2 On safety
This chapter deals with your own safety and the safety of the system operators.
Please read this chapter carefully before working with the S300 Mini or with the
machine protected by the S300 Mini.
2.1 Qualified safety personnel
The S300 Mini safety laser scanner must be installed, connected, commissioned and
serviced only by qualified safety personnel. Qualified safety personnel are defined as
persons who
due to their specialist training and experience have adequate knowledge of the power-
driven equipment to be checked
and
have been instructed by the responsible machine owner in the operation of the machine
and the current valid safety guidelines
and
are sufficiently familiar with the applicable official health and safety regulations, direc-
tives and generally recognized engineering practice (e.g. DIN standards, VDE stipula-
tions, engineering regulations from other EC member states) that they can assess the
work safety aspects of the power-driven equipment
and
have access to these operating instructions and have read them.
As a rule these are qualified safety personnel from the ESPE manufacturer or also those
persons who have been appropriately trained at the ESPE manufacturer, are primarily
involved in checking ESPE and are allocated the task by the organization operating the
ESPE.
Note
2.2 Applications of the device
The S300 Mini safety laser scanner is used to protect persons and systems. It is intended
to be used to monitor hazardous areas indoors.
It is not allowed to use the S300 Mini outdoors.
The S300 Mini cannot provide protection from parts thrown out of the machine or emitted
radiation.
The S300 Mini complies with the requirements in the standard on the radiated emissions
as defined for class A (industrial application); the S300 Mini is therefore only suitable for
use in an industrial environment.
The device is a type 3 ESPE as defined by EN 61496<1 and CLC/TS 61496<3 and is
therefore allowed for use with category 3 PL d controls as per EN ISO 13849<1 or SIL2 as
per IEC 61508.
The S300 Mini is suitable for:
hazardous area protection
hazardous point protection
access protection
vehicle protection (electrically powered industrial trucks)
Depending on the application, other protective devices and measures may be required in
addition to the safety laser scanner.

On safety
S300 Mini
The notes, in particular the test notes (see chapter 9 “Commissioning” on page 92) in
these operating instructions (e.g. on use, mounting, installation or integration into the
machine control) must be observed.
Changes to the configuration of the devices can degrade the protective function. After
every change to the configuration you must therefore check the effectiveness of the
protective device. The person who makes the change is also responsible for the correct
protective function of the device. When making configuration changes, please always
use the password hierarchy provided by SICK to ensure that only authorized persons
make changes to the configuration. The SICK service team is available to provide
assistance if required.
The tests must be carried out by qualified safety personnel or specially qualified and
authorized personnel and must be recorded and documented to ensure that the tests
can be reconstructed and retraced at any time.
The operating instructions must be made available to the operator of the machine where
the S300 Mini is used. The machine operator is to be instructed in the use of the device
by qualified safety personnel and must be instructed to read the operating instructions.
To meet the requirements of the relevant product standards (e.g. EN 61496<1), the
external voltage supply for the devices must be able to bridge a brief mains failure of 20
ms. Power supplies according to EN 60204<1 satisfy this requirement. Suitable power
supplies are available as accessories from SICK (see section 13.3 “Accessories/spare
parts” on page 123).
Enclosed with these operating instructions is a checklist for checking by the manufac-
turer and OEM (see section 14.2 “Checklist for the manufacturer” on page 126). Use

3.2 Function
The S300 Mini safety laser scanner operates correctly as a protective device only if the
following conditions are met:
The control of the machine, system or vehicle must be electrical.
It must be possible to transfer the dangerous machine, system or vehicle state to a safe
state using the OSSDs on the S300 Mini Standard at any time, i.e. before a person has
reached the hazardous point or hazardous area.
Or:
It must be possible transfer the dangerous state of the machine, the system or the
vehicle to a safe state at any time using the OSSDs on a safety controller connected to
the S300 Mini Remote or a further safety laser scanner,
The S300 Mini must be mounted and configured such that it detects objects as they
enter the hazardous area (see chapter 5 “Mounting” on page 54 and chapter 9
“Commissioning” on page 92).
The safety laser scanner’s optical path must always remain clear and is not allowed to
be covered by transparent objects such as protective windows, Plexiglas, lenses etc. The
safety laser scanner’s protective function can only be ensured if the contamination
measurement function is not bypassed by such measures.
time-of-flight measurement
by the S300 Mini
3.2.1 Principle of operation
The S300 Mini is an optical sensor that scans its surroundings in two dimensions using
infrared laser beams. It is used to monitor hazardous areas on machines or vehicles.
t
The S300 Mini works on the principle of time-of-flight measurement. It sends out very
short pulses of light (send pulses). At the same time an “electronic stopwatch” is started.
When the light hits an object, it is reflected and received by the safety laser scanner
(receive pulses). From the time between sending and reception (t) the S300 Mini
calculates the distance to the object.

