trim panel without impairing the
optical beam path. The attachment of
an additional front screen is thus not
permitted. Any slot for the field of view
must be adequately sized (see Fig. 69 in
Section 11.5 “Dimensional drawings” on
page 50).
RecommendationIf, when observing all necessary safety
precautions, you are able to avoid the use of
a restart interlock, you will increase the
availability of your vehicle.
4.5 Timing for monitoring case switching
If you switch between several monitoring cases, along with the safety
distance to the dangerous state there is a further safety-relevant aspect that
you must address.
If you can switch within 10 or 20 ms, the chosen protective safety field is
available within the response time of the SafeZone safety laser scanner. For
this reason you can initiate the switching at the time at which you actually
want to switch from one monitoring case to the other.
However, you must advance the timing of the switching if you
• Have entered an input delay for your switching method (see “Input
delay” on page 17).
• Control external OSSDs instead of the internal OSSDs The
following diagram shows the relationships:

advanced.
• If an input delay for the control inputs needs to be taken into account
(cf. ), the timing for the switching
must be advanced by the

input delay.
• If external OSSDs are used, the timing for the switching

must
be further advanced by 20 ms (cf. ().
AT TE N TI O N
Define the timing for the switching
such that the SafeZone safety laser
scanner already detects a person in the
protective safety field before the
dangerous state occurs.
At the time of the switching there may
be personnel in the protective safety
field. Only by means of switching in the
correct time frame (i.e. before the
hazard occurs at this point for the
person) is protection provided.

Note: For the movement to the left, that is for the switching to the
monitoring case , the same applies.
How far you must advance the timing for the switching
depends on
• The input delay your switching method requires to provide the input
condition for case switching (see “Input delay” on pag e 17).
IMPORTANT
In the phases before and after the
switching, the safety distances
calculated for the individual
monitoring cases apply on their own.
The considerations above serve only
for the selection of the optimal timing
of the switching.

exactly defined, e.g. due to the variable
processing speed of the machine, or if
advancing of the timing results in

Special features to note during
mounting:
Mount the SafeZone safety laser
scanner such that it is protected from
moisture, dirt and damage.
Ensure that the front screen field of
view is not restricted.
Mount the scanner such that the
indicators are easy to see.
Always mount the SafeZone safety laser
scanner such that you can plug in and
remove the system connection.
Avoid excessive shock and vibration
loading on the safety laser scanner.
On applications that suffer from heavy
vibration, prevent the mounting
screws from coming loose using screw
locking devices.
Regularly check the tightness of the
mounting screws.
Prevent personnel from being able to
crawl beneath, stand behind or climb
over the protective safety field by
means of appropriate mounting of the
SafeZone safety laser scanner.
• Mounting with mounting kit 1, 2, and 3
The mounting kits build one on another. For mounting with kit 2 you will
therefore also need kit 1. For fixing with mounting kit 3 you will therefore
also need mounting kits 1 and 2. You will find the part numbers for the
mounting kits in Section 12.2 “Accessories and replacement parts” on page
53.
IMPORTANT
Observe the maximum torque of the
fastening hardware for the SafeZone
M6 on rear = 12 km max
M8 on side = 16 km max
Direct mounting
The SafeZone safety laser scanner has four threaded holes M6 x 8 on its
rear face. Using these holes you can directly mount the SafeZone safety
laser scanner by drilling through the mounting surface from the rear.
Figure 41: Threaded holes for direct mounting
Figure 40: Prevent crawling beneath, standing behind, climbing over
The origin of the scan plane is 63 mm above the bottom edge of the
SafeZone safety laser scanner. If you mount the SafeZone safety laser
scanner using mounting kit 3, then the origin of the scan plane is 102 mm
above the bottom edge of mounting kit 3 (see Section 11.5.3 “Scan plane
origin” on page 51).
There are four possible ways of mounting the SafeZone safety laser
scanner:
• Direct mounting without mounting kit
• Mounting with mounting kit 1
• Mounting with mounting kit 1 and 2
RecommendationUse mounting kit 1. This will make the
device easier to remove.

On completion of mounting, you must affix the self-adhesive label
Important information supplied with the SafeZone safety laser scanner:
- Use only the information label in the language which the
operators of the machine understand.
- Affix the label such that it is clearly visible for the users/
operators during operation. The label must not be
covered even after additional items have been mounted.
4.6.6 Using multiple SafeZone safety laser scanners
The SafeZone safety laser scanner is so designed that mutual interference
between several scanners is unlikely. To completely exclude erroneous
switching, you must mount the scanners as shown in the following
examples.
IMPORTANT
Use the mounting kits 1 to 3 to adjust the scanners to different angles
(see Section 12.2 “Accessories and replacement parts” on page 53).
In all circumstances observe EN 999.
4.6.4 Mounting with mounting kit 3
With the aid of mounting kit 3 (only in conjunction with mounting kits
1 and 2) you can mount the SafeZone multizone safety laser scanner such
that the scan plane is parallel to the mounting surface. This enables stable
floor mounting or ensures that mounting kit 2 remains precisely
adjustable cross-wise on uneven wall surfaces.

