Abstract

An optoelectronic apparatus for securing a source of danger in a spatial zone includes at least one image sensor that works in the infrared spectrum and that can generate range-resolved data of the spatial zone as well as an evaluation unit that is configured for the evaluation of the data for the detection of objects in a three-dimensional protected space within the spatial zone, wherein the source of danger is additionally at least partly secured by a mechanical partition that is at least very largely permeable to visually visible light. To provide a solution that prevents or at least reduces disturbing optical influences from outside the partition, it is proposed that the partition is coated with a layer such that the non-coated layer that is at least partly transparent for the image sensor is visible for the image sensor in a defined manner through the layer and is opaque.