rotation of the S300 Mini
Product description
In the S300 Mini there is also a mirror rotating at constant speed that deflects the light
pulses such that they cover an arc of 270°. In this way an object can be detected in the
protective field within 270°. The first beam of a scan starts at –45° relative to the back of
the safety laser scanner.
The S300 Mini sends a pulse of light with an angular resolution of 0.5° . As a result
resolutions between 30 mm and 150 mm can be achieved .
Due to its active scanning principle, the S300 Mini does not require receivers or reflectors.
This has the following advantages:
Your installation effort is lower.
You can easily adapt the monitored area to the hazardous area on a machine.
In comparison with contact sensors, electro-sensitive scanning is nearly wear-free.

Product description

3.2.2 Field set comprising of protective field and warning field(s)
Protective fields and warning fields form the so-called field set. You can configure these
field sets with the aid of the CDS. The fields can be configured as circular, rectangular or of
arbitrary shape. If the area to be monitored changes, then you can re-configure the
S300 Mini in software without additional mounting effort.
Depending on the variant used (see section 3.3 “S300 Minivariants” on page 19), you can
define up to 16 field sets and save these in the safety laser scanner. In this way you can
switch to a different field set in case of a change in the monitoring situation (see
section 3.2.3 “Monitoring cases of the S300 Mini Remote” on page 19).
You can configure field sets comprising one protective field and one or two warning fields.
The S300 Mini secures the hazardous area on a machine or vehicle. As soon as the safety
laser scanner detects an object in the protective field, it switches the OSSDs to the OFF
state and thus initiates the shutdown of the machine or stop of the vehicle.
protective field and two
warning fields
field
Note
field 1
field 2
You can define the warning fields such that the safety laser scanner detects an object
before the actual hazardous area.
Warning field 1 can be used in particular for vehicle protection to detect an object even
before the actual hazardous area and to slowly retard the movement of the vehicle or bring
it to a standstill. In this way the wear on the brakes on an AGV can be reduced. Warning
field 2 can also be used to trigger a warning signal.
A warning field on all S300 Mini variants is not allowed to be used for tasks related to the
protection of people.
Contour monitoring
In addition to the protective field, the S300 Mini can also monitor a contour (e.g. the floor
in vertical applications).

Note
WARNING
Note
Functions such as restart interlock or EDM, and in particular the shutdown of the danger-
ous movement of a machine, a system or a vehicle, must be implemented using the safety
controller or using the other safety laser scanner.
Addressing of the guest
If two safety laser scanners are operated on an EFI string, then one is the host, the other
the guest. If only one safety laser scanner is operated on an EFI string, then this device is
the host.
All devices involved can be unambiguously identified by the address and information can
be distributed and retrieved using bit assignment (see also Technical Description “EFI —
Enhanced Function Interface”, SICK part no. 8012621).
In an EFI system with two safety laser scanners, set the address of one of the scanners
to guest!
To be able to unambiguously identify a S300 Mini in a system, you must set its address to
host or guest. For this purpose pin 1 is connected to 0 V or 24 V DC (see Tab. 20 on
page 81).
On the host connect pin 1 (H/G) to 0 V DC.
On the guest connect pin 1 (H/G) to 24 V DC.
When the S300 Mini is switched on in an EFI system, the following message appears
briefly on the 7<segment display:
on the S300 Mini host
on the S300 Mini guest
In an EFI system with an S3000 or S300 the S300 Mini must be configured as a guest, it
is never allowed to be configured as host.

3.5.3 S300 Mini Remote in combination with a Flexi Soft safety controller
The Flexi Soft safety controller provides two EFI strings; up to two safety laser scanners
(S3000, S300, S300 Mini) can be connected to each of these strings. It is therefore
possible to realize applications with up to four safety laser scanners (see also
section 7.2.2 on page 85 and section 7.3.6 on page 89).
S3000 in combination with a
Flexi Soft safety controller
The status of the protective and warning fields is transmitted using EFI and can be com-
bined in the Flexi Soft safety controller as required. During this process it does not matter
whether the devices are connected using one or various EFI strings. The signal of the
safety outputs on the Flexi Soft safety controller is transferred, e.g., to a machine or
vehicle control.
The monitoring cases that have been configured in the safety laser scanners can be
switched with the aid of the programmed logic blocks in the Flexi Soft safety controller.
If, e.g. incremental encoders are used for the velocity measurement, then these can be
connected e.g. to an S3000 Expert. The velocity signals are distributed to all safety laser
scanners via EFI.

