Mount FF-LS Series safety light curtains so that any entry into protected area must interrupt sensing field or activate other
safeguarding devices.
Install fixed barrier or additional safety light curtains to prevent operating personnel from reaching around, under, or over the
sensing field.
Failure to comply with these instructions could result in death or serious injury.
IMPROPER SYSTEM PERFORMANCE
Comply with local safety requirements when designing the machine control interface and all the control elements that affect
safety.
Ensure the BEAM NUMBER on the red label located on the sensing units (A and B) and the control unit are ALL THE
SAME.
Install two independent safety relay contacts into machine control stop circuit controlled by FF-LS Series safety light curtain.
Ensure two independent stop circuit relays have mechanically linked contacts to reliably detect a welded contact.
