CE marking states the compliance of the product with essential requirements listed in the applicable
European directive. Since the directives and applicable standards are subject to continuous updates,
and since Datalogic promptly adopts these updates, therefore the EU declaration of conformity is a
living document. The EU declaration of conformity is available for competent authorities and customers
through Datalogic commercial reference contacts. Since April 20th, 2016 the main European directives
applicable to Datalogic products require inclusion of an adequate analysis and assessment of the
risk(s). This evaluation was carried out in relation to the applicable points of the standards listed in the
Declaration of Conformity. Datalogic products are mainly designed for integration purposes into more
complex systems. For this reason it is under the responsibility of the system integrator to do a new risk
assessment regarding the final installation.
Warning: This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio
interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.

1. GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1. General description of the AREAscanTM light grid
The AREAscanTM light grids are multibeam optoelectronic devices that can be used to detect objects,
including small and transparent targets as well as for measurement detection.
The variety of functions implemented make the DS2 a particularly flexible device that suits many
different applications.
The AREAscanTM light grids of the DS2 series are manufactured in accordance with the international
Standards in force and in particular:
CEI EN 60947-5-2:
low voltage proximity devices
CEI EN 50319:
proximity switches: requirements for proximity switches with analogue
output
The device, consisting of emitter and receiver units housed inside sturdy aluminium profiles, generates
infrared beams that detect any object positioned in the light grid’s detection field.
The command and control functions are inside the two units; the connections are made through M12
connectors located in the lower side of the profiles.
The synchronisation between the emitter and the receiver takes place via cable through direct
connection between the two units.
The control and management of the emitted and received beams are guaranteed by microprocessors.
The operator obtains information relative to the light grid status and error conditions through LEDs
located on the device and/or through the control interface of a remote PC.
Some parts or paragraphs of this manual, containing important information for the operator, are
proceeded by a note:
Notes and detailed descriptions about particular characteristics of the AREAscanTM devices have
been added to better explain functioning.
DATALOGIC Technical Support is available for questions related to the functioning and installation of
the DS2 series light grids and for any information and/or suggestions necessary for a correct
installation (see section 9 “Checks and periodical maintenance”).
AREAscanTM ARE NOT safety devices; the use of the device for safety purposes and operator
safeguarding is not conform and dangerous.