WARNING
3.5.4 Automatic Configuration Recovery (ACR)
ACR is a function of the Flexi Soft main module. With the aid of this function it is possible
to save the configuration of the devices connected via EFI. With the ACR function acti-
vated, the existing configuration is automatically transferred to the newly connected
scanner in the event of device replacement.
To use the ACR function, a replacement device of the same type (same type code) is
required.
Prerequisites for the usage of the ACR function
Flexi Soft main module FX3-CPU2 or higher
Flexi Soft Designer V1.5.0 or higher
Configuration and Diagnostic Software (CDS) V3.6.8 or higher
It is only possible to change the scanner configuration with ACR deactivated.
If a configuration prepared with the aid of the ACR function is detected, a warning is
displayed in CDS. In this case the ACR function on this EFI string must be deactivated in
Flexi Soft Designer so that the configuration can be changed.
This warning also appears if a device with ACR previously activated is to be used in a
new situation or is to be re-configured.
Check the safety function of the devices!
If the ACR function is activated, it will automatically overwrite the configuration of the
scanner with the configuration saved in the Flexi Soft main module.
After setting up the ACR function and after replacing a scanner, check the safety
function of the devices (see chapter 9 “Commissioning” on page 92).

4 Configurable functions
4.1 System parameters
A name can be assigned to the application configured as well as to the safety laser
scanner(s). The names are saved in the devices after the configuration is transferred. The
name chosen may be, for example, the identifier for the vehicle, system or the machine.
You enter the application name and the names of the safety laser scanners used in the
CDS.
4.1.1 Application name
Enter a name for your application. You can enter a name with a maximum of 16
characters.
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 CDS will be notified that the application name does not match. He may then
exchange these devices for those with the correct application name.
Recommendation
4.1.2 Name of the scanner
Enter a device name for each of the safety laser scanners in the system. You can enter
names with a maximum of 8 characters.
Use meaningful names, e.g. “front” and “rear” for vehicle monitoring. Unique device
names make the subsequent configuration steps easier (for example on allocating the
control inputs or the OSSDs).
On a host/guest system with two safety laser scanners, the device names must always be
different.
4.1.3 User data
You can enter your name in the field Name of the user. You can enter a name with a
maximum of 22 characters. This is then added to the configuration protocol and in the
diagnostics report.
4.1.4 Display direction of the 7?segment display
The depiction of numbers on the 7<segment display can be rotated by 180° with the aid of
the CDS. This is useful, for example, when the S300 Mini must be rotated by 180° owing
to the specific assembly.
If you rotate the numbers of the 7<segment display, the point in the 7<segment display
goes out.
How to determine the display direction of the 7?segment display:
Under 7?segment display, activate the Rotated by 180° option. After the configuration
draft has been transferred to the S300 Mini, the numbers of the 7<segment display are
rotated by 180°.

Note
The warning field can be configured to up to 8 m for all variants and resolutions. The
detection capability within the warning field is dependent on the remission of the objects
to be detected (see section 12.1 on page 105).
4.2.2 Basic response time
The basic response time of the S300 Mini is 80 ms.
You may need to add supplements to the basic response time due to multiple sampling
and data transmission over EFI (see section 12.2 “OSSD response times” on page 106).
4.2.3 Maximum protective field range
Depending on the configured resolution and the variant used (see 4.2.1 “Resolution” on
page 32), the maximum protective field range of the safety laser scanner is shown in the
CDS.
The maximum protective field range of the S300 Mini must be sufficient to cover the
calculated protective field size including the necessary supplements (see section 5.1.1
“Protective field size” on page 56).

