3 Install Your ScannerA horizontal Safety Zone is considered to be 30° or less from a level floor or walking surface.1. Determine the area to be safeguarded by the scanner.2. Determine whether to install the SX5 with or without a Banner mounting option.3. Determine the size and coverage of the Safety Zone and Warning Zone (if used) depending on: physical location ofthe scanner installation, and the minimum safety distance or the stopping distance of the mobile vehicle.SeeMinimum Safety (Separation) Distance for Stationary Applications on page 29 andMobile Applications onpage 33.4. Determine the restart operating mode (manual or automatic reset). SeeAutomatic or Manual Start/Restart on page53.5. If Manual restart is used, determine the location for the reset switch, see the reset switch location section of themanual.6. Determine if a Zone Set switchover is required and identify the conditions for use.7. Configure the SX5 with the configuration software.8. Record the SX5 configuration and the Safety/Warning Zone dimensioning. This document should identify and besigned by the individual(s) responsible for the configuration and be included with the machine documentation.9. For stationary applications, it is recommended to mark the perimeter of the Safety Zone(s) on the floor as anawareness means for individuals in the area. For mobile applications, it is recommended that the diagram be readilyavailable for review.10. If required, install means to protect the SX5 from physical damage, sources of optical interference (e.g. otherscanners), or prevent the SX5 from being used as a climbing aid. Ensure that these means do not impair the SX5'sfield of view.3.1 Safety Zone (SZ) and Warning Zone (WZ) Considerations• Ensure the dimension (size) and coverage of the Safety Zone can detect an intrusion and allow the scanner's OSSDsto stop the dangerous movement before personnel can access the hazard. (SeeMinimum Safety (Separation)Distance for Stationary Applications on page 29 andMinimum Distance D (Safety Zone Length) for MobileApplications on page 34.)• Ensure that access to all hazards is not possible for all Zone Set switchover applications.• Ensure that safety distance and stopping distance calculations incorporate all factors that can effect response time,including:◦ The additive effect of all device response times, such as the scanner, UM-FA-… safety module, and allmachine control elements (FSDs and/or MPCEs).◦ Add the appropriate response time values to account for any reasonably foreseeable machine stop timedegradation, such as due to brake pad wear.• Ensure that the Safety Zone adequately covers all access routes that may lead to the safeguarded hazard orsupplemental guarding may be required (seeUnmonitored Areas on page 23).• Ensure that the safeguarded hazard(s) cannot be accessed because of the effect of "shadowing" within the SafetyZone by adding supplemental safeguarding, such as additional scanners.• Observe the lateral tolerance when dimensioning the Safety Zone (e.g. do not use needle or cone-shapedboundaries to define the separation (safety) distance; cone-shaped boundaries rely on less accurate, angularresolution measurements).• Consider and resolve any other application factors that might require an increase in the separation (safety) distanceor stopping distance. These factors should be identified via the risk assessment process.• Determine if the reference points (surface) monitoring function is required (especially in vertical applications). Thisfunction prevents unintentional misalignment and deliberate manipulation of the SX5 (seeReference Points (Surface)Monitoring on page 16).3.2 Mechanical Installation ConsiderationsMany factors influence the layout of the SX5’s mechanical installation. For stationary applications, these include separation(safety) distance, supplemental safeguarding (hard guarding), unmonitored areas (shadows or areas behind the SX5),adjacent SX5s, and the height of the Safety Zone (in horizontal applications). In addition, mobile applications must take intoaccount the stopping performance and distance of the mobile vehicle the SX5 is controlling.SX5 Safety Laser Scanner22 www.bannerengineering.com - Tel: +1.763.544.3164
