The SafeZone Multi-Zone safety laser
scanner is a Type 3 opto-electronic device
that protects personnel or equipment by
detecting objects or persons in its sensing
field. Operating on the “time of flight”
principle, the SafeZone Multi-Zone emits
pulses of eye-safe infrared laser light over a
190-degree arc, then receives and processes
the light reflected off of intrusions in the
sensing field to determine the position and

distance to the object. When an object is
detected, the SafeZone Multi-Zone sends a
stop signal to the protected machine.
In addition to increased safety, the
SafeZone Multi-Zone also provides enhanced
flexibility thanks to its two pairs
of configurable detection zones, each with
warning and safety zones that can be customized
within the maximum scanning
range to suit the application. Configuration
of these zones is quick and easy through the
use of the Windows®-based SCD software
supplied with each SafeZone Multi-Zone.
The “safety field” is configurable for a fivemeter
range over 190°, while the “warning
field” can be set for up to a 49 meter radius
(dependent upon the object’s reflectivity).
Plus, the SafeZone Multi-Zone is certified
for both vertical and horizontal guarding
applications and offers configurable resolutions
(of 30mm, 40mm, 50mm, 70mm and
150mm) that allow a wide range of detection
configurations for both stationary and
mobile applications. That means the Safe-
Zone Multi-Zone addresses the full range of
point of operation, area guarding, or access
detection applications on the plant floor.
The SafeZone Multi-Zone also reduces
downtime by simplifying maintenance and
troubleshooting. It has a dual-function
ADO (Application Diagnostic Output) that
can be used for OSSD status and/or a weak
signal indication, which could be caused by
a dirty front window. The front window of
the scanner is also field replaceable should
it become damaged or scratched. For further
ease of troubleshooting, the SafeZone
Multi-Zone also features a 7-segment display
along with several LEDs for quick and
easy diagnosis of the device’s operational
status or fault condition.
Features:
• 190° scanning angle
• Two pairs of configurable field sets
• 7 segment diagnostic display
• Configurable resolutions 30, 40, 50,
70 and 150mm
• Integrated EDM
• Ideal for Stationary and Mobile applications
• Vertical or Horizontal mounting
