⋅ Please read this chapter carefully before working with the V200/V300 or with the
machine protected by the V200/V300.
2.1Qualified safety personnel
The V200/V300 safety camera system must only be installed, commissioned and serviced
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 work safety regulations,
directives and generally recognized engineering practice (e.g. DIN standards, VDE
stipulations, engineering regulations from other EU 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 persons
who have been appropriately trained at the ESPE manufacturer, are primarily involved in
checking ESPE and are allocated the task by the organisation operating the ESPE.
The V200/V300 safety camera system is an item of electro-sensitive protective equipment
(ESPE).
The V200/V300 safety camera system can be operated with 3 resolutions. Depending on
the resolution used, the maximum protective field dimensions change:
field dimensions as a
function of the resolution
a
WARNING
Protective field dimensions [m]Resolution
[mm]
200.40 × 0.40 1.00 × 1.00
240.40 × 0.40 1.20 × 1.20
300.60 × 0.60 1.50 × 1.50
The device is a Type 3 ESPE (V300 Work Station Extended) or a Type 2 (V200 Work Station
Extended) according to IEC 61 496-1 and IEC/TR 61 496-4 and is therefore allowed for use
with controls in category 3 according to EN ISO 13 849-1. The device is suitable for
hazardous point protection (hand protection).
Access to the hazardous point must be allowed only through the protective field. As long as
the hazardous point is occupied, the system must not start. Refer to section 3.3
“Application examples” on page 13 for an illustration of the protection modes.
Only use the safety camera system as an indirect protective measure!
An opto-electronic protective device provides indirect protection, e.g. by switching off the
power at the source of the hazard. It cannot provide protection from parts thrown out, nor
from emitted radiation. Transparent objects are not detected.
MinimumMaximumNote
On sizing the protective field the
ratio for the lengths of the sides
must be considered (see section 4.1
“Checking the dimensions of the
protective field” on page 18 ff.)
Depending on the application, mechanical guards may be required in addition to the safety
camera system.
The safety camera system is only intended for use in industrial environments. When used
in residential areas it can cause radio interferences.
2.3Correct use
The V200/V300 safety camera system must be used only as defined in section 2.2
“Applications of the device”. It must be used only by qualified personnel and only on the
machine where it has been installed and initialised by qualified safety personnel in
accordance with these operating instructions.
If the device is used for any other purposes or modified in any way — also during mounting
and installation — any warranty claim against SICK AG shall become void.
Please observe the following procedures in order to ensure the correct and safe use of the
V200/V300 safety camera system.
• The national/international rules and regulations apply to the installation, use and
periodic technical inspections of the safety camera system, in particular:
– Machinery Directive
– Work Equipment Directive
– the work safety regulations/safety rules
– other relevant safety regulations
Manufacturers and operators of the machine on which the safety camera system is used
are responsible for obtaining and observing all applicable safety regulations and rules.
• The notices, in particular the test regulations (see section 7.1 “Test notes” on page 42)
of these operating instructions (e.g. on use, mounting, installation or integration into the
existing machine controller) must be observed.
• The tests must be carried out by qualified safety personnel or specially qualified and
authorised personnel and must be recorded and documented to ensure that the tests
can be reconstructed and retraced at any time.
• 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.
• The light beams from the camera may be deflected by reflective surfaces. This can
result in failure to identify an object. For this reason reflective surfaces on the reflective
tape or in the protective field are not allowed.
• The operating instructions must be made available to the operator of the machine where
the V200/V300 safety camera system is fitted. 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. IEC 61 496-1), the
external voltage supply for the devices (SELV) must be able to bridge a brief mains
failure of 20 ms. Power supplies according to EN 60 204-1 satisfy this requirement.
Suitable power supplies are available as accessories from SICK (see section 12.2
“Accessories” on page 59).
This chapter provides information on the special features and properties of the
V200/V300 safety camera system. It describes the construction and the operating
principle of the device, in particular the different operating modes.
⋅ Please read this chapter before mounting, installing and commissioning the device.
3.1Special features
• V200 Work Station Extended: Type 2 ESPE according to IEC 61 496-1
• V300 Work Station Extended: Type 3 ESPE according to IEC 61 496-1
complies with the requirements for the “Control reliable” safety level.
• protective operation with either internal or external (realised on the machine)
restart interlock
• facility for connecting a reset button
• facility for connecting an external device monitoring (EDM)
The V200/V300 safety camera system comprises a camera as well as a reflective tape
with which the contour to be monitored is defined.
The camera monitors the area bounded by its field of view and the reflective tape – the
protective field – for interruptions. If the V200/V300 detects an interruption in the shape
of the protective field, the camera shuts down its safe outputs.

The mounting of the device is only shown schematically in the following figures for reasons
of simplicity.
For correct mounting, pay attention to the notes in chapter 4 “Mounting” on page 18.
The V200/V300 safety camera system operates correctly as a protective device only if the
following conditions are met:
• The control of the machine must be electrical.
• It must be possible to achieve a safe state on the machine at any time.
• Camera and reflective tape must be so mounted that objects penetrating into the
hazardous area are safely identified by the V200/V300.
• The reset button must be fitted outside the hazardous area such that it cannot be
operated by a person working inside the hazardous area. When operating the reset
button, the operator must have full visual command of the hazardous area.
• The statutory and local rules and regulations must be observed when installing and
using the device.
• The necessary protective field dimensions must not exceed the permitted ratio for the
lengths of the sides (see section 4.1 “Checking the dimensions of the protective field”
on page 18).
This section describes the functions of the V200/V300 safety camera system that can be
configured.

