1.4 Checklists
The checklists serve as a reference for the machine manufacturer or supplier (see chapter 12 "Testing").
They replace neither testing of the complete machine or system prior to the initial start-up nor their periodic
testing by a competent person. The checklists contain minimum testing requirements. Depending on the
application, other tests may be necessary.

Safety
Leuze electronic GmbH + Co. KG RSL 450P 10
2 Safety
Before using the safety sensor, a risk assessment must be performed according to valid standards (e.g.
ENISO12100, ENISO13849-1, IEC/EN61508, ENIEC62061). The result of the risk assessment deter-
mines the required safety level of the safety sensor (see chapter 16.1 "Safety-relevant technical data"). For
mounting, operating and testing, this document as well as all applicable national and international stan-
dards, regulations, rules and directives must be observed. Relevant and supplied documents must be ob-
served, printed out and handed to affected persons.
ÄBefore working with the safety sensor, completely read and observe the documents applicable to your
task.
In particular, the current version of the following national and international legal regulations apply for com-
missioning, technical tests and handling of safety sensors:
• Machinery Directive
• Low Voltage Directive
• Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive
• Use of Work Equipment Directive
• Directive on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equip-
ment
• OSHA
• Safety regulations
• Accident-prevention regulations and safety rules
• Ordinance on Industrial Safety and Health and employment protection act
• Product Safety Law (ProdSG)
NOTICE
For safety-related information you may also contact local authorities (e.g., industrial inspec-
torate, employer's liability insurance association, labor inspectorate, occupational safety and
health authority).
2.1 Intended use
The safety sensor protects persons or body parts at points of operation, danger zones or access points of
machines and systems.
WARNING
A running machine may result in serious injury!
ÄMake certain that the safety sensor is correctly connected and that the protective function of
the protective device is ensured.
ÄMake certain that, during all conversions, maintenance work and inspections, the system is
securely shut down and protected against being restarted.
• The safety sensor may only be used after it has been selected in accordance with the respectively ap-
plicable instructions and relevant standards, rules and regulations regarding labor protection and safety
at work, and after it has been installed on the machine, connected, commissioned, and checked by a
competent person (see chapter 2.3 "Competent persons").
• When selecting the safety sensor it must be ensured that its safety-related capability meets or exceeds
the required Performance Level PLr ascertained in the risk assessment (see chapter 16.1 "Safety-rele-
vant technical data").
• The safety sensor may only be used in North America in applications that satisfy the requirements
specified by NFPA79.
• With the “access guarding” function, the safety sensor detects persons only when they enter the danger
zone but cannot tell whether there are any persons inside the danger zone. For this reason, a start/
restart interlock in the safety chain is essential in this case.
• The construction of the safety sensor must not be altered. When manipulating the safety sensor, the
protective function is no longer guaranteed. Manipulating the safety sensor also voids all warranty
claims against the manufacturer of the safety sensor.

Safety
Leuze electronic GmbH + Co. KG RSL 450P 11
• The safety sensor must be inspected regularly by a competent person to ensure proper integration and
mounting (see chapter 16.1 "Safety-relevant technical data").
• The safety sensor must be exchanged after a maximum of 20 years. Repairs or the exchange of wear
parts do not extend the mission time.
CAUTION
Observe intended use!
The protection of personnel and the device cannot be guaranteed if the device is operated in a
manner not complying with its intended use.
ÄOnly operate the device in accordance with its intended use.
ÄLeuzeelectronicGmbH+Co.KG is not liable for damages caused by improper use.
ÄRead these operating instructions before commissioning the device. Knowledge of the oper-
ating instructions is an element of proper use.
NOTICE
Comply with conditions and regulations!
ÄObserve the locally applicable legal regulations and the rules of the employer's liability insur-
ance association.
2.1.1 Vapors, smoke, dust, particles
Vapors, smoke, dust and all particles visible in the air can cause the machine to switch off unintentionally.
This can mislead the user into bypassing the safety devices.
ÄDo not use the safety sensor in environments in which heavy vapors, smoke, dust or other visible parti-
cles occur at the beam level.
2.1.2 Stray light
Light sources can impair the safety sensor's availability. Interfering light sources are:
• Infrared light
• Fluorescent light
• Strobe light
ÄEnsure that there are no interfering light sources at beam level.
ÄPrevent reflective surfaces at beam level.
ÄWhere applicable, take protective field addition distances into account.
ÄImplement all additional measures to ensure that any special application of any effected beam types
does not impair the safety sensor's operation.
2.1.3 Obstructions in the protective field
ÄDo not bring any additional window materials into the area monitored by the safety sensor.
NOTICE
No screen between optics cover and monitoring area!
ÄBetween the optics cover of the safety sensor and the monitored area, no further screen
may be mounted to protect the safety sensor.