The S300 Mini Standard has two universal I/O connections (see section 6.1.1 “Round plug
connector S300 Mini Standard” on page 80). You can configure these two connections for
the following functions:
inactive (factory default setting)
As inputs (it is only possible to select one function per universal I/O connection):
stand-by
external device monitoring (EDM) (see section 4.5.3 on page 37)
resetting the restart interlock (see section 4.6 on page 37)
As outputs (it is possible to select several functions per universal I/O connection, these
functions are linked together using an OR operator):

Stand-by
If, in mobile applications, vehicles are not moved for a time, the OSSDs can be switched to
the OFF state and the laser on the S300 Mini can be switched off. In this way the power
consumption of the device is reduced.
Use this function if, e.g. you use several vehicles and do not move them for a time.
The S300 Mini remains in the stand-by mode as long as the related input information is
present.
4.5 OSSDs
4.5.1 External OSSDs of the S300 Mini Remote
On the S300 Mini Remote you can define in the CDS which external output signal
switching device (OSSD) is switched on a device connected via EFI if there is an object in
the protective field.
The S300 Mini transmits the status of the field sets (protective field/warning fields) via
EFI. The OSSDs on another device connected via EFI have switched.
Connected S300 or S3000: The OSSDs on the second safety laser scanner are switched.
Connected safety controller (e.g. Flexi Soft): The OSSDs on the safety controller are
switched depending on its configuration.
Connected network solution (e.g. safety remote I/O): The information is passed via the
network e.g. to an FPLC that must shutdown the dangerous state.
The status of the protective fields is transmitted using EFI and can be combined in the
Flexi Soft safety controller as required. The signal of the safety outputs on the Flexi Soft
safety controller is transferred, e.g., to a machine or vehicle control.
WARNING
Pay attention to the logical values for the protective field status information on
transfer to the Flexi Soft safety controller!
The status of an evaluated protective field is logical 1 if the protective field is unoccupied,
the status is logical 0 if the protective field is infringed (see section 12.5 “EFI status
information and control commands” on page 115). The status of a protective field that is
not evaluated is always logical 1.
4.5.2 Internal OSSDs of the S300 Mini Standard
If there is an object in the protective field, the internal OSSDs on the S300 Mini Standard
always switch. This can not be configured differently in the CDS.

4.5.3 External device monitoring (EDM) S300 Mini Standard
The EDM checks if the contactors actually de-energize when the protective device is
tripped. If you activate external device monitoring, then the S300 Mini checks the contactors after each interruption of the protective field and prior to the machine restart. The
EDM can so identify if one of the contactors has welded, for instance. In this case the
external device monitoring places the system in a safe operational state and the OSSDs
are not switched back to the ON state.

Note
WARNING
The S300 Mini Remote can only be operated on an S3000/S300 safety laser scanner, on
a Flexi Soft safety controller or on a sens:Control device via EFI. If you need a restart
interlock, then you must configure and install it on this device.
It is imperative that you configure the S300 Mini or the application with restart interlock if the protective field can be left to approach the hazardous point or if a person
cannot be detected by the S300 Mini at every point in the hazardous area!
During the assessment, pay attention to whether the protective field can be left in the
direction of the hazardous point, to areas that are unprotected due to the mounting and
the unprotected near range of the S300 Mini (see section 5.5 “Methods of preventing
unprotected areas” on page 68).

Restart delay for mobile applications
In mobile applications you can configure a restart delay from 2 to 60 seconds on the
S300 Mini. The OSSDs on the S300 Mini switch to the ON state if there is no object in the
protective field for the duration given.
This configuration is only allowed if the protective field cannot be left in the direction of the
hazardous point and if a person can be detected at every point in the hazardous area by
the S300 Mini!

4.7.2 Protective field or warning field suggested by the safety laser scanner
The CDS can suggest the protective field or warning field in the field set editor. The safety
laser scanner scans the visible surrounding contour several times. From the data obtained
the CDS suggests the contour and size of the field. The following figure shows an example
for the reading of a protective field:
Note
WARNING
In those places at which the surrounding contour is smaller than the maximum protective
field range (e.g. at ), the protective field corresponds to the surrounding contour.
The measuring error tolerances for the S300 Mini are automatically subtracted from the
protective field size. As a result the protective field is slightly smaller than the surface
covered .
In those places where the surrounding contour is larger than the protective field range ,
the protective field corresponds to the possible scanning range.
Check the protective field suggested!
The protective field suggested by the CDS is not a replacement for the calculation of the
minimum distance. Calculate the minimum distance and check the effectiveness of the
protective fields prior to commissioning the application!
Pay attention to the descriptions in chapter 5 “Mounting” on page 54, the notes in

For contour monitoring you define a contour segment . The contour segment comprises a
positive and a negative tolerance band.
The OSSDs on the S300 Mini Standard switch to the OFF state or the S300 Mini Remote

the monitored surrounding contour is no longer in the tolerance band (e.g. if the position
of the S300 Mini is changed).
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
warning fields. If, for example, you use the floor as a reference for access protection, you
cannot configure a warning field there. However, you can, e.g., configure a warning field
to the left and right of the contour segment to control a warning signal on approach from
the side.
The contour as reference function and the warning field 2 function are mutually
exclusive.
You define the contour as a reference in the CDS field set editor.

