  • Page 3: Introduction

    PHOTOELECTRIC MEASUREMENT LIGHT CURTAIN  Micron light curtains MUST NOT be used as safety devices for protection of operators in hazardous areas. INTRODUCTION The Micron photoelectric light curtain is a multi-beam optoelectronic system consisting of an emitter and a receiver, used to detect or measure objects. The two units can be synchronised via optical link or cable.
  • Page 4: Working Range

    PHOTOELECTRIC MEASUREMENT LIGHT CURTAIN Working range  Particular operating conditions may affect the sensing level of photo-electric devices. In environments characterised by fog, rain, fumes or dust, to always guarantee correct operation of the appliance, it is advisable to apply suitable correction factors Cf so as to maximum working range values. In these cases: Pu = Pm x Fc where Pu and Pm are, respectively, the working and maximum range expressed in metres.
  • Page 5: Electrical Connections

    PHOTOELECTRIC MEASUREMENT LIGHT CURTAIN ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS  Perform the connections as shown in below tables, in order to ensure the correct functioning of the barrier.  We recommend the use of separate power supplies for the barrier and for other electrical power equipment (electric motors, inverters, frequency converters) or other sources of disturbance.
