1.2 Checklists
The checklists (see chapter 9) serve as a reference for the machine manufacturer or supplier. They
replace neither testing of the complete machine or system prior to initial commissioning nor their periodic
testing by a qualified person (see chapter 2.2). The checklists contain minimum testing requirements.
Depending on the application, other tests may be necessary.
Symbol indicating dangers to persons
NOTE Signal word for property damage
Indicates dangers that may result in property damage if the measures for danger
avoidance are not followed.
CAUTION Signal word for minor injury
Indicates dangers that may result in minor injury if the measures for danger avoid-
ance are not followed.
WARNING Signal word for serious injury
Indicates dangers that may result in severe or fatal injury if the measures for danger
avoidance are not followed.
DANGER Signal word for life-threatening danger
Indicates dangers with which serious or fatal injury is imminent if the measures for
danger avoidance are not followed.

2 Safety
Before using the safety sensor, a risk assessment must be performed according to valid standards (e.g.
EN ISO 14121, EN ISO 12100-1, 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 table 2.1). For mounting, oper-
ating and testing, this document as well as all applicable national and international standards, regulations,
rules and directives must be observed. Relevant and supplied documents must be observed, printed out
and handed to affected persons.
Before 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, tech-
nical inspections and work with safety sensors:
• Machinery directive 2006/42/EC
• Low voltage directive 2006/95/EC
• Electromagnetic compatibility 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

2.1 Intended use and foreseeable misuse
2.1.1 Intended use
• The safety sensor may only be used after it has been selected in accordance with the respectively
applicable 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 competent persons (see chapter 2.2).
• 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.
The following table shows the safety-related characteristic parameters of the MLD 300 and MLD 500
series.
The device is intended for operation in buildings.
For safety-related information you may also contact local authorities (e.g., industrial inspector-
ate, employer's liability insurance association, labor inspectorate, occupational safety and health
authority).
WARNING
A running machine may result in serious injury!
Make certain that the safety sensor is correctly connected and that the protective function of the pro-
tective device is ensured.
Make certain that, during all conversions, maintenance work and inspections, the system is securely
shut down and protected against being restarted.

series
• The safety sensor protects persons at access points or at points of operation of machines and sys-
tems.
• 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.
• 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.
• The safety sensor must be periodically tested by persons with the necessary competence (see
chapter 2.2).
• The safety sensor must be exchanged after a maximum of 20 years. Repairs or the exchange of
parts subject to wear and tear do not extend the mission time.
2.1.2 Using the laser alignment aid
The optional internal laser alignment aid is available for transmitter-receiver systems.
Laser alignment aids must only be switched on for the purpose of alignment or testing the alignment of
transmitters, receivers and deflecting mirror columns.

WARNING
The laser light source corresponds to laser class 2 according to EN 60825-1. Extended looking into the
beam path may damage the eye's retina.
Never look directly into the laser beam or into the direction of reflected beams.
WARNING
Faulty or incorrect alignment may result in an operating fault!
Adjustment work with lasers must be carried out by competent and instructed persons only (see
chapter 2.2).

Safety

Do not switch on the laser if persons are present in the laser path.
Inform persons in the vicinity before embarking on alignment work with lasers.
After switch-on the laser lights up for about 10 minutes. Do not leave the installation site during this time.
Interrupt the laser beam using a non-transparent, non-reflective object if the laser beam has inadver-
tently been pointed at a human.
Note the current legal and local laser protection regulations according to EN 60825-1.
Laser warning signs and notice signs
There are laser warning signs near the laser beam egress point(see figure 2.1).
Attach the supplied self-adhesive notice signs clearly visible at the safety sensor and on the device col-
umn (see figure 2.2).
If used in the U.S., attach the respective notice sign.
2.1.3 Foreseeable misuse
Any use other than that defined under the “Approved purpose” or which goes beyond that use is consid-
ered improper 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
• Reachability of the point of operation by hand from the installation site of the safety sensor
• Detection of the presence of persons in danger zones
