1.4 Checklists
The checklists serve as a reference for the machine manufacturer or supplier (see chapter 11 "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 RSL 430 9
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61508, ENIEC62061). The result of the risk assessment determines
the required safety level of the safety sensor (see chapter 15.1 "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 following national and international legal regulations apply for the commissioning, techni-
cal inspections and work with safety sensors:
• Machinery directive 2006/42/EC
• Low voltage directive 2006/95/EC
• EMC directive 2004/108/EC
• Use of work equipment directive 89/655/EEC supplemented by directive 95/63EC
• OSHA 1910 Subpart O
• 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 15.1 "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 RSL 430 10
• The safety sensor must be inspected regularly by a competent person to ensure proper integration and
mounting (see chapter 15.1 "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 RSL 430 11
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.

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.
3.1.2 Parameters for protective function
The following parameters for switching off the safety-related switching outputs of the safety sensor are
taken into consideration for the protective function:
• Configurable protective fields
• Reference contour of protective fields
• Configurable field pair changeover
• Selectable resolution for hand, leg or body detection
• Safety sensor response time
• Selectable start-up behavior
The following non-safety-oriented functions and signals also belong to the protective function:
• Configurable warning fields
• Configurable indication signals
Additional functions of the protective function
• Warning field evaluation
• Selectable dynamic contactor monitoring (EDM)
• E-Stop
Two protective functions function mode
• The safety sensor can be configured for two independent protective functions.
• If the safety sensor is configured for one protective function, an internal safe time delay can be selected
for switch-off of the second OSSD pair.
3.1.3 Device and monitoring functions
• Monitoring and release of field pair changeover
• Configurable output of the indication signals for the following functions groups:
• Protective function
• Warning messages
• Error messages
• Diagnosis
• Status messages

For error diagnostics, the error's respective letter is displayed first followed by the number code. An
AutoReset is carried out after 10 seconds for errors that do not cause locking, with an unauthorized restart
being impossible. In the case of blocking errors, the voltage supply must be separated and the cause of the
error must be eliminated. Before switching on again, the steps taken before initial commissioning must be
repeated (see chapter 10 "Starting up the device").
When the protective field has been free for about 5 seconds, the device switches back to the display in nor-
mal operation.
Displays in normal operation
The display in normal operation depends on the operating state of the safety sensor. The display can be
switched off or rotated by 180° by means of the software.

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