Original instructions
• It must be possible to transfer the dangerous state of the machine, the
equipment or the vehicle to a safe state at any time using the OSSDs
on the SafeZone safety laser scanner after integration in the
controller.
• The SafeZone safety laser scanner must be mounted and configured
such that it detects objects as they enter the hazardous area (see
Section 4 “Installation and mounting” on page 18).
3.2.1 Principles of operation
The SafeZone safety laser scanner is an optical sensor that scans its
surroundings in two dimensions using infrared laser beams. It is used to
monitor a hazardous area on a machine or a vehicle.
Figure 1: Principle of operation, time of flight measurement by the
SafeZone safety laser scanner
The SafeZone safety laser scanner works on the principle of time of flight
measurement . It sends out very short pulses of infrared light (S). At
the same time an “electronic stopwatch” is started. When the light is
reflected off of an object, it is received by the safety laser scanner (E).
From the time between sending and receiving (Δt) the SafeZone
multizone safety laser scanner calculates the distance to the object.
In the SafeZone safety laser scanner there is also a mirror rotating at
constant speed that deflects the light pulses such that they cover an arc
of 190°. By determining the angle of rotation of the mirror, the SafeZone
safety laser scanner determines the direction of the object.
From the measured distance and the direction of the object, the safety
laser scanner determines the exact position of the object.
Figure 2: Principle of operation of the SafeZone safety laser
scanner—light pulses
The SafeZone safety laser scanner uses light pulses precisely radiated in
specific directions. Thus the laser scanner does not continuously cover
the area to be monitored. In this way resolutions of between 30 mm and
150 mm are achieved.
Due to its active scanning principle, the SafeZone safety laser scanner
does not require receivers or reflectors. This has the following
advantages:
• Ease of installation.
• You can easily adapt the monitored area to the hazardous area on a
machine.
• In comparison with contact sensors, there is less wear when electro-
sensitive scanning is used.
3.2.2 Field set comprised of protective safety field and
warning field
Figure 3: Protective safety field and warning field
The protective safety field secures the hazardous area on a machine or
vehicle. As soon as the safety laser scanner detects an object in the
protective safety field, it switches the OSSDs to the off status and thus
initiates the shutdown of the machine or stop of the vehicle.
You can define the warning field such that the safety laser scanner detects
an object before the actual hazardous area and e.g. triggers a warning signal.
The protective safety field and warning field form a pair, the so-called
field set. With the aid of the SCD you can configure these field sets and
transfer them to the SafeZone safety laser scanner. If the area to be
monitored changes, then you can re-configure the SafeZone safety laser
scanner in software without additional mounting effort.
The SafeZone Singlezone has a single configurable field set. The
SafeZone Multizone has up to four configurable field sets. The SafeZone
Multizone allows switching between field sets if the monitoring situation
changes (see Section 3.2.3 “Monitoring cases” below).
3.2.3 Monitoring cases
Four monitoring cases can be defined in the SafeZone multizone and
selected during operation using static control input. Each monitoring
case includes:
• The input conditions, the so-called control signals, that control the
activation of the monitoring case.
• A field set, comprising protective safety field and warning field.
• If necessary, a simultaneous field set without separate outputs.

3.2.4 Device components
The SafeZone safety laser scanner comprises three components:
• The sensor head with the opto-electronic acquisition system
• The I/O module, this defines the functionality of the SafeZone safety
laser scanner
• The system plug with the configuration memory (the system plug
contains all electrical connections)
Figure 5: Sensor head, I/O module and system plug
3.3 Applications
3.3.1 Stationary applications
Hazardous area protection
On dangerous stationary machines, the SafeZone safety laser scanner
switches the output signal switching devices (OSSDs) to the off status if
the protective safety field is interrupted. The SafeZone safety laser
scanner initiates the shutdown of the machine or the shutdown of the
dangerous state.
Figure 6: Hazardous area protection with one monitored area
Hazardous area protection with multiple monitored areas
(position-related protective safety field switching)
Using the SafeZone safety laser scanner, you can define up to four
monitoring cases to match the protective safety field and warning field to
the situation on the machine and to monitor changing hazardous areas~e.g.
during different machine production phases~depending on the situation.
Figure 7: Hazardous area protection with multiple monitored areas
Interior protection
On large machines the SafeZone safety laser scanner can be used to
protect the interior. The machine can only be restarted if the SafeZone
safety laser scanner does not detect any object in the protective safety
field. This is particularly important for interiors that can only be seen
with difficulty from the outside, or cannot be seen at all.

