Mounting
Height of the scan plane
Mount the SafeZone Mini such that the scan plane is at a maximum height of 200 mm (7.87 in.)!
In this way also persons lying down will be reliably detected. Tilting the protective field so that objects with a diameter of
200 mm (7.87 in.)are not detected, is not allowed. We recommend aligning the scan plane horizontally at 70 mm
(2.76 in.)

Note
To produce the optimal scan plane, you can also mount the SafeZone Mini reversed.
Methods of preventing
unprotected areas
During mounting the SafeZone Mini, areas may be found that are not covered by the safety laser scanner (
).

Prevent or secure unprotected areas!
•
Mount the SafeZone Mini such that there are no unprotected areas.
•
For mobile applications, if the vehicle is accelerated to a maximum velocity of 0.3 m/s (11.8 in.s) in less than three
seconds when in operation, you must prevent personnel from entering the unprotected areas by means of mechanical
trim panels, switch strips or fitting the SafeZone Mini in the vehicle trim panels.