From experience 20 to 30 cm spare cable at the
scanner have proven to adequate. In this way
you avoid the inadvertent connection of the
system connector to an adjacent SafeZone
safety laser scanner and operation of a SafeZone
safety laser scanner with an incorrect
configuration. The spare cable enables you to
easily change out the SafeZone safety laser
scanner.

If major changes have been made to the machine or the protective
device, or if the safety laser scanner has been modified or repaired,
check the equipment again as per the checklist in the annex (see Section
13.1 “Manufacturer’s checklist” on page 54).
8.2.3 Daily testing of the protective device by a
specialist or authorized personnel
The effectiveness of the protective device must be checked daily by a
specialist or by authorized personnel. The test must also be performed if
the operating mode is changed.
AT TE N TI O N
No further operation if errors occur
during the test.
If any one of the following points is not
met, it is not permitted to continue to
work on the machine or operate the
vehicle. In this case the installation of
the SafeZone multizone safety laser
scanner must be checked by
specialized personnel (see Section
8.2.2 “Regular inspection of the
protective device by qualified
personnel” on page 37).
The test must be carried out for the relevant preset monitoring case.
Check the mechanical installation to ensure that all mounting screws
are secure and that the SafeZone safety laser scanner is properly aligned.
Check each SafeZone safety laser scanner device for visible changes such
as damage, manipulation etc.
Switch on the machine/equipment.
Watch the LEDs on each SafeZone safety laser scanner.
If at least one LED is not permanently lit when the machine/equipment
is switched on, it is to be assumed that there is a fault in the machine or
equipment. In this case the machine must be shut down immediately
and checked by a specialist.
Deliberately obstruct the protective safety field without risk to any
personnel while the machine is running in order to test the effectiveness
of the entire system.
The LEDs of the SafeZone safety laser scanner device must change from
green to red and the hazardous movement must stop immediately.
Repeat this test at different points in the dang er area and on all SafeZone
multizone safety laser scanner devices. If you discover any nonconformance of this function, the machine/equipment must be shut
down immediately and checked by a specialist.
For stationary applications, check that the danger area marked out on
the floor matches the shape of the protective safety field stored in the
SafeZone safety laser scanner and that any gaps are protected by
additiona l protective measures . In the case of mobile applications, check
that the moving vehicle actually stops at the field limits which are set in
the SafeZone safety laser scanner and listed on the information label in
the vehicle or in the configuration protocol. If you discover any nonconformance of this function, the machine/equipment/vehicle must be
stopped immediately and checked by a specialist.
8.3 Re-commissioning
If the SafeZone safety laser scanner has previously been commissioned, but
the device replaced, the SafeZone safety laser scanner automatically reads
the saved configuration from the system connector. In this way acceptance
by a specialist is not necessary. However, the test in accordance with the
regulations for the daily test must be performed (see Section 8.2.3 “Daily
testing of the protective device by a specialist or authorized personnel” on

The SafeZone safety laser scanner is
receiving no measured values within
a range of at least 90° (measuring
range maximum 49 m), it thus is not
detecting any obstacles such as e.g.
building walls.
Device is saturated by infrared light
Temperature error. The operating
temperature of the SafeZone safety
laser scanner has exceeded the
permissible range.

² Check the wiring and rectify the
error.
² Check the complete wiring of the
OSSDs.
² For the correct function of the
safety laser scanner, always
ensure that measured values are
received within a range of 90°;
this range can be moved as
required within the scan range.
² Check whether the SafeZone
safety laser scanner is being
saturated by an external l ight
source, e.g. headlight, infrared
light sources, stroboscopic light,
sun etc.
If necessary, re-mount the
device.
² Check whether the SafeZone
safety laser scanner is operated
as per the permissible ambient
conditions.
² Verify that the machine-side EDM
is connected correctly.
² Check the wiring for short-
circuits.
² Check the path of the vehicle.

11.3 Timing behavior of the OSSDs
The SafeZone safety laser scanner tests the OSSDs immediately after
switching on and then at regular intervals. For this purpose the SafeZone
safety laser scanner briefly switches off both OSSDs (for 300 μs) and
checks whether the channels are electrically isolated during this period.
IMPORTANT
Ensure that the input electronics on
your machine or equipment do not
react to this test pulse and therefore
shut down the machine or equipment.

Multiple sampling
The SafeZone safety laser scanner is always set to a minimum of two times
multiple sampling. From a multiple sampling of three you must add a
supplement to the response time. The related supplement is dependent on
the basic response time and the multiple sampling.

Approx. 15 ms after the switch on of the OSSDs, the SafeZone safety
laser scanner performs the first voltage test and then after a half basic
response time (see “Basic response time for various resolutions” on page
43) performs a second voltage test .
After a further half basic response time of the SafeZone safety laser
scanner there is a shut-down test , 120 ms later a further voltage test .
Then the SafeZone safety laser scanner performs a shut-down test and a
voltage test alternately at an interval of 120 ms. Figure 66, Figure 67 and
Figure 68 show the pulse durations for the individual tests.
