2. Safety precautions

Read the following guidelines for correct use of the UAM. Proper handling and
usage will ensure the UAM to operate accordingly.

2.1 General precautions

UAM is designed to protect human begins or systems by monitoring the hazardous area. It is not
designed for the protection from high speed objects or the electromagnetic radiation.

Perform pre-operation tests in order to verify the performance of UAM.
Do not modify or disassemble UAM. Such modifications will affect the detection capability leading to
injuries or death.

Do not modify or disassemble UAM to maintain its housing rating. Such modifications will void the
warranty.

The person-in-charge should be qualified to operate UAM. The person must be trained, on safety
requirements with necessary cautions for handling the device.

The person-in-charge should train the user with correct installation, operation, inspection and
maintenance procedures.

The person-in-charge is responsible to ensure the proper working environment for UAM.
The person-in-charge is responsible for the compliance with the local safety requirements, standards,

rules and regulations, laws of respective nations, states or districts when UAM is used in a

safety-related system.

UAM has been manufactured and shipped under the strict quality control. If you find any defect in the
product contact the nearest distributor or sales representative. (

Last page)

Hokuyo cannot be held responsible for the damages or failure due to misuse of the product.
User should prepare test pieces for detection capability verification. The test piece should emulate the
smallest object that is intended to be detected during the operation.

Maximum level of homogeneous pollution for UAM to operate normally is under 30%. UAM will
report error if the pollution exceeds the stated limit. Always keep the optical window in clean condition
to avoid the error.

Before resetting the interlock of UAM, user must ensure the surrounding is safe especially the protected
area.

Apply sufficient measures to ensure safety of the protected area when decommissioning UAM.

Protective materials such as guards or light curtain should be used to prevent the passage to the
hazardous area.

UAM including its accessories are subject to change without prior notice for the improvement.

UAM should be disposed as industrial waste or in accordance with the local disposal directives.

affect the operation of UAM.

Do not use or mount UAM in dusty, smoky, or misty environments, or where corrosive substances are
present. Operating under such environments may decrease the detection capacity of UAM.

This product is for indoor use only.

2.3 Installation of UAM

Install UAM on a firm surface or structure to avoid displacement.

UAM should be firmly mounted using the screws (recommended torque for screws is 3N.m.). Shock
and vibration should not loosen the mounting. Detection may fail if actual protection zone differs from
the intended zone due to displacement of UAM.

Safety distance should be determined before installing UAM. User must verify the function of UAM
after installation by placing a test piece at all the positions of protection zone (refer to chapter 4 for the
details on the safety distance calculation for various applications).

When installing the UAM, protective materials such as guards or light curtain should be used to prevent

allowed to configure UAM.

Pre-operation tests should be performed to verify the configurations before operating the UAM.

Increasing the response time of OSSD will increase the stability of UAM. However, this will reduce the

detection capability towards moving objects. User must perform risk assessment before using this
function.

Changes made during the configuration must be recorded and saved. Use the report function in the

UAM Project Designer for this purpose. (

Figure 3-4 Scanning range
Figure 3-4 shows the scanning range of UAM. Protection zone and warning zones are configured using

the UAM Project Designer application software. Any object or human beings entering the protection zone
will lead the OSSD signal to change from ON-state to OFF-state. Similarly, an object detected in the warning
zones will lead the warning signals to change to OFF-state.

Distance to the object is measured using the Time of Flight (TOF) principle. Pulsed laser beams are

radiated into the scanning range of 270º by the rotating motor. These pulsed laser beams are reflected back

by objects inside the scanning range. The duration of reflected beams are used for distance calculation as

shown below:

Where,

L＝Distance of the object

C＝Speed of the light
T＝Time difference

The operating principle of TOF is schematically shown in Figure 3-5. The angular resolution of UAM is

0.125°.

