Manual, Collision Sensor Switch Replacement,SR‑61 Document #9610‑60‑1014‑02 1.3 Safety Precautions WARNING: Do not perform maintenance or repair on the Collision Sensor with air pressure applied, current supplied to the sensor, or the robot not in a safe condition. Injury or equipment damage can occur if this is not observed. Always ensure that air pressure has been vented from the unit, that electrical current is not supplied to the Collision Sensor’s signal circuit, and that the robot is in a safe, locked‑out condition consistent with local and national safety standards before performing maintenance or...
Manual, Collision Sensor Switch Replacement,SR‑61 Document #9610‑60‑1014‑02 1.4 Electrical Connection The Collision Sensor is connected to the user’s control wiring as a normally‑open PNP or NPN proximity switch. The following sketch details the connections between the internal switch and the pins in the connector block assembly.
Manual, Collision Sensor Switch Replacement,SR‑61 Document #9610‑60‑1014‑02 1.4.1 Test Switch Functionality Once the Collision Sensor has been installed and connected as described in the preceding paragraphs, proper electrical operation of the unit may be confirmed. Supply the Collision Sensor with approximately 15 psi (1 bar) and ensure that the unit is 1.1.