In this application, the SafeZone safety laser scanner only has a secondary
protective function. The primary safety function that stops the dangerous
movement is provided in the example by a light curtain , while the
SafeZone safety laser scanner monitors the restarting of the machine.
Figure 8: Interior protection
Hazardous point protection (vertical protection)
The SafeZone safety laser scanner can also be used vertically. Mounting in this
way requires less space on the machine or equipment. Hazardous point
protection is necessary if the operator is near the dangerous state of the
machine. Hand protection must be configured to protect the hazardous
point.
Figure 9: Protecting hazardous points
Access protection (vertical protection)
You can also use the SafeZone safety laser scanner vertically for access
protection. Access protection can be used when the access to the machine
can be defined by physical means. With access protection the SafeZone
safety laser scanner detects the entry of a person.
Figure 10: Access protection
3.3.2 Mobile applications
The SafeZone safety laser scanner can be used both on manually
controlled vehicles, e.g. fork lift trucks, and also on automated guided
vehicles (AGV) or trolleys.
You can use the SafeZone safety laser scanner on vehicles, e.g. to protect
the route of a vehicle through a factory building. If there is a person or an
obstacle in the hazardous area, the SafeZone safety laser scanner ensures
that the vehicle reduces speed and stops if necessary.

3.3.3 Other applications (not for personnel protection)
Along with safety-related applications, you can also use the SafeZone safety
laser scanner for applications in which people do not need to be protected.
Collision protection
Along with people, you can also protect vehicles from colliding with
other objects.

Protective safety field suggested by the safety laser scanner
You can also have the SCD software suggest a protective safety field. The
safetylaser scanner scans the visible room contour several times. During this
process possible measurement errors are taken into account. From the data
obtained in this way the SCD software determines the contour of the
protective safety field.
Figure 14: Reading protective safety field and warning field
In those places at which the room contour is smaller than the nominal
scanning range (e.g. at ), the protective safety field corresponds to the
room contour (less the measurement tolerances). In those places where
the room contour is larger than the nominal scanning range , the
protective safety field corresponds to the nominal scanning range (4 or
5m).
3.4.2 Application
• Possible resolution for stationary applications:
30 mm (hand detection with smaller safety distance)
- 40 mm (hand detection with larger safety distance)
- 50 mm (leg detection with smaller protective safety field
size)
- 70 mm (leg detection with larger protective safety field
size)
- 150 mm (body detection)
• Possible resolution for mobile application:
- 70 mm (leg detection)
ATTENTION Check the protective safety field
configuration.
Prior to commissioning the machine or
vehicle, check the configuration of the
protective safety fields using the
instructions in Section 8
“Commissioning” (page 36) and using
the checklist (page 54).
You can obtain the suggestion for the protective
safety field in the field set editor in the SCD
software: Device symbol SafeZone safety laser
scanner, command Edit field sets.... In the field set
editor window that opens, Suggest protective safety
field button.
The size determined for the protective safety field is:
• As large as the visible room contour.
• In those places where there is no room contour
within the scanning range, as large as the
maximum scanning range of the safety laser
scanner (4 or 5 m).
IMPORTANT The measurement error tolerances of
the SafeZone safety laser scanner are
automatically subtracted from the
protective safety field suggested. As a
result the protective safety field is
slightly smaller than the surface
acquired.

