Application examples

Figure 30 - Application with large protective field (2 × SC300)

Application with safe access on
three sides (ergonomic
workplace design)

To realize an equally ergonomic and effective workplace, you can mount two safety
camera systems diagonally. In this way the hazardous point can be safely accessed from
three sides.

Note

Due to the diagonal arrangement of the protective fields and the necessary safety
distance, the working distance for the operator may be larger in this application.

Notes

In this application pay special attention to the correct mounting of the reflective tapes as
shown in the diagram. The reflective tapes must always be perpendicular to the protective
field area.
In this application the monitored area is mostly smaller than the working area available.
For this reason mark the contour of the monitored area on the working area if this
marking is not already provided by the reflective tape.
