Note The mounting of the device is only shown schematically in the following figures for
reasons of simplicity.
For correct mounting, pay attention to the Mounting notes on page 15.
The SC300 safety camera system operates correctly as a protective device only if the
following conditions are met:
• The control of the machine must be electrical.
• It must be possible to achieve a safe state on the machine at any time.
• Camera and reflective tape must be so mounted that objects penetrating into the
hazardous area are safely identified by the SC300.
• The reset button must be fitted outside the hazardous area such that it cannot be
operated by a person working inside the hazardous area. When operating the reset
button, the operator must have full visual command of the hazardous area.
• The statutory and local rules and regulations must be observed when installing and
using the device.
• The necessary protective field dimensions must not exceed the permitted ratio for the
lengths of the sides (see “Checking the Dimensions of the Protective Field” on
page 15).
