CONNECTION WITH 4 EXTERNAL SENSORS Using 4 sensors, two methods of operation are possible: Sequential (figure 7) The Muting function is activated following sequential interruption of Receiver sensors S1 and S2 and of sensors S3 and S4. It is important to remember that, for correct actuation of the Muting function, Emitter the sequence indicated in Figure 8 and Table 1 is required...

POSITIONING AND ADJUSTMENT OF SENSOR ELEMENTS FOR "ML" AND "MT" SERIES: As already mentioned, the pre-assembled JANUS "ML" and "MT" kit consist of a vertical light curtain and of one ("ML" series) or two ("MT" series) horizontal sensor element in which the Muting sensors are integrated.
CALCULATION OF THE SAFETY DISTANCE The light curtain must be positioned at a distance exceeding or equal to the minimum safety distance S so that a dangerous point can be reached only after stopping the dangerous action of the machine (Figure 16). Referring to European standard EN999, the minimum safety distance S must be calculated according to the following formula: S = K (t...

MULTIPLE SYSTEMS When several JANUS systems are used, these must not interfere optically with each other. Position the elements so that the beam emitted by the Emitter of a system is received only by the respective Receiver. Figure 21 provides various examples of correct positioning of two photo-electric systems.

JANUS JANUS Long Range SENSITIVE AREA EMITTER RECEIVER Figure 23 After installation, check for any reflective surfaces, intercepting the beams first of all at the center and those close to the Emitter and Receiver. During this procedure, the red led on the Receiver must never switch off.
Table 3 If a fault is detected, the led will indicate the type of alarm (ref. "TROUBLESHOOTING"). * The value of the selected range depends on the JANUS model. (Refer TECHNICAL DATA - page 31). 8540573 • 16/09/2016 • Rev.20...
This check is also indispensable in all cases of malfunctioning (ref. "TROUBLESHOOTING").

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS AND CONNECTORS Caution Before making the electrical connections, always check that the voltage available matches that indicated in the technical data. The Emitter and Receiver must be powered at 24V dc ±20%. The external power supply must comply with EN 60204. The electrical connections must be made according to the diagrams provided in this manual.

SELECTION OF THE MAXIMUM DURATION AND TYPE OF MUTING The inputs of the JANUS light curtain receiver make it possible to configure the various types of Muting available and the maximum duration of the Muting condition (timeout). At power-on, for correct functioning, the various inputs must be connected as indicated below.
MUTING OVERRIDE FUNCTION (“M” MODELS) The OVERRIDE function must be used when the machine stops due to incorrect Muting activation sequences with the material obstructing the guarded opening. In this situation, the OSSD outputs are not active as the light curtain and/or at least one Muting sensor is occupied.
The minimum duration of the TEST function must be 40 msec. SAFETY MODULES MJB1 - MJB2 - MJB3 - MJB4 JANUS light curtain can be integrated by the safety modules MJB1 - MJB2 - MJB3 and MJB4. In fact they contain terminal boards, pre-wired connection, dip switches for the configuration choice and two safety relays connected to the light curtain outputs.
4 of the Emitter according to table 6 (page 20) and to the "TEST FUNCTION" paragraph of page 26. For correct operation (in the case of JANUS "M" without the use of Muting) the muting light must be connected (pin 1) and the Muting mode must be configured correctly (pin 7-8-9-10) following the indications in Table 13.
JANUS is equipped with an output (pin 1 of connector M23 on the receiver) to which the indicator light can be connected and is able to monitor correct functioning of this and also that it is present.
CONFIGURATION AND OPERATION MODES J LR M12 The JANUS J LR M12 operation mode is selected realizing appropriate connections on the M12 8 poles of the active element (Table 15 and Table 16). AUTOMATICO MODE In this operation mode the OSSD1 and OSSD2 safety outputs follow the barrier status : ...
MANUAL MODE In this operating mode the safety outputs OSSD1 and OSSD2 are activated (+24VDC) only if the protected area is free and after the reception of the RESTART signal, using a push button or thank to an appropriate control on the SEL_A or SEL_B input (ref.Table ). After an interception of the protected area, the safety outputs will be de-activated.