WARNING Check the protective safety field
suggested.
The scanner cannot calculate the safety
distance necessary for your
application. Calculate the safety
distance based on the description in
Section 4 “Installation and mounting”
on page 18. Prior to commissioning the
machine or vehicle, check the
configuration of the protective safety
fields using the instructions in Section
8 “Commissioning” on page 36 and
using the checklist on page 54.
With the SCD software you can configure the
SafeZone safety laser scanner for the required
application. For each application you first set the
resolution (device symbol SafeZone safety laser
scanner system, context menu Configuration draft,
Edit..., file card Application):
IMPORTANT For mobile applications a resolution of
only 70 mm is required for leg
detection, as a lower resolution is
sufficient for the detection of a human
leg due to the movement of the
vehicle.

R
SafeZone™ Safety Laser Scanner User Manual

The maximum protective safety field range is dependent on the
resolution selected, and the basic response time for the application is in
turn dependent of the protective safety field range. The following tables
show the values that can be configured:
Table 3: Maximum protective safety field range—SafeZone
multizone 5 m range
Table 3B: Maximum protective safety field range—SafeZone
singlezone 4 m range
3.4.3 Using the contour of the protective safety field
as a reference
If the beams of the protective safety field reach as far as an obstacle (e.g. the
floor in vertical applications or the walls in horizontal applications), the
SafeZone multizone safety laser scanner can also monitor the contour of the
protective safety field.
Figure 15: Schematic diagram of contour as reference
For contour monitoring you define part of the protective safety field as
a contour segment . Within the contour segment a tolerance band is
defined. This comprises a positive and a negative tolerance band.
The OSSDs on the SafeZone safety laser scanner change to the off status
if
• There is an object in the protective safety field.
• The room contour changes by more than the tolerance band (in the
example by opening the door or by changing the position of the
SafeZone safety laser scanner).
Vertical operation
In vertical operation (for access protection and hazardous point
protection) according to IEC/EN 61496-3 you must always configure and
activate the contour as reference function. If the radius of a protective safety
field exceeds 4 meters, then it must be ensured that changes to the
positioning of the safety laser scanner resulting in a movement of the
protective safety field of more than 100 mm are detected.

to Section 11.2 “OSSD response times”
(page 42) for more information.
IMPORTANT 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 a warning
field.
You define the contour as a reference in the SCD
field set editor: Device symbol SafeZone safety laser
scanner, command Edit field sets… In the field set
editor window. Tools menu. Add contour command.
Recommendation Use vertical passage limits at the side (e.g.
door frames) and the floor as the reference. If
in this case the position of the SafeZone
safety laser scanner is changed in one or
more planes, the distance to the reference
changes and the SafeZone multizone safety
laser scanner switches its OSSDs to the OFF
state.

Figure 16: Protective safety field as reference for vertical operation
Horizontal operation
If the protective safety field reaches the walls of a room partially or
entirely, the SafeZone safety laser scanner can also monitor the contour
of the protective safety field. The OSSDs on the SafeZone multizone
safety laser scanner then change to the off status if the room contour
changes due the opening of a door, even if there is no object in the
protective safety field.

3.4.4 External device monitoring (EDM)
The EDM function monitors the contact elements activated by both the
OSSDs (e.g. contactors). The machine is only allowed to start if both
contactors are in the de-energized state on reset, that is they are
deactivated.
The SafeZone safety laser scanner monitors the contactors after every
interruption of the protective safety field and before the restart of the
machine. The EDM can in this way identify if one of the contactors has
welded in the following manner.
3.4.5 Application diagnostic output
The application diagnostic output, when not configured, sources 24V
DC. When configured for contamination or status of outputs (OSSDs)
or both, the ADO will turn off to signal one of the configured states (see
Table 21 on page 40).
IMPORTANT It is not possible to define any warning
field in the areas of the contour
segments. This is only possible
between contour segments.
ATTENTION Each output signal switching device
(OSSD) is only allowed to be connected
to one switching element (e.g. relay or
contactor).

