6.5 - Addresing possible circumventing of electro-sensitive protective equipment by reaching over the detection zone

Last edit: 15/05/2023

Access to the hazard zone by circumventing of the electro-sensitive protective equipment shall be avoided.
The minimum distance, S, in millimetres from the detection zone to the hazard zone for prevention of circumventing by reaching over the safeguarding shall not be less than that calculated using the following Equation:

S=(K×C)+C_RO

For C_RO, the values in Table 1 shall apply.
