Installation Guide
- First, mount the transmitter and receiver facing each other.
- Then, keep the beam axes aligned within the effective angular aperture.
- Also, use the 10 mm beam spacing for finger protection layouts.
- In addition, keep the detecting distance between 0.3 m and 12 m.
- Next, connect the 24 VDC supply with correct polarity.
- Moreover, use Class 2 power for stable operation.
- Also, route load wiring with resistance up to 2.5 Ω.
- For series connection, set the switches to prevent interference.
- Finally, check the ON state when all beam axes are received.
- Therefore, protect the front cover from heavy impact.
Commissioning and Maintenance
- First, verify alignment before machine start-up.
- Then, check OSSD output with a suitable tester.
- Also, confirm response time meets machine stop performance.
- Moreover, clean the front cover with a soft cloth.
- In addition, do not use abrasive cleaners on the polycarbonate cover.
- Next, inspect the cable and connector for damage.
- Also, check the IP65/IP67 seal after maintenance.
- Then, test the protective function at regular intervals.
- Furthermore, keep the unit within the operating temperature range.
- Finally, replace damaged units with the same model.
Compatibility Notes
- First, it works as a Type 4 ESPE / AOPD safety device.
