It must not be possible to start the plant/system as long as personnel are within the hazardous area. The WSU/WEU26-3 devices are intended only for use in industrial environments. When used in residential areas it can cause radio interferences.
All warranty claims against SICK AG are forfeited in the case of any other use, or alterations being made to the WSU/WEU26@3 devices, even as part of their mounting or installation.
Operating principle of the device The single-beam photoelectric safety switch consists of a WSU26-3 sender unit and a WEU26-3 receiver. The sender unit WSU26-3 emits a beam of light that is received by the receiver unit WEU26-3. Fig. 1: Key data for the WSU/WEU26&3 devices...
Mechanical mounting WSU26-3 and WEU26-3 are to be mounted to suit the local conditions on one of the sides of their housing or using the mounting bracket. The mounting bracket significantly eases alignment. The device can be operated in any position. WSU26-3 and WEU26-3 are, however, to be mounted such that the axis of the beam emitted by the WSU26-3 is always aligned with the axis of the WEU26-3 optics (alignment sight, see Fig.
Design: encapsulated in plastic; Connection wires NYAF Ø 0.5 with cable lug; Mounting using adhesive film or cable tie. Cross-circuit monitoring The cables for the relay contacts are not monitored for cross-circuits by the WEU26-3. Suitable measures Take suitable measures for cross-circuit monitoring.
For optimal alignment the sender and receiver, the boundaries are to be determined by pivoting the sender unit and receiver unit horizontally and vertically. On leaving the related optical area, the yellow diagnostics LED on the WEU26-3 starts to illuminate. Then fasten sender and receiver in the middle of the optical area determined.
Static charges cause dust particles to be attracted to the front screen. You can reduce this Note effect by using the antistatic plastic cleaner (SICK part number 5600006) and the SICK lens cloth (part number 4003353). How to clean the front screen: Use a clean and soft brush to remove dust from the front screen.
EN 60204. Suitable power supplies are available as accessories from SICK. The maximum supply voltage limits must not be exceeded, minimum levels must be achieved. For detailed information on the exact design of your machine/system, please contact your local SICK representative.