3.4.6 Restart
Figure 18: Schematic of operation with restart interlock
Restart interlock
The dangerous state of a machine or a vehicle is interrupted as soon as
there is an object in the protective safety field and is not enabled again ,
even if there is no longer an object in the protective safety field. The
OSSDs are only enabled again when the operator operates the control
switch for restarting or resetting.
The restart interlock can be implemented in two different ways:
• With the internal restart interlock of the SafeZone safety laser
scanner:
The outputs on the SafeZone safety laser scanner are enabled after the
connected control switch is operated.
• With the restart interlock of the machine controller:
The SafeZone safety laser scanner has no effect on the restart.
Restart delay
On the SafeZone safety laser scanner, instead of a restart interlock you can
configure a restart delay of 2 to 60 seconds. This enables the machine or the
vehicle to start automatically when the protective safety field becomes
clear, and the pre-set time has elapsed. It is not possible to combine restart
interlock and restart delay.
The SafeZone safety laser scanner has a configurable
application diagnostic output (device symbol
SafeZone safety laser scanner system, context menu
Configuration draft, Edit..., file card Scanner name).
For the application diagnostic output you must
decide
• Whether it is deactivated.
• Whether an output signal is only active when the
front screen is contaminated.
• Whether an output signal is only active when an
error occurs.
• Whether an output signal is activated for both the
front screen contamination and on errors.
ATTENTION Place the control switch for restart or
reset outside the hazardous area in a
place where it can clearly be seen from
the hazardous area.
Place the control switch for restart or
reset outside the hazardous area such
that it cannot be operated by a person
in the hazardous area. Ensure that the
person who operates the control
switch has a full view of the hazardous
area.
 
ATTENTION It is important to configure the
SafeZone safety laser scanner with
restart interlock if a person cannot be
detected at every point in the hazard
area for the SafeZone safety laser
scanner.
Operators may be at risk if restart
interlock is not configured. Check, if
necessary, whether it is possible to
prevent personnel from approacing
the hazard point by design measures
(see Section 4.1.2 “Measures to protect
areas not covered by the SafeZone
safety laser scanner" on page 21).
IMPORTANT The SafeZone safety laser scanner
cannot differentiate between a
contaminated front screen and an
obstacle directly in front of it. To ensure
high availability, the SafeZone multizone
safety laser scanner has been designed
such that it reliably detects dark black
bodies such as wide black cord or shoe
leather from a distance of 5 cm in front
of the front screen. Black objects that
are closer to the front screen may not be
detected.
ATTENTION Secure the area close to the SafeZone
safety laser scanner if operated without
restart interlock.
Make the area near the device
inaccessible by means of physical
measures (hard guard or recessing) or,
in addition to the SafeZone safety laser
scanner, use a proximity switch with 5
cm acquisition range. Without this
additional protection you will
endanger persons who move from the
protective safety field into the area
near the device.

Permissible configuration
Table 4: Permissible configuration of the restart interlock
Reset
If you want to activate the restart interlock on the SafeZone safety laser
scanner (internal) and also a restart interlock on the machine (external),
then each restart interlock needs its own control switch.
The external restart interlock prevents the machine from restarting.
After resetting the SafeZone safety laser scanner the operator must press
the control switch to restart the machine controller.
If you do not use the restart interlock, leave the inputs disconnected (see
Section 5.1.1 “Pin assignments of the I/O modules” on page 32).
You can configure the type of restart in the SCD (device symbol SafeZone
safety laser scanner system, context menu Configuration draft, Edit..., file
card Scanner name).
3.4.7 Multiple sampling
When multiple sampling is set, an object must be scanned several times
before the SafeZone safety laser scanner switches off its OSSDs. In this
way you can reduce the probability that objects falling through the scan
plane, for example welding sparks or other particles, result in the
shutdown of the equipment.
With a multiple sampling configuration of (e.g., 3) an object must be
scanned three times in succession before the SafeZone safety laser
scanner switches off the OSSDs.
On the SafeZone safety laser scanner, a multiple sampling of 2 is the
minimum setting. You can set the multiple sampling up to 16 with the aid of
the SCD software.
Table 5: Recommended multiple sampling
3.4.8 Monitoring cases
If you are using the SafeZone multizone, you can define up to four
monitoring cases.
Restart Interlock of the
SafeZone
Restart Interlock
Machine/Vehicle Permissible Application