3.4 Scanning area

Scanning area of UAM consists of protection zone and warning zones. Maximum 32 sets of area can be

configured. Further, two combinations for protection and warning zones can be selected for the operation.
Combination 1: Protection zone, Warning zone 1 and Warning zone 2
Combination 2: 2 Protection zones (Dual Protection)

In dual protection mode, two protection areas can be configured but it is not possible to configure the

warning zones Protection and warning zones can be configured by using UAM Project Designer. Refer to
Chapter 7 for configuration details.

3.4.1 Protection zone

Protection zone is safety-critical and directly connected to the OSSD signal. When an obstacle is

detected in the protection zone, UAM will switch the OSSD to OFF-state (which should trigger a switch to

stop a machine or AGV). For mobile applications, the OSSD signal can be used as the emergency stop signal.

Figure 3-6 and 3-7 show the examples of protection zone configured using manual mode and teaching mode
respectively. User can configure these zones accordingly to ensure hazardous area is completely protected.

User should verify the detection capability using an actual object.

Document No: C-61-00003-3

In dual protection mode, two protection zones can be configured independently. UAM will monitor these

zones simultaneously. OSSD1 and OSSD2 are dedicated to protection zone1 and OSSD3 and OSSD4 are
dedicated to protection zone2.

Figure 3-8 shows an example of the dual protection zone configuration. Warning zones cannot be

configured in dual protection mode.

Figure 3-8 Example of Dual protection zone configuration

3.4.2 Warning zone

Warning zones are non-safety zones and are connected to Warning1 and Warning2 outputs. When the

obstacle is detected in the warning zones, UAM will switch the respective warning signal from ON-state to
OFF-state.

Warning signals can be used as an alert signal to avoid human beings or objects from approaching near

the protection zone. For mobile applications, warning signals can be used for reducing the speed of
automatic guided vehicle (AGV) to avoid collision. Figure 3-9 shows an example of warning zone
configuration.

Warning signals should not be used for controlling any machine or vehicle for the

safety-related purposes.

Warning signals are non safety-signal.

Warning signals and OSSD signal is not inter-related.

3.5 Area switching

A maximum of 32 sets of area can be configured in UAM. However the maximum configurable area

number differs depending on the selected function such as, muting and dual protection. Table 3-1 shows the
maximum configurable area number according to the used mode.

External input signals are provided in UAM for switching the area. Each signal has a pair of normal and

inverted signal. For example, it is necessary to provide both input signal IN_A and inverse IN_A signal to
switch the area. Error will occur if IN_A and inverse IN_A signals do not complement each other. Table 3-2

below shows the combination of input signal to switch the area. Area in use will be displayed in the 7
segment LED of UAM.

It is also possible to configure area input delay. Configure the necessary delay required for the system to

provide stable input signals to UAM. The default value is 30ms.

There are maximum 5 input pairs (a pair is combination of normal and inverted signal) in UAM therefore,

it can operate with maximum 32 sets of area. Further, it is also possible to switch the area through the speed
monitoring of incremental encoder signal connected to UAM (

3.6 Incremental encoder

In UAM there are 2 pairs of encoder input terminals for connecting 2 units of dual channel incremental

encoder signals. Area will be switched depending on the encoder speed. Direction of travel is detected by

encoder's phase A and phase B signals having the phase difference of 90°. Speed and rotating direction of
both encoders are constantly monitored to detect abnormal travel and stop the AGV.

Incremental encoder output signals should be connected to the respective input terminals of UAM. There

are two patterns of signals generated by the combination of Phase A and Phase B of encoders depending on
the direction of travel (Figure 3-10). In the first pattern, Phase B is 90 degrees ahead of Phase A wherein, at
the rising edge of Phase A, state of Phase B is “H”. This pattern is considered as positive direction (forward

motion). In the second pattern, Phase B lags behind Phase A by 90 degrees and the state of Phase B at the
rising edge of Phase A is “L”. This is considered as negative direction (backward motion).

Figure 3-10 Input signals from incremental encoder

Document No: C-61-00003-3

3.6.1 Pulse per cm travel generated by incremental encoders

When AGV travels, incremental encoder generates pulses due to the transmission ratio between AVG tires

and incremental encoder frictional wheel. Pulse count per cm depends on AGV's speed.