WARNING
protective operation
After each modification to the protective device or its connection, you must check the
whole protective device for effectiveness (see section 7.1 “Test notes” on page 42).
3.4.1Restart interlock
Notes
The V200/V300 has an internal restart interlock. The dangerous state of the machine (1)
is interrupted on a protective field interruption (2), and is not re-enabled (3) until the
operator presses the reset button.
• If you use the V200/V300 without internal restart interlock, then you must implement
the restart interlock externally, i.e. machine-side.
• Do not confuse the restart interlock with the starting interlock on the machine. The
starting interlock prevents the machine starting after switching on. The restart interlock
prevents the machine starting again after an error or an interruption of the light path.
When using the V200/V300, you can implement the restart interlock in two different ways:
• with the internal restart interlock of the V200/V300:
The V200/V300 controls the restart.
• with the restart interlock of the machine (external):
The possible combinations are shown in the following table:

Recommendation
Reset
If you activate the restart interlock on the V200/V300 (internal) and also realise a restart
interlock on the machine (external), then each restart interlock gets its own button.
When actuating the reset button (for the internal restart interlock) …
• the V200/V300 activates the output signal switching devices.
• switches the V200/V300 to green.
Only the external restart interlock prevents the machine from restarting. After pressing the
reset button for the V200/V300, the operator must also press the restart button for the
machine. If the reset button and the restart button are not pressed in the specified
sequence, the dangerous state must remain disrupted.
The reset button prevents the accidental and inadvertent operation of the external restart
button. The operator must first acknowledge the safe state with the reset button.
The electrical connection of the reset button is described in section 5.3 on page 33. The
configuration of the internal restart interlock is described in section 8.2 “Internal restart
interlock” on page 46.
3.4.2External device monitoring (EDM)
The V200/V300 has external device monitoring. If you activate the external device
monitoring, then the V200/V300 checks whether the contactors are actually de-energized
when the protective device triggers. If, after an attempted Reset/restart, the EDM does not
detect a response from the switched device within 300 ms, the EDM will deactivate the
output signal switching devices again. In this case the safety camera system signals as
follows:
• The system remains at red. The status LED Ê O illuminates.
• The status LED É ô Kõ flashes with a short duty cycle
• The diagnostics LED 2 ôKõ flashes with a short duty cycle.
If the system is unable to change to a safe operational state (e.g. after contactor failure),
the system locks and shuts down completely (“lock-out”, see page 50). The electrical
connection for the external device monitoring is described in section 5.3 on page 33. The
configuration of the external device monitoring is described in chapter 8 “Configuration”
on page 44.

This chapter describes the preparation and completion of the mounting of the V200/V300
safety camera system. Mounting requires the following steps:
• checking the dimensions of the protective field (see below)
• determining the minimum distance (see page 20)
• mounting of the camera (see page 24)
• mounting the reflective tape (see page 29)
The following steps are necessary after mounting:
• completing the electrical connections (see chapter 5 on page 31)
• testing the installation (see section 7.1 on page 42)
4.1Checking the dimensions of the protective field
Only use the V200/V300 safety camera system if the ratio allowed for the lengths of
a
WARNING
the sides of the protective field can be met!
If the maximum ratio of the lengths of the sides is exceeded, the safety camera system
may not operate correctly. This would mean that the operator is at risk.
Note
dimensions allowed for a
rectangular protective field
at a resolution of 20 mm
(intermediate values are
allowed)
Applicable to all resolutions:
• The ratio of the lengths of the sides of a protective field monitored must not exceed 2:1.
• If you require a larger protective field than is possible with a single V200/V300, you can
mount two V200/V300 in parallel in opposite directions. In this way you can generate
two overlapping protective fields (see 6.2 “Application with two V200/V300” on
page 39).
4.1.1Protective field dimensions allowed at a resolution of 20 mm
The lengths of the sides of a protective field monitored must not be shorter than 0.40 m
and not longer than 1.00 m.
Shorter side of the
protective field
″ 0.40 m … < 0.50 m= shorter side2 × shorter side
″ 0.50 m … ′ 1.00 m= shorter side1.00 m
Example 1: The shorter side is 0.43 m long. Then the longer side must be at least 0.43 m
and is allowed to be a maximum of 2 × 0.43 m = 0.86 m long.
Example 2: The shorter side is 0.78 m long. Then the longer side must be at least 0.78 m
and is allowed to be a maximum of 1.00 m long.
The safety camera system must be mounted with an adequate minimum distance between
the protective field and the hazardous point. This minimum distance ensures that the
hazardous point can only be reached after the dangerous state of the machine has been
completely stopped.
No protective function without sufficient minimum distance!
a
WARNING
The reliable protective effect of the safety camera system depends on the safety camera
system being mounted with the correct minimum distance from the hazardous point.

WARNING
Note
If mounted vertically, the protective field is from the centre of the camera lens to the edge
of the reflective tape that is closest to the hazardous point. (The reference point for the
minimum distance S is therefore not the middle of the reflective tape. Cf. Fig. 9.)
