1.1. General description of the safety light curtains The safety light curtains of the SG2 series are optoelectronic multibeam devices that are used to protect working areas that, in presence of machines, robots, and automatic systems in general, can become dangerous for operators that can get in touch, even accidentally, with moving parts.
2 angled fixing brackets for models with heights included between 1200 and 1800 mm 1.2. New features compared to the SF2 Series The SG2-E safety light curtains, compared to the SF2 series, present the following new features: Increased operating distance ...
Instruction Manual SG2 EXTENDED 1.3. How to choose the device There are at least three different main characteristics that should be considered when choosing a safety light curtain, after having evaluated the risk assessment: 1.3.1. Resolution The resolution of the device is the minimum dimension that an opaque object must have in order to obscure at least one of the beams that constitute the sensitive area.
1.3.2. Controlled height The controlled height is the height protected by the safety light curtain (Hp) Fig. 2 The SG2-E controlled height is delimited by the yellow line pad-printed on the front glass and by the dimensions listed in the table: Controlled...
Instruction Manual SG2 EXTENDED 1.3.3. Minimum installation distance The safety device must be positioned at a specific safety distance (Fig. 3). This distance must ensure that the dangerous area cannot be reached before the dangerous motion of the machine has been stopped by the ESPE.
Page 10
SG2 EXTENDED Instruction Manual When devices with > 40 mm resolution are used, the height of the top beam has to be ≥ 900 mm (H from machine supporting base while the height of the bottom beam has to be ≤ 300 mm (H If the safety light curtain must be mounted in a horizontal position (Fig.4), the distance between the...
Page 11
Instruction Manual SG2 EXTENDED Practical examples: Let's suppose to have a light curtain with height = 600 mm 1) To calculate the distance of the device from the ESPE, in a vertical position, the following formula is used: S = K*T + C...
1.4. Typical applications The safety light curtains of the SG2 series are used in all automation fields where the control and protection of the access to dangerous areas are necessary. In particular, they are used to stop the moving of mechanical parts in: - Automatic machines;...
Page 13
Advantages: the SG2 light curtain meets the customer needs when easy access is necessary in presence of machine stops. Easy installation, configuration and use are other advantages. Example 3: Automatic warehouses Operator protection in automatic warehouses.
SG2 EXTENDED Instruction Manual 1.5. Safety information For a correct and safe use of the safety light curtains of the SG2 series, the following points must be observed: The stopping system of the machine must be electrically controlled. ...
Precautions to be observed for the choice and installation of the device Make sure that the protection level assured by the SG2 device (Type 2) is compatible with the real danger level of the machine to be controlled, according to EN 954-1 and EN13849.
SG2 EXTENDED Instruction Manual 2.2. General information on device positioning Pay special care when positioning the safety light curtain so to offer effective protection. The device should be installed in such a way that the dangerous area can only be entered after detecting the sensitive area.
Instruction Manual SG2 EXTENDED When the installation of the safety light curtain very near to the dangerous area is not possible, a second light curtain must be mounted in a horizontal position in order to prevent any lateral access, as shown in Fig.6b.
SG2 EXTENDED Instruction Manual 2.2.2. Minimum distance from reflecting surfaces Reflecting surfaces placed near the light beams of the safety device (over, under or laterally) can cause passive reflections. These reflections can compromise the recognition of an object inside the controlled area.
Page 19
Instruction Manual SG2 EXTENDED It is thus important to perfectly align the safety light curtain according to the minimum distance from reflecting surfaces. The minimum distance depends on: Working distance between emitter (TX) and receiver (RX) = operating distance ...
SG2 EXTENDED Instruction Manual 2.2.3. Emitter and receiver orientation The two units shall be installed parallel to each other, with the beams orthogonal respect to the emitting and receiving directions, with the connectors positioned in the same manner. The configurations shown in Fig. 9 must be avoided:...
The safety light curtain SG2-E is equipped with a selectable range to reduce interferences between adjacent curtains by selecting short range. See par. 6.5 for the selection and operation.

SG2 EXTENDED Instruction Manual The following solutions show alternative installation examples to be possibly used depending on application needs. Fig.11...
It is very hard to align the receiver and the transmitter when using deviating mirrors: a tiny angular shift of the mirror is enough to have a misalignment. For this reason the use of DATALOGIC AUTOMATION laser pointer is recommended.

SG2 EXTENDED Instruction Manual ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS All electrical connections to the emitting and receiving units are made through a male M12 connector, located on the lower part of the two units. For receiver a M12 8-pole connector is used, while for emitter a M12 4-pole connector is used.
RESTART 4.1. Notes on connections For the correct functioning of the SG2 safety light curtains, the following precautions regarding the electrical connections have to be respected: Do not place connection cables in contact with or near high-voltage cables and/or cable undergoing high current variations (e.g.

4.2. Earth connection SG2 safety light curtain units are preset for easy ground connection. A special compartment, positioned onto caps and marked with the special symbol shown in Figure 22, allows connection with ground cable by means of an additional screw coming with the equipment.
Instruction Manual SG2 EXTENDED ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE The alignment between the emitting and the receiving units is necessary to obtain the correct functioning of the light curtain. A good alignment prevents outputs instability caused by dust or vibrations. The alignment is perfect if the optical axes of the first and the last emitting unit’s beams coincide with the optical axes of the corresponding elements of the receiving unit.
SG2 EXTENDED Instruction Manual The standard installation described hereinafter is the one shown in Fig. 24, i.e. with the bar assembled with the connectors pointing down. 5.1. Correct alignment procedure The light curtain alignment can be effected only after having completed the mechanical installation and the electrical connections as described above.
Page 35
Instruction Manual SG2 EXTENDED Once the curtain has been aligned and correctly fastened, the display signal is useful both to check the alignment and show a change in the environmental conditions (occurrence of dust, light disturbance and so on) via signal level monitoring.
SG2 EXTENDED Instruction Manual FUNCTIONING MODE 6.1.

Instruction Manual SG2 EXTENDED 6.2. Test function The TEST function can be activated by keeping a normally open external contact (TEST push-button), open for at least 0.5 seconds. The TEST signal is active high. 6.3. Reset function The RX light curtain has a RESET function which is activated after an internal error. The reset can be made only in case of optical error, OSSD error EDM or manual/automatic restart selection (See chapter 7 “Diagnostic Functions”),.
SG2 EXTENDED Instruction Manual 6.4. EDM function The light curtain has a function for monitoring actuation external devices (EDM). This function can be enabled or deactivated. EDM enabled: - Disconnect or connect to the ground pin 3 of receiver M12 8-pole connector (EDM enabling = ON).
SG2 EXTENDED 6.5. Anti-interference function for range reduction The safety light curtain SG2-E can reduce interferences between adjacent curtains by selecting short range. Range is selected by connecting pin 4 of the transmitter M12 4-pole connector of the emitter (as specified in chapter.4).
6.6. Alignment aid function SG2-E is equipped with a system which informs the operator on the alignment obtained. The alignment function can be activated when powering the device, by keeping the normally open RESET/RESTART contact closed for at least 0.5 seconds (see Figure 24).
7.1. User interface Curtain operating status is displayed onto a 1-digit display both on receiver and transmitter. SG2-E also has four LEDs on the receiver and two LEDs on the emitter. Fig.26 shows all LEDs signalling modes ON, OFF and blinking.