4.8.2 Monitoring case switching via velocity information
When switching the monitoring cases using dynamic control inputs, please note the
following points:
Ensure that the control — using dynamic control inputs (incremental encoder 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 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 5.6 “Time for monitoring case switching” on
page 70).
For monitoring case switching via velocity information (dynamic switching), configure for
each monitoring case the velocity range within which the monitoring case is switched.
Example:
Monitoring case 1 (standstill) –10 … +10 cm/s
Monitoring case 2 (forward movement 1) 11 … 50 cm/s
Monitoring case 3 (forward movement 2) 51 … 100 cm/s
Monitoring case 4 (forward movement 3) 101 … 200 cm/s
Note
The S300 Mini Remote receives velocity information via EFI. It switches to one of the
monitoring cases configured depending on the velocity received.
During the configuration of the monitoring cases in the CDS, you must cover all possible or
allowed velocities of the vehicle. An undefined velocity will result in the S300 Mini
Remote signaling Protective field infringed (useful e.g. for safe maximum velocity
monitoring on vehicles).

How to configure the safety laser scanners in the CDS:
On the Incremental encoder tab for the safety laser scanner to which the incremental
encoders are connected, select the Indicate velocity option.
All safety laser scanners, also the sending devices, must use these velocity signals via EFI.
For this reason activate on all safety laser scanners on the Inputs tab the option Use

mode.
Park mode of the S300 Mini Remote
To switch to the park mode, configure a monitoring case for which the park mode is defined in the CDS.
The S300 Mini Remote needs the response time resulting from the configuration to switch
from the park mode to another monitoring case.
Stand-by mode
In order to switch to the stand-by mode, on the S300 Mini Standard one universal I/O
connection must be configured as stand-by input. (see section 4.4 “Universal I/O
connections of the S300 Mini Standard” on page 35).
On the S300 Mini Remote you can switch to the stand-by mode via EFI (see section 12.5
“EFI status information and control commands” on page 115).
A monitoring case is not occupied by the stand-by mode.

5 Mounting
This chapter describes the preparation and completion of the mounting of the S300 Mini
safety laser scanner.
Mounting requires four steps:
definition of the application and the necessary mounting location for the safety laser
scanner
calculation of the protective field sizes and minimum distances (see EN ISO 13855)
definition of the switching point between monitoring cases (only S300 Mini Remote)
mounting the safety laser scanner with or without mounting kits
No protective function without sufficient minimum distance!
WARNING
Only if you configure the protective field such that there is an adequate minimum distance
to the hazardous area, is protection by the S300 Mini ensured.
Notes
Mount the S300 Mini in a dry place and protect the device from dirt and damage.
Avoid the installation of the S300 Mini in the vicinity of strong electric fields. These can,
e.g., be produced by welding cables, induction cables in the immediate vicinity and also
by mobile telephones operated nearby.
Ensure that there are no obstacles in the area to be monitored in the field of view of the
S300 Mini that could cause interference or shadowing. Such shadowed areas cannot be
monitored by the S300 Mini. 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.
There must not be any condensation on the optics cover. Otherwise the function of the
S300 Mini may be impaired and incorrect switching may occur.
Avoid placing highly reflective objects in the scan plane of the S300 Mini. Examples:
Retroreflectors can affect the measurement results of the S300 Mini. Highly reflective
objects within the protective field can blank a part of the area to be monitored in certain
circumstances.
Mount the S300 Mini such that it is not dazzled by incident sunlight. Do not position
stroboscopic and fluorescent lights or other strong light sources directly in the scan
plane as these may affect the S300 Mini in specific circumstances.
Mark the protective field on the floor, if this is reasonable for the application
(see EN 61496<1, chapter 7).
The following steps are necessary after mounting:
completing the electrical connections (chapter 6 “Electrical installation”)
configuration of the protective field (chapter 8 “Configuration”)
commissioning and checking of the installation (chapter 9 “Commissioning”)
checking the function and safe shutdown (section 9.2 “Test notes”)

5.1.1 Protective field size
The protective field must be so configured that a minimum 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.
If you are using an S300 Mini Remote, you can define several monitoring cases with
different protective fields. In such a case you must calculate the protective field size for all
protective fields used.
You can operate the S300 Mini in stationary horizontal operation with 30, 40, 50 or
70 mm resolution. The maximum protective field range for the S300 Mini is given by the
resolution.
Ensure that a human leg can be detected with 70 mm resolution!
As per EN ISO 13855, mount the scan planes for horizontal stationary applications with
70 mm resolution at least 300 mm above the floor (see “Height of the scan plane at
70 mm resolution” on page 59).

