periodically transmits light pulses within an operating range of
190°.
periodically transmits light pulses within an operating range of

If the pulses hit an obstruction or a person, the light is reflected
and then received and evaluated by the LS4 laser scanner. The
scanner calculates the precise coordinates of the obstruction
"seen" from the light propagation time.

If the obstruction or the person is located within defined ranges,
a Stop function is executed. Switch-off is then performed via the
