Safety and warning zones must be configured so that they maintain a distance of 100mm from the wall or fixtures at the range of 3 m or less and at least 110 mm at the range greater than 3 m.
While executing the [Sculpting] command, a warning zone cannot be set with the range exceeding 10 meters (when using the OS32C-XX-4M warning zones can not exceed 15 meters). Use [Edit Zones] or [Convert Shape To] command to modify the shape of the warning zone.
The scanning zone information from the OS32C can be used for zone configuration. The desired safety zone can be traced within the scanning range of the OS32C. Zone configuration based on this data is called sculpting.
To configure a zone with sculpting, follow the steps shown below.
- From the Configuration menu, select Sculpting.
- The sculpting data displayed on the screen is based on the scanning information sent from the OS32C.
- To redo the configuration, exit sculpting mode by clicking the Cancel button on the Save Sculpting Data window and re-entering sculpting mode.
- If sculpting data displayed on the screen is correct, select the zone to which the configured sculpting data is to be assigned by using the pull-down menus in the Save Sculpting Data window.
- Click the Save or Edit Zone button.
- To enable Reference Bounding Monitoring (RBM), select the desired zone for RBM and then click the Start RBM Sculpting button.
- The scanner will then take approximately 50 second to measure the boundary.
- It is important not to change the boundary during this time since the scanner will be re-scanning the area and taking an average of the distances.
- Select the points to be used for RBM.
- To select all the points in the zone for RBM, right-click on the display screen and select Set All as Reference Boundary.
- To select a group of point to be used for RBM, right-click on the display and select Select a Group of Points.
Right-click on the display screen again and select Set Point as Reference Boundary
Repeat this step as needed.
To cancel RBM for the zone, right-click on the display screen and select Set All as Non-Reference Boundary and select Save Reference Boundary Setting.
- When done selecting the points for RBM, right-click on the display screen and select Save Reference Boundary Settings.
- Now that the Reference Boundary is set, click OK in the prompt.
- Specify the allowed tolerance for RBM. This parameter can be configured from 5cm to 10cm.
- Send the created zone information to the OS32C for registration.
- From the configuration menu, click Send to Sensor/Enter CFG Mode, All Changes.
- Follow the instructions displayed.
- Follow the prompt to reset the OS32C. Configuration is complete.