Supplement C for protection against reaching over
With a protective field installed horizontally, there is a risk that people may reach over the
protective field and in this way reach the hazardous area before the S300 Mini shuts down
the dangerous state. For this reason the calculation of the minimum distance must take
into account a supplement to prevent persons from finding themselves in a hazardous
situation by reaching over (see EN ISO 13857) before the S300 Mini triggers.
The necessary supplement for the minimum distance is dependent on the height of the
scan plane for the protective field. At low heights the supplement is larger than at

WARNING
In case of scan planes at a height of more than 300 mm ensure that people cannot
reach the hazardous area by crawling underneath the scan plane!
If you mount the protective device higher than 300 mm, you must 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 (on this subject see the
appropriate regulations).

Notes
To ensure adequate access protection, a response time of 90 ms and a resolution of
150 mm or finer are required.
To protect the protective device against inadvertent adjustment or manipulation, you
must use the contour of the surroundings as a reference for the S300 Mini (see
section 4.7.3 “Using the contour as a reference” on page 43).
5.2.1 Minimum distance
For access protection, a minimum distance (S) must be maintained between protective

Notes
5.4 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 S300 Mini.
The S300 Mini may only be used to protect vehicles powered by electric motor.
In the following calculations only take into account the velocity of the vehicle, not the
speed of the person walking. This is based on the assumption that the person will
recognize the danger and stand still.
For vehicle protection, observe EN 1525 “Safety of industrial trucks. Driverless trucks
and their systems”.
If the application is to protect vehicles from collisions, then you may need to use
different assumptions.
For a horizontally mounted mobile application, determine:
protective field length
protective field width
height of the scan plane
restart behavior

5.4.1 Protective field length
You must configure the protective field such that a minimum distance to the vehicle is
maintained. This ensures that a vehicle monitored by the S300 Mini comes to a stop
before a person or object is reached.
If you are using an S300 Mini Remote, you can define several monitoring cases with
different protective fields. You can switch them statically or dynamically via EFI.
In the case of dynamic switching, the vehicle velocity is determined using incremental
encoders, the monitoring cases are switched as a function of the velocity. In such an
application, the protective field sizes (in particular the protective field length) must be
calculated for all velocities.
How to calculate the protective field length SL(see EN ISO 13
855):
Calculate the necessary protective field length SLusing the formula:
SL=SA+ ZG+ ZR+ ZF+ Z

6 Electrical installation
Switch the entire machine/system off line!
WARNING
The machine/system could unintentionally start up while you are connecting the devices.
Ensure that the entire machine/system is disconnected during the electrical installation.
Connect OSSD1 and OSSD2 separately!
You are not allowed to connect OSSD1 and OSSD2 together, otherwise signal safety will
not be ensured.
Ensure that the machine controller processes the two signals separately.
Downstream contactors must be positively guided and monitored.
Only ever connect one downstream switching element to an OSSD!
Each output signal switching device (OSSD) is only allowed to be connected to one
switching element (e.g. relay or contactor). If several switching elements are required, you
must choose a suitable form of contact duplication.

Prevent the occurrence of a potential difference between the load and the protective
device!
If you connect loads that are not reverse-polarity protected to the OSSDs or the safety
outputs, you must connect the 0 V connections of these loads and those of the corres-
ponding protective device individually and directly to the same 0 V terminal strip. This is
the only way to ensure that, in the event of a defect, there can be no potential difference
between the 0 V connections of the loads and those of the corresponding protective
device.
Notes
Route all cables and connection cables such that they are protected from damage.
Ensure that also the controller connected and all devices related to safety have the
required category as per EN ISO 13849<1 or the required performance level as per
EN ISO 13849<1!
If you use screened cables, lay the screen evenly around the connection terminal.
Ensure that the S300 Mini is adequately protected electrically. You will find the electrical
data necessary for determining the correct fuse in section 12.4 “Data sheet” on
page 110.

