Function The SafeZone Mini safety laser scanner operates correctly as a protective safety
laser scanner only if the following conditions are met:
• The control of the machine, system, or vehicle must be electrical.
• It must be possible to transfer the dangerous machine, system, or vehicle
state to a safe state with the OSSDs on the SafeZone Mini safety laser
scanner at any time before a person reaches the hazardous point or
hazardous area.
Or, it must be possible to transfer the dangerous state of the machine, system,
or vehicle to a safe state at any time with the OSSDs on a safety controller
connected to the SafeZone Mini safety laser scanner.
• You must mount and configure the SafeZone Mini safety laser scanner so
it detects objects as they enter the hazardous area (see Mounting on
page 33 and Commissioning on page 63).
• The optical path of the safety laser scanner must always remain clear. Do
not cover the optical path with transparent objects such as protective
windows, Plexiglas, and lenses. To maintain the protective function of

the safety laser scanner, do not bypass the contamination measurement
function by such measures.
Principle of Operation
The SafeZone Mini safety laser scanner is an optical sensor that scans its
surroundings in two dimensions with infrared laser beams. The optical sensor
monitors hazardous areas on machines or vehicles.
The SafeZone Mini safety laser scanner works on the principle of the time of
flight measurement, which is shown in Figure 1. The unit sends out short
pulses of infrared light (send pulses). Simultaneously, an electronic stopwatch
starts. When the light reaches an object, it reflects and the safety laser scanner
receives it (receive pulses). From the time between sending and reception (Δt),
the SafeZone Mini safety laser scanner calculates the distance to the object.
Figure 1 - Time of Flight Measurement
In the SafeZone Mini safety laser scanner, there is also a mirror that rotates at
constant speed and deflects the light pulses such that they cover an arc of 270°,
shown in Figure 2. In this way, an object can be detected in the protective field
within 270°. The first beam of a scan starts at -45° relative to the back of the
safety laser scanner.
The SafeZone Mini safety laser scanner sends a pulse of light with an angular
resolution of 0.5° (A). As a result resolutions between 30…70 mm (1.18…2.76 in.)
can be achieved (B).
Figure 2 - Rotation of the SafeZone Mini Safety Laser Scanner
Due to its active scanning principle, the SafeZone Mini safety laser scanner
does not require receivers or reflectors, and offers the following advantages:

Chapter 2 Product Description
• You can easily adapt the monitored area to the hazardous area on a
machine.
• In comparison with contact sensors, electro-sensitive scanning is nearly
wear-free.
Field Set Comprising Protective and Warning Fields
Protective fields and warning fields form the field set. You can configure these
field sets with the aid of the SCD software. You can configure the fields as
circular, rectangular, or of arbitrary shape. If the monitored area changes, you
can reconfigure the SafeZone Mini safety laser scanner in the software without
additional mounting efforts.
You can configure field sets as one protective field and one or two warning
fields.
The SafeZone Mini safety laser scanner secures the hazardous area on a
machine or vehicle. Once the safety laser scanner detects an object in the
protective field, it switches the OSSDs to the off-state. This action initiates the
shutdown of the machine or the stop of the vehicle.
Figure 3 - Field Set with One Protective Field and Two Warning Fields
You can define the warning fields so the safety laser scanner detects an object
before the actual hazardous area.
You can use warning field 1 in particular for vehicle protection to detect an
object even before the actual hazardous area, and to slow the movement of the
vehicle or bring it to a standstill. This use can reduce wear on automated
guided vehicle (AVG) brakes. You can also use warning field 2 to trigger a
warning signal.
Contour Monitoring
Additionally, the SafeZone Mini safety laser scanner can also monitor a
contour (for example, the floor in vertical applications).
ATTENTION: Do not use a warning field on the SafeZone Mini safety laser
scanner for tasks that are related to the protection of people.