Figure 3-11 Calculation of pulse count per centimeter travel

AGV tire diameter: 40 cm

Frictional wheel diameter mounted in incremental encoder: 5 cm
Incremental encoder pulse number per revolution: 1000 pulse

AGV tire circumference = Diameter × Circumference ratio = 40 cm × 3.14 = 125.6 cm

AGV tire's one rotation is equivalent to 8 rotations of frictional wheel. This equals to the 8,000 pulses of

incremental encoder.

From above, incremental encoder pulse count per cm is obtained as
8,000/125.6 = 63.7

While setting encoder parameters (Encoder Pulse1 and Encoder Pulse2) in UAM project Designer, set
the encoder pulse count after rounding the calculated value to nearest whole number (64 in this case)

Document No: C-61-00003-3

In the explanation above, the transfer method of the rotation was based on the frictional wheel. Same

method can be applied for other cases to estimate the pulse count generated for one rotation of the
wheel.

User should verify the proper area switching through encoder inputs.

Always use 2 units of incremental encoder. It is not possible to detect the failure of
incremental encoder or abnormal travel of the vehicle with single unit.

・ Use separate sets of cable to connect outputs from incremental encoder 1 and 2 to the

respective encoder input terminals of UAM.

Separate the power supply cables and power source of each incremental encoder. Output

pairs of Encoder connection should match the input pair of UAM.

Do not wire other power lines parallel to encoder and UAM or wire in the same duct. There
is a possibility of noise disturbance.

3.6.2 Recommend incremental encoder specification
・ Phase setting 90° dual channel rotary encoder
・ Power supply: DC 24V

・ Output : Complementary output
・ Protective class : IP 54 or more

・ Output cable : Twist pair/ shield cable
・ Maximum pulse frequency : 100 kHz

・ Minimum pulse frequency : 50 pulse/cm
3.6.3 Tolerances allowed for encoder

When AGV travels in a forward direction, speed input through the two incremental encoders will be same

as the original pulse frequency. However, there are cases when two speed input values may differ, such as

while cornering and due to AGV tire exhaustion. The difference between two input speeds should not exceed
the error tolerance for more than a fixed period of time. Set the error tolerance in the range of 0 to 80%.

Of the two speeds, the larger value will be considered for vehicles speed calculation. When permitted error
tolerance exceeds the fixed period OSSD will go to OFF state. Tolerance period differs according to the
vehicle speed as shown in table 3-3.

When area sequence is disabled, UAM can switch from an area to any other areas (Figure 3-24(a) whereas

it can only switch to specified areas if area sequence is enabled. (Figure 3-24(b)).
Area sequence function is recommended for control systems where switching area sequences can be
configured.

Figure 3-24(a) Operation without area sequence

Figure 3-24(b) Operation with area sequence

3.12 Response time

Response times of OSSD signal (Figure 3-25), OFF response time and ON response time (default

270ms) are configurable individually for each area using the UAM project designer. Response time of the

Warning 1 and Warning 2 will be same as the OSSD response time. Table 3-4 shows the possible
configurable values. In the dual protection mode, it is possible to set a separate response time for each
protection area.

When longer response time is configured, the stability of UAM can be increased. However, longer

response time requires longer safety distance. (Refer to chapter 4). User must perform risk assessment before

configuring the response time. Addition of maximum 1 cycle (30ms) has to be taken into account for the area
switching.

3.13 Other outputs

UAM consist of 6 non-safety outputs, WARNING1, WARNING2, MUT_OUT1, MUT_OUT2 and

RES_REQ1 and RES_REQ2. WARNING1/OSSD3, WARNING2/OSSD4, RES_REQ1/ MUT_OUT1 and

RES_REQ2/ MUT_OUT2 are configurable outputs that share the same terminal. When the functions are
selected using UAM project designer, outputs are configured automatically.

