Configurable Functions

The OSSDs on the SafeZone Mini device change to the OFF state or the
SafeZone Mini Remote signals in the following situations:
• There is an object in the protective field.
• The monitored surrounding contour is no longer in the tolerance band
(for example, if the position of the SafeZone Mini device is changed).
TIP • You can define any number of contour segments.
• The contour segments must not be narrower than the configured
resolution.
• At the points where a contour has been configured as a reference you
cannot define warning fields. If, for example, you use the floor as a
reference for access protection, you cannot configure a warning field
there. However, you can, for example, configure a warning field to the
left and right of the contour segment to control a warning signal on
approach from the side.
• The contour as reference function and the warning field 2 function are
mutually exclusive.
You define the contour as a reference in the SCD software field set editor.
Vertical Operation
In vertical operation (for access protection and hazardous point protection),
according to CLC/TS 61496-3 you must always configure the protective fields
that are used with the contour as reference function.