6.1 System connection
You will find all the inputs and outputs on the S300 Mini on the round plug connector on
the connecting cable. Connect the S300 Mini using pre-assembled extension cables (see
Tab. 19 on page 80 and Tab. 21 on page 81).
The pin assignments for the round plug connector vary depending on the S300 Mini
variant.
Notes
Notes
All inputs and outputs on the S300 Mini are to be used only in the context specified.
The round plug connectors are coded. If you use plug connectors other than the connec-
tors intended, any claims against SICK AG under the warranty will be rendered void.
Wiring in accordance with EMC regulations
The quality of the shield is essentially dependent on the quality of the connection of the
screen. In principle the best screening action can only be achieved with the connection of
the screen at both ends using large area connections.
If it is not possible to connect the screen via threaded fittings (e.g. on bus nodes),
connect the screen physically close, e.g. to a control cabinet chassis using a metal
clamp.
If you want to operate two safety laser scanners in a system (communication via EFI),
then the same earthing method must be used for both safety laser scanners.
If there is a PE in an installation, it can be used for the connection of the FE. However a
functional earth connection (FE) is never allowed to be used as a PE!
Functional earth
To achieve the specified EMC safety, the functional earth FE must be connected (e.g. to
the vehicle’s or system’s central earth star point).

Notes
Only use relays/contacts with positively guided contacts. The protection elements
connected in parallel with the relays/contactors are used for arc-suppression.
Ensure that there is adequate arc-suppression at the relays/contactors. Take into
account that arc-suppressors may lengthen the response time.
The arc-suppressors must be in parallel with the relays/contactors (not across the
contacts).
If you want to operate two safety laser scanners in a system (communication via EFI),
then the same earthing method must be used for both safety laser scanners.
Sketch key
k1 and k2 or k3 and k4 = output circuits
These contacts are to be connected to the controller such that, with the output circuit
open, the dangerous state is disabled. For categories 3 and 4 according to
EN ISO 13849<1, the integration must be dual-channel (x/y paths). Observe the
maximum values for the loading of the outputs (see section 12.4 “Data sheet” on

9 Commissioning
9.1 Initial commissioning
Commissioning requires a thorough check by qualified safety personnel!
WARNING
Before you operate a system protected by the S300 Mini safety laser scanner for the first
time, make sure that the system is first checked and released by qualified safety
personnel. The result of the test must be documented. Please read the notes in chapter 2
“On safety” on page 10.
Prior to releasing the machine, check whether the access to the hazardous area or the
hazardous point is completely monitored by the protective devices.
Also after approval of the machine, at regular intervals (e.g. in the morning prior to
starting work) check whether the OSSDs (on the S300 Mini, a safety laser scanner
connected or on a safety controller) switch correctly to the OFF state as soon as there is
an object in the protective field. This test should be performed along all protective field
boundaries as per the specific regulations for the application (see section 9.2 “Test
notes” on page 93).

9.2 Test notes
9.2.1 Pre-commissioning tests
The purpose of the pre-commissioning tests is to confirm the safety requirements specified in the national/international rules and regulations (EC conformity). This applies
particularly to the safety requirements in the machinery directive or work equipment
directive.
Ensure that you do not place anybody at risk during initial commissioning of the
machine!
Always expect that the machine, system or the protective device does not yet behave as
you have planned.
Recommendation
Note
Ensure that there are no persons in the hazardous area during initial commissioning.
Check the effectiveness of the protective device mounted to the machine, using all
selectable operating modes as specified in the checklist in the annex (see section 14.2
“Checklist for the manufacturer” on page 126).
Ensure that the operating personnel of the machine protected by the safety laser scanner
are correctly instructed by qualified safety personnel before being allowed to operate the
machine. Instructing the operating personnel is the responsibility of the machine owner.
Ensure that the information label Important information, which is included with the
safety laser scanner on delivery, is affixed to the machine in a place where it is clearly
visible for the operators. Ensure that the operators have the possibility to perform this
daily check correctly.
The annex to this document includes a checklist for review by the manufacturer and
OEM. Use this checklist as a reference before commissioning the system for the first
time (see section 14.2 “Checklist for the manufacturer” on page 126).
Document the adjustment of the safety laser scanner and the results of the testing
during initial commissioning in a traceable manner. For this purpose also print out the
complete configuration of the safety laser scanner (including protective field shapes)
and include these with the documentation.
Use the Create development dump... function in the CDS (right click on the COM
interface to which the safety laser scanner is connected). You can keep these data as a
backup and in this way document the state during initial commissioning at any time.
Your SICK representative will be pleased to provide you with advice on initial commis-
sioning.