3. 13.1 Warning output 1 (WARNING 1)

This signal will switch to OFF-state when an obstacle is detected in the configured warning zone 1.

3. 13.2 Warning output 2 (WARNING 2)

This signal will switch to OFF-state when an obstacle is detected in the configured warning zone 2.

3. 13.3 Muting output 1 (MUT_OUT 1)

MUT_OUT1 indicates the muting/override status of the protection zone 1. When the muting function is

activated, MUT_OUT1 will switch to ON-state. At the same time, number 37 is displayed on the 7-segment
LED. This signal should be used to indicate that protection zone 1 is in muting state or override state.

3. 13.4 Muting output 2 (MUT_OUT 2)

MUT_OUT2 indicates the muting/override status of the protection zone 2.When the muting function is

activated, MUT_OU2 will switch to ON-state. At the same time, number 38 is displayed on the 7-segment
LED. This signal should be used to indicate that protection zone 2 is in muting state or override state.

When both protection zone 1 and protection zone 2 are in muting or override state, number 39 is displayed

on the 7-segment LED.

Document No: C-61-00003-3

3. 13.5 Reset Request 1 (RES _ REQ1)

This signal will switch to ON-state when the protection zone 1 of the UAM is ready to receive reset

signal.

3.16 Function to configure UAM by SD card

Configuration generated by UAM Project Designer can be saved in the SD card. It is possible to transfer

the setting directly from the SD Card to UAM without connecting to a PC. Recommended specification of
SD card is given below.

Create a project file with set the serial number and password of the UAM and save it on the SD card using

UAM Project Designer. When the SD card is inserted to the specified UAM, settings are automatically

transferred. It is possible to register multiple serial number and password in the SD card to simultaneously

configure multiple devices. Setting will not be transferred to the unspecified UAM or if the password
verification fails.

Specification of SD card

Type: Micro SD card, Micro SDHC card
Capacity: 16GB or less

3.17 Master-Slave Function

Maximum 4 units of UAM can be interconnected using RS-485 for Master/slave operation. One unit will

function as a master unit communicating with up to 3 units that function as slaves via safety communication

channel. Use the UAM Project Designer to configure the devices. UAM will report error if the number of

master and slave units is different than the configured settings.

Area switching of the slave unit is linked with the master unit while the slave units transmit the object

detection information to the master which controls the OSSD. It is also possible to use each slave unit’s
OSSD. Figure 3-28 shows the connection example.

Document No: C-61-00003-3

Figure 3-28 Connection example (When OSSD of slaves are not in use)

Perform the risk assessment before using the master-slave function.

User should comply with all the following conditions when using the master-slave function.
1. There should be one device configured as master in the system.

2. Number of slave units connected in the system should not exceed the slave cont configured in
the master unit..

3. Configuration of slave identity number should be in the order starting from 1 without being
overlapped.

4. Verify that each device is mounted at their intended location.

5. Verify that each device matches the intended configuration.

Interlock function is mandatory when using the master-slave function for safety operation.
Connecting RS485 lines to devices other than UAM, such as actuators, is not possible.
Do not exceed the cable length between the master and each slaves beyond 20m.
Failing to comply with the above could lead to critical injury or death.

Document No: C-61-00003-3

Configured active area count in master and slave units should be the same except when using the

encoder input function.

Scanning area operation mode in master and slave units should be the same.

3.18 Laser Off Mode

Laser off mode is a function to completely stop the laser emission in the measurement region in order to

prevent the interference to the surrounding equipment.

When this mode is enabled, Area1 is automatically assigned for laser off function. During the operation,

UAM will stop the laser emission and switch the OSSD to OFF state whenever the area is switched to Area1.

3.19 Scan Skip Function

Scan skip is a function to stop the laser emission for a specified number of scan cycles in the

measurement region in order to reduce the interference to the surrounding equipment.

When this function is enabled by specifying the skip count, UAM will operate by skipping the scan for

the number of cycles. During the skipping cycle the laser is switched off in the measurement region.