Safety
Leuze electronic GmbH + Co. KG RSL 450P 12
2.2 Foreseeable misuse
Any use other than that defined under "Intended use" or which goes beyond that use is considered im-
proper use.
In principle, the safety sensor is not suitable as a protective device for use in the following cases:
• Danger posed by ejected objects or the spraying of hot or hazardous liquids from within the danger
zone.
• Applications in explosive or easily flammable atmospheres.
• Use for outdoor applications or under extreme temperature fluctuations.
Humidity, condensation and other weather influences can impair the protective function.
• Use on vehicles with combustion engines.
Alternators and ignition systems can cause EMC interferences.
NOTICE
Do not modify or otherwise interfere with the safety sensor!
ÄDo not carry out modifications or otherwise interfere with the safety sensor. The safety sen-
sor must not be tampered with and must not be changed in any way.
ÄThe safety sensor must not be opened. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
ÄThe construction of the safety sensor must not be altered. When manipulating the safety
sensor, the protective function is no longer guaranteed.
ÄManipulating the safety sensor voids all warranty claims against the manufacturer of the
safety sensor.
ÄRepairs must only be performed by Leuze electronic GmbH + Co. KG.

3.1.1 Protective function of RSL400 safety sensors
The safety sensor transmits periodic light pulses via a rotating deflection unit. The light pulses are scattered
in all directions by obstacles, e.g. persons. A part of the light pulses is received again by the safety sensor
and evaluated. The safety sensor calculates the precise position of the object from the propagation time of
the radiated light and the current angle of the deflection unit at that time. If the object is within a predefined
area, the protective field, the safety sensor performs a safety-related switching function. It switches the
safety-related switching outputs off.
Only when the protective field is free again does the safety sensor reset the safety-related switching func-
tion, either automatically or following acknowledgment, depending on the operating mode.
The safety sensor can even detect people when they are wearing very dark clothes, which have a very
weak diffuse reflectance.

3.2 USB connection
The safety sensor features a Mini-B type USB socket as a service interface for configuration and diagnosis.
This interface can be used with a device firmware version V4.5 and higher.
NOTICE
ÄUse the USB connection only temporarily for configuration or diagnosis of the safety sensor.
ÄFor permanent connection, connect the safety sensor to the Ethernet connection of the con-
nection unit.
NOTICE
ÄAfter use, seal the USB connection using a protection cap. Make sure that the protection
cap is felt to engage when sealing. The IP degree of protection specified in the technical
data is only achieved when the protection cap is closed.
3.3 Connection units
The safety sensor is mounted, connected and aligned using the connection unit.
Functions of connection unit:
• Attachment point for mounting, either directly or using an optional mounting system.
When devices are swapped out, the connection unit remains mounted and aligned.
• EMC wiring for signal inputs/outputs and supply using connection cable
• Connector bushing and EMC for the Ethernet TCP/IP communication and configuration interface to the
PC/laptop
• Memory for the configuration files and automatic parameter transfer in the event of device swap-out
• Quick-release connection to the scanner unit for easy device swap-out (see "Quick Start Guide
RSL400").
NOTICE
To ensure the IP protection and leak tightness of the devices, the supplied protection caps must
always be placed on unused connections.