WARNING
Commissioning
S300 Mini
9.2.2 Regular inspection of the protective device by qualified safety personnel
Check the system following the inspection intervals specified in the national rules and
regulations. This procedure ensures that any changes on the machine or manipulations
of the protective device after the initial commissioning are detected.
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 system again as per the
checklist in the annex (see section 14.2 “Checklist for the manufacturer” on page 126).
9.2.3 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.
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 S300 Mini must be
checked by qualified safety personnel (see section 9.2.2 “Regular inspection of the
protective device by qualified safety personnel” on page 94).
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 is properly aligned S300 Mini.
Check each S300 Mini device for visible changes such as damage, manipulation etc.
Switch on the machine/system.
Watch the LEDs on each S300 Mini.
If not at least one LED of each S300 Mini is permanently lit when the machine/system is
switched on, it is to be assumed that there is a fault in the machine or system. In this
case the machine must be shut down immediately and checked by qualified safety
personnel.
Deliberately infringe the protective field while the machine is running in order to test the
protective function for the entire system. The LEDs of the S300 Mini must change from
green to red and the dangerous movement must stop immediately. If the S300 Mini,
with the protective field that you are infringing, switches the OSSDs on another device
(see 4.5.1 “External OSSDs of the S300 Mini Remote” on page 36), then on this device
the LEDs must change from green to red and the dangerous movement on the machine
or system connected must come to an immediate stop.
Repeat this test at different points in the hazardous area and on all S300 Mini devices.
If you discover any non-conformance of this function, the machine/system must be shut
down immediately and checked by qualified safety personnel.
For stationary applications, check that the hazardous areas marked out on the floor
match the shapes of the protective fields stored in the S300 Mini and that any gaps are
protected by additional safety measures. In the case of mobile applications, check that
the moving vehicle actually stops in a timely manner at the protective field boundaries
which are set in the S300 Mini and listed on the information label on the vehicle or in
the configuration protocol. If you discover any non-conformance of this function, the
machine/system/vehicle must be stopped immediately and checked by qualified safety
personnel.

Maintenance and care
10 Maintenance and care
Do not make any repairs to the device!
WARNING
Note
The S300 Mini does not contain any repairable components. For this reason do not open
the S300 Mini components and only replace the parts that are described in the following
chapters as replaceable.
Switch the entire machine/system off line!
The system could inadvertently start up while you are replacing the optics cover. As a
matter of principle, always isolate the machine from the power supply during all work on
the machine and safety laser scanner.
10.1 Cleaning optics cover
The S300 Mini safety laser scanner is largely maintenance-free. The optics cover on the
safety laser scanner should however be cleaned regularly and if it is contaminated.
Do not use aggressive cleaning agents.
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents.
Static charges cause dust particles to be attracted to the optics cover. You can diminish
this effect by using the anti-static plastic cleaner (SICK part no. 5600006) and the SICK
lens cloth (part no. 4003353) (see section 13.3 “Accessories/spare parts” on
page 121).
WARNING
Notes
How to clean the optics cover:
Use a clean and soft brush to remove dust from the optics cover.
Moisten the SICK optics cloth with the anti-static plastic cleaner and wipe off the window
for light output on the optics cover with the cloth.
10.2 Replacing the optics cover
Perform an optics cover calibration with the aid of the CDS after the replacement of the
optics cover!
The level of contamination is measured continuously during the operation of the
S300 Mini. For this purpose the optics cover calibration must first be performed; this then
serves as a reference for the contamination measurement (status = not contaminated).
The optics cover calibration is only allowed to be performed with a new optics cover! The
new optics cover must be free of contamination at the time of the optics cover calibration.
The optics cover calibration should be performed at room temperature (10-30 °C)!
If the optics cover is scratched or damaged, you must replace the optics cover. Order the
replacement optics cover from SICK (see section 13.3 “Accessories/spare parts” on
page 121).
The optics cover on the S300 Mini is an optical part that must not be soiled or scratched
on replacement.
The optics cover is only allowed to be replaced by qualified safety personnel in a dust
and dirt-free environment.
Never replace the optics cover during ongoing operation, as internal parts may be
irreparably damaged in certain circumstances and dust particles may enter the device.