Activated Activated
All, if the hazardous area cannot be
completely seen by the operator. The
restart interlock of the SafeZone safety
laser scanner takes over the function
for resetting the protective device.
IMPORTANT The reset function is often also called
“preparation for restart.” In these
operating instructions the term reset is
typically used.
After operating the control switch for the internal
restart interlock (with protective safety field
unoccupied)
• The SafeZone multizone safety laser scanner
switches on its OSSDs.
• The adjacent LED on the safety laser scanner
illuminates green.
ATTENTION Ensure that the correct sequence is
followed!
The controller must be configured such
that the machine only restarts if the
SafeZone safety laser scanner is first
reset and then the control switch for
restarting the machine controller is
pressed.
IMPORTANT You will find examples on the
connection of the internal restart
interlock in Section 6.3 “Example
circuits” on page 34.
IMPORTANT The total response time is increased by
the multiple sampling.
With a multiple sampling greater than
2, note that you must add a
supplement to the basic response time
(see Section 11.2 “OSSD response
times” on page 42)!
Recommended multiple sampling Application
2 times Stationary under clean ambient
conditions
4 times Mobile
8 times Stationary under dusty ambient
conditions
Recommendation Using multiple sampling you can increase
the availability of a machinery.
You can configure the multiple sampling in the SCD
software for each monitoring case (device symbol
SafeZone safety laser scanner system, context menu
Configuration draft, Edit..., Monitoring case name, file
card Scanner name).

It is possible to switch between these monitoring cases during operation
using static control inputs.
Park mode
For mobile applications in which vehicles are parked for a time, the
SafeZone multizone safety laser scanner can be switched to park mode.
In the park mode the OSSDs are deactivated and the laser beam in the
safety laser scanner will shutdown. In this way the power consumption of
the device is reduced.
The park mode can be configured for a monitoring case. To switch to the
park mode, the input must be configured such that the related
monitoring case with the park mode is activated.
3.4.9 Static control inputs
The SafeZone multizone safety laser scanner has two two-channel static
control inputs through which the four possible monitoring cases can be
switched.
If you are using static sampling, decide between complementary or 1-of-n
sampling depending on the control features available.
Static complementary sampling
A control input comprises a pair of two connections. For correct
switching one connection must be inverted in relation to the other.
The following table shows the levels that must be present at the
connections for the control input to define the logical input state 1 and 0
at the related control input.
Table 6: Level at the connections for the control inputs for
complementary sampling
Using the control input pair on the SafeZone multizone safety laser
scanner; four monitoring cases can be switched.
Static 1-of-n sampling
With 1-of-n sampling you use each of the two control input connections.
All connections must be used, only one connection is ever allowed to be 1.
Table 7: Truth table for 1-of-n sampling
IMPORTANT Ensure that the safety distance to the
dangerous state is properly established
in any monitoring case to protect the
hazardous area.
See Section 4 “Installation and
mounting” on page 18.
Recommendation If you park vehicles beside each other,
switch them to the park mode. In this way
you prevent the SafeZone multizone safety
laser scanner on the vehicles from optically
interferring with each other and the
SafeZone multizone safety laser scanner
from possibly entering an error (lockout)
condition.
You can configure the monitoring cases in the SCD
software (device symbol SafeZone multizone safety
laser scanner system, context menu Configuration
draft, Edit...).
You can configure the control input in the SCD
software (device symbol SafeZone multizone safety
laser scanner system, context menu Configuration
draft, Edit..., file card Inputs).
IMPORTANT When switching the monitoring cases
using static control inputs, please note
the following points:
Ensure that the control for the
monitoring case switching has a
sufficiently high level of safety.
Ensure that the circuit for the control
inputs is suitable for the ambient
conditions to be expected so that
systematic effects and thus errors on
the switching of the monitoring
cases can be excluded.
Ensure that the control—using static
control 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 safety 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 4.5 “Timing for
monitoring case switching” on page 27).

