Intended Use

Safety AI is an industrial AI-based safety system intended to detect specified hazards within its configured field of view and to provide outputs that can be integrated into a machine's safety-related control system. The system shall be installed, configured, commissioned, and maintained only in accordance with this User Guide and the applicable product documentation.

Safety AI is intended for use only in applications for which it has been configured, verified, and validated. Any use outside the documented operating conditions, environmental specifications, or intended application is considered misuse.

Important Safety Information