Configurable value for skip cycle is 0 ~ 3 count. Response time of UAM for the different settings is shown

in Table 3-7.

Figure 3-29 shows the operating concept when the scan skip is 0. In this configuration the scan skip

function is disabled and sensor operates normally.

3.20 Optical Window Contamination Warning Function

This is a function to warn the optical window contamination by blinking the 7-segment display number

before contamination level reaches the maximum limit causing the OSSD signals to switch to OFF state.

Cleaning the optical window at the blinking stage will prevent the unnecessary stop due to contamination
error. No specific configuration is necessary to activate this function.

Document No: C-61-00003-3

4. Application examples of UAM

The section describes some application examples of UAM and safety distance calculation in the

respective application. When using the UAM as protective equipment, guidelines below should be taken into

account.

Hazard should be identified and risk assessment should be carried out.
UAM should not be used for finger protection.

Working environment should be within the specification of UAM.
Safety distance must be determined in accordance to ISO 13855 and IEC 61496-3.

Operating the UAM beyond its specification could lead to critical injury and death.

4.1 Access protection (Horizontal application Stationary Protection zone 1)

In this kind of application, UAM is mounted horizontally to protect the hazardous area (Figure 4-1).

The protection zone is configured around the hazardous area to prevent the entry of human beings or object.

Warning zone 1 and Warning zone 2 are configured surrounding the protection zone. Warning zones are used
for alerting human beings or object from approaching the protection zone and preventing unnecessary stops

of the protected machine. Any objects or human beings detected in the protection zone will cause the OSSD
signal to switch to OFF-state from ON-state. Any objects and/or human beings detected in the warning zones
will cause the warning signal to switch from ON-state to OFF-state. The safety distance for this application

is shown in figure 4-2 and 4-3.

Document No: C-61-00003-3

For safety distance calculation:

S = (K × (Tm + Ts )) + C + Zs

where:

S = Safety distance (mm)
K = Approach speed 1600 (mm/s)
Tm = Maximum stopping/run-down time of the machine or system (s)

Ts = Response time of UAM (s)
C = 1200-0.4×H≧850
H = the height at which the protective field is mounted (mm)
1000≧H≧15× (d−50)

d = Minimum detectable object width (mm)
Zs= UAM tolerance distance (mm)

User must ensure the distance between the hazard zone edge and origin of the

protection zone “a” must be less than the minimum detectable width. In application
where the value of “a” is greater than the minimum detectable width, additional
protective measures should be taken to prevent penetration through this unprotected
area.
UAM should not be mounted higher than 300mm to prevent the possibility of
crawling beneath the detection plane.
For applications which require the UAM to be mounted higher than 300mm,
additional measures should be taken to prevent intrusion beneath the detection plane.
If UAM is mounted in a public area, the height of the detection plane should be
reduced to 200mm or to the height required by regulations of the local authority.

It is recommended to mark the floor of the protection zone.
Distance tolerance should be taken into account when configuring the safety distance.
Additional tolerance should be applied when UAM is used in the presence of high reflective
background.

User should ensure that boundary or protective measures used are not included inside the
protected zone. They will be detected as obstacles causing the OSSD to remain in OFF-state.

User should ensure the gap of 100mm between the protection zone and the distance of the wall
“b” to prevent the detection by the sensor.

4.2 Access protection (Stationary Horizontal application with Dual
Protection zone)
In this kind of application, UAM is mounted horizontally to simultaneously protect two hazardous areas

(Figure 4-4). Protection zones are configured around the hazardous area to prevent the entry of human

beings or object. Warning zone cannot be configuration in dual protection mode. Any objects or human

beings detected in the protection zones will switch the respective OSSD signal to OFF state from ON-state.
In this configuration it is possible to protect two equipment using a single UAM.

Document No: C-61-00003-3

The safety distance for this application is shown in figure 4-1.