Input delay
If the control device which is used to switch the static control inputs cannot
switch within 10 ms (for 60 ms basic response time) or 20 ms (for 120 ms
basic response time) to the related input condition (e.g. due to switch
bounce times), you must choose an input delay. For the input delay choose
the time in which your defined control device can switch to a
corresponding input condition.
Independent of the basic response time chosen for the SafeZone
multizone safety laser scanner, you can increase the input delay in 30-ms
steps (for 60 ms basic response time) or 60-ms steps (for 120 ms basic
response time).
The following figures, derived from experience, are a guide for the
various switching methods given.
Table 8: Figures from experience for the necessary input
delay
3.4.10 Checking of the monitoring case switching
To check the switching between monitoring cases, configure a series of
monitoring cases. Here you can define either an arbitrary sequence, a
unique sequence, or two alternative sequences.
Arbitrary sequence: It is allowed to switch from one monitoring case to
any other defined monitoring case.
Unique sequence: It is only allowed to switch from a monitoring case to
another specifically defined monitoring case.
Alternative sequence: It is allowed to switch from a monitoring case to
one of two specifically defined monitoring cases.
Figure 19: Schematic layout of the monitoring case switching
Within a monitoring case, the SafeZone multizone can monitor two
field sets simultaneously (e.g. hazardous area on the left and hazardous
area on the right). For this purpose choose any further field set with the
related monitoring case as the simultaneous field set.
3.4.11 Naming applications and laser scanners
A name can be assigned to the application configured and to the laser
scanner(s). The names are saved in the devices after the configuration is
transferred. The name chosen may, for example, be the identifier for the
system or the machine.
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 SCD software will be
notified that the application name does not match. He may then
exchange these devices for those with the correct application name.
3.5 Indicators and outputs
3.5.1 LEDs and 7-segment display
The LEDs and the 7-segment display indicate the operational status of
the SafeZone safety laser scanner. They are on the front face of the safety
laser scanner. Above the LEDs there are symbols that are used in the
remainder of these operating instructions to describe the LEDs.
Figure 20: Operational status indicators on the SafeZone safety laser
scanner
The symbols have the following meaning:
Switching method Input delay required
Electronic switching using controller or complementary electronic
outputs with 0 to 10 ms bounce time 10 ms
Contact (relay) controls 30…150 ms
Control using independent sensors 130…480 ms
Recommendation Use the checking of the monitoring cases as
an additional medium to exclude risks. For
example, deviations of a vehicle from a
corridor or a plant from the stipulated
production process can be detected.

3.5.2 Outputs
Using the outputs on the SafeZone safety laser scanner you shutdown the
dangerous state on a machine, equipment or a vehicle and evaluate the
operational status of the SafeZone safety laser scanner. The SafeZone
safety laser scanner has the following outputs:
•OSSDs
•Warningfield
• Application diagnostic output (contamination of the front screen/
error)
•Resetrequired
The outputs are brought out at the system connection (see Section 5.1
“System connection” on page 31).
Section 4 — Installation and Mounting
This section describes the preparation and completion of the mounting of
the SafeZone safety laser scanner.
Mounting requires four steps:
• Definition of the application and the necessary mounting location for
the laser scanner
• Calculation of the protective safety field sizes
You can enter the calculated protective safety field sizes with the aid of
the SCD software. Or leave the SafeZone safety laser scanner to suggest
the protective safety fields. In the latter case it is necessary to check
whether the suggested sizes correspond to those calculated. Thus in any
circumstance you must calculate the protective safety field size.
• Definition of the switching point between monitoring cases
• Mounting the safety laser scanner with or without mounting kits
Warning field interrupted (object in warning field)
Front screen contaminated
OSSDs deactivated (e.g. if object in the protective safety
field, reset necessary, lock-out)
OSSDs activated (no object in protective safety field)
IMPORTANT All outputs are only allowed to be used
for the purpose specified. Note that the
signals at the application diagnostic
outputs for “warning field,”
“contamination of the front screen/
error” and “reset necessary” are not
safe. For this reason the warning field is
not allowed to be used for tasks related
to personnel protection.
ATTENTION No protective function without
sufficient safety distance.
The SafeZone safety laser scanner’s
safety function depends on the system
being mounted with the correct safety
distance from the hazardous area.
