Calucalation wizard for the height of a fixed guard for applications with low risk acc. to DIN EN 13857

Obstacles with a height under 1000 mm are not included since they do not satisfactorily limit the movement.

Obstacles under 1400 mm should not be used without additional safety-related measures, since these obstacles are too easy to climb over.