Protection zone 1
Protection zone 2
Figure 4-4 Example Horizontal application of access protection (Dual protection zone)

4.3 Access protection (Vertical application- whole body detection)

UAM can be used as a protective shield by mounting it vertically (Figure 4-5). Application shown in the

figure is generally used in preventing the access to hazardous area. When an object or human enter the
passage, OSSD signal will switch from ON-state to OFF-state.

In this configuration, UAM detects objects or human beings in vertical plane. It is not possible to detect an

object or human being at the front or back side of the detection plane. Therefore, caution should be taken

while setting the distance between the detection plane and hazardous area. Configure the shortest response
time of UAM not exceeding 90ms. Always use reference monitoring function in such applications to detect
the displacement of fences and UAM which may expose the hazardous area. OSSD signal will switch to

OFF state when the position of reference is changed. The safety distance for this application is shown in
figure 4-6 and 4-7.

Ts = Response time of UAM (s)

C = Additional distance of 850mm by considering arm intrusion (mm)

User should ensure that the width of unprotected zone “a” is smaller than the
minimum detectable width. If the value of “a” is greater than minimum detectable

width, additional protective measures should be taken to prevent the penetration
through this unprotected zone.

In the access protection application where the angle of approach exceeds ±30º,
“Reference monitoring” function should be used with 100mm tolerance range for the
reference zone. Response time should be configured below 90ms in such application.

Reference segments should be configured on each sides of reference boundary.
UAM should be mounted in such a way that accessibility towards hazardous point is

impossible. Use additional protective measures if necessary.

Tolerance should be taken in account when configuring the reference segments.

4.4 Access protection (Vertical application Stationary)

Figure 4-8 shows an example to prevent the access when part of the body is approached near the

hazardous area. If objects or part of body enters such area, OSSD signal switches to OFF state from ON-state.
UAM detects an object or human being in vertical plane in such configuration. It is not possible to detect an

object or human being at the front or back side of the detection plane. Therefore, caution should be taken

while deciding the distance between approaching point and hazardous area. The width of protection zone
should be sufficient to protect the hazardous area. Always use reference monitor function in such

applications to detect the displacement of fences and UAM which may expose the hazardous area. OSSD
signal will switch to OFF state when the position of reference is changed. The safety distance for this
application is shown in figure 4-8 and 4-9. Refer to section 7 for configuring the protection zone.

In the access protection application, where the angle of the approach exceeds ±30º,

Reference segments should be configured on each sides of reference boundary.

For detection of body parts, minimum detectable width should be configured as 30mm.

“Reference boundary monitoring” function should be used.

Tolerance of the reference segment should be less than 100mm.

UAM should be mounted in such a way that it is impossible to access the hazardous
point. Use additional protective measures if necessary.

When the S > 500mm, value for K can be replace with 1600mm/s instead of 2000mm/s.

However, minimum value of S will be 500mm in such cases.

4.5 Area protection (Horizontal application Mobile) Fixed area

UAM can be used for mobile applications such as AGV (Figure 4-10). It is installed on an AGV to

detect objects while travelling along a fixed route. Warning signals in such application can be used for
reducing the speed and stop the AGV. A maximum 32 area sets can be used to match the travel route of the

AGV. Confirm the time and distance required for the AGV to stop completely when configuring the
protection and warning zones. The safety distance for this application is shown in figure 4-11 and 4-12.

where:

S = Safety distance (mm)

V = Maximum approaching speed of AGV (mm/s)

Tm = Maximum stopping/run-down time of the machine or system (s)

Zg = Additional of distance with the lack of ground clearance (mm)
h = Ground clearance (mm)

When using the UAM on an AGV, user should confirm the time and distance required for the AGV to

stop completely as it will move forward during the response time of UAM. It is important to note that
distance required to stop is not proportional to the speed, but proportional to the square of the speed.

Further, sufficient ground clearance should be provided to prevent injuries, such as, hitting the toes.

Figure 4-13 shows the relationship between ground clearance h and Zg.

