5.2.2.1.3 AOPD
!If an electro-sensitive protective equipment (ESPE) as defined in EN ISO 13855:2010, 3.1.4,
employing active optoelectronic protective devices (AOPD as defined in EN ISO 12100:2010, 3.28.6,
laser scanner (AOPDDR) and vision-based protective devices (VBPD) included), is used the following
requirements apply:
a) If a protective device which detects an area (for instance light curtain, multi-beam device, laser
scanner) and/or a volume (for instance vision-based protective device), is used:
1) the distance between the AOPD/AOPDDR and the edge of the hopper shall be less than 20 mm,
and
2) the whole upper opening of the hopper shall be detected by the protective device, and
3) the distance between the beams shall be ≤ 70 mm, and
4) the minimum distance S between the safeguard and any hazard zone shall be calculated,
according to the overall system stopping performance, as defined in EN ISO 13855:2010.
NOTE The distance between the beams means the detection capability of the AOPD, see EN ISO 13855:2010,
6.2.3.
b) If a one beam light barrier is used around the upper edge of the hopper:
1) the stopping time shall be less than 0,35 s, and
2) the distance between the one-beam light barrier and the edge of the hopper shall be less than
or equal to 8 mm, and
3) the height of the protective structure and the position of danger zone shall comply with
EN ISO 13857:2008, Table 2, and
4) a distance bar shall be provided when the vertical d