Figure 4-13 The relationship between Zg and h

User should ensure that the width of unprotected area “a” is smaller than the minimum

detectable width. When the distance “a” is greater than minimum detectable width,
additional protective measures should be taken to prevent the penetration through this

unprotected area.
UAM should not be mounted higher than 200mm to prevent the possibility of crawling
beneath the detection plane.
Detection plane should not be inclined as this could lead to the failure of UAM to detect
an object with a diameter of 200mm.

User should ensure that boundary or protective measures used are not inside the configured
protected zone. It will be detected as obstacles causing the OSSD to remain in OFF-state.

4.10 Area protection (Mobile, Horizontal, Autonomous Navigation)

UAM monitors both protection and warning zones and simultaneously transfers the measured data of

the surrounding through the Ethernet to the main control unit of AGV. Supplied data can be used for
autonomous route selection. For such systems, there is no need to install guidance means such as optical

beacons or electromagnetic tapes on the floor. Refer to UAM-05LP communication protocol (C-64-00012)

for the Ethernet communication protocol.

5. Installation

Cautions during the installation of UAM are explained in this chapter.

5.1 Light interference

UAM uses pulsed laser for object detection. Light sources in the surrounding could interfere with its

operation leading to false detection. User should examine the surroundings environments before installing

the UAM. Some of the light sources that could interfere with UAM are as below.

Incandescent light

Stroboscopic light

Fluorescent light
Flashing beacon
Sunlight

Infrared light sources

In case the light source cannot be avoided during the operation, UAM should be installed with the light

source located at ±5 degrees or more from the detection plane to prevent the interference (Figure 5.1).

Figure 5-1 Installation to avoid light interference

User should perform risk assessment for light interference in the working

Avoid direct light such as stroboscopic, flashing beacon, fluorescent.

environment before the installation.

Failing to comply with the above could lead to critical injury or death.

User should verify detection capability before actual operation.

Document No: C-61-00003-3

5.2 Mutual interference

Cautions are required while using two or more units of UAM or identical products as pulsed laser signal

from one another could lead to false detection. Figures below show the installation method for avoiding the
mutual interference.

a) Changing the height of installation

Install at different heights to separate the mutual detection plane by 5 degrees or more.

Figure 5-2 Opposite facing installation

Figure 5-3 Parallel installation

Document No: C-61-00003-3

b) Changing the angle of installation

Change the installation angle of UAM by 5 degrees or more from the mutual detection plane.

Figure 5-4 Opposite facing installation

Figure 5-5 Parallel installation
C) Adding a shield between UAMs

Add a shield between UAMs such that laser beam of one unit cannot reach the other to avoid the possible

mutual interference.

Figure 5-6 Opposite facing installation

Document No: C-61-00003-3

Figure 5-7 Parallel installation

Shielding material should be opaque.

5.3 High reflective background

Measured value will be longer than the actual distance of the object due to high reflective background

leading to wrong OSSD output. When high reflective background cannot be avoided in the working
environment, additional distance of 200mm is necessary while configuring the protection and warning zones
(Figure 5-8). Refer to UAM’s specification for the required distance tolerance.

* Additional distance : Required additional distance when operating UAM under high reflective background

Figure 5-8 Additional distance in high reflective background

Document No: C-61-00003-3

Measured value will be longer than actual distance of the object if the

background is highly reflective. Additional distance should be included when
configuring the protection zone.

High reflective background (Ex.: Mirror, corner cube reflector, reflective safety

jacket, road reflector) should be avoided. Reflectance caused by these materials
could lead to false detection in the protection zone.

Verify the configured areas before actual operation.

Failing to comply with the above could lead to critical injury or death.

5.4 Limited detection capability zone

The limited detection capability zone is defined as a region between the optical window and start of the

detection zone. The limited detection capability zone of the UAM is 90mm from the origin of UAM (Figure
5-9). Presence of object with low reflectance may not be detected in this zone.

Figure 5-9 Limited detection capability zone

User should perform risk assessment for possibility of object penetration into
the limited detection capability zone.
