14 Technical Data 14.1 Safety Light Barriers 14.2 Individual Light Barrier Control Unit 15 Checklist 16 Certification 17 EC Declaration of Conformity 17.1 Declaration of conformity for Individual Safety Light Barrier Control Units SS2 36 17.2 Declaration of conformity for Safety Through Beam Sensor SL2 Due to the fact that they describe the operation of a safety device, these operating instructions are of a binding nature.
The ESPE consists of an Individual Light Barrier Control Unit to which as many as four sensors can be connected. Use of the Individual Light Barrier Control Unit is only permitted with wenglor SL2-00 Light Barriers (see section 13 for order designations). Safety category 2 and Performance Level c is otherwise not assured.
1.4 Brief Explanation Contactor Monitoring An operating mode for which switching performance of the contacts at an external relay is dynamically monitored. The contacts must close fully within a specified period of time. Muting Mode Objects can be fed through the safety field without switching the safety output in this operating mode. OSSD (Output Signal Switching Device) The output of the contactless safety device which is connected to the machine controls.
2.2 Securing the Danger Zone The danger zone must be secured by means of the light barriers alone, or by means of the light barriers in combination with additional mechanical safety devices. Reaching around, over and/or under the safety field must be prevented in any case.
2.3.1 Perpendicular Approach to the Safety Field A minimum installation height of 750 mm from the reference level is required for the use of a light barrier C = Margin for penetration into the dan- ger zone before the safety device is tripped (never <...
2.3.2 Parallel Approach to the Safety Field If this safety concept is used, the height of the safety field (H) may not be any greater than 1000 mm. If H is greater than 300 mm (or 200 mm for non-industrial applications, e.g. if children are present), one runs the risk of inadvertent, undetected access from underneath the safety field.
After the light barriers have been mechanically mounted (see operating instructions for SL2-00), the SS2-00VA000R3 control unit is linked to the machine’s controller. The OSSD outputs must be connected to the machine’s safety circuit such that safety category 2 is still complied with.
If several control units are mounted next to each other, a minimum clearance of 2 cm must be maintained between the units in order to avoid overheating. The control unit must be provided with 24 V DC ± 20% supply power. External power supply must comply with EN 60204-1.

4 Inputs 4.1 Test Input A self-test is started at the control unit by applying 24 V DC to the test input (terminal 16). When the control unit’s safety inputs are activated, the control unit indicates that testing is being executed by shutting down the transmitters at the connected safety light barriers, and thus simulating penetration of the protected area.

• Control contacts K1-1 and K2-1 (terminal 20, block B) must be capable of switching a current of 20 mA and a voltage of 24 V DC. • In order to extend the service life of internal relays A and B, suitable interference suppressors should be used which are connected to the ends of the windings at L1 and L2 (block A).
• 0 V is applied to the output when muting is deactivated. • 24 V DC is applied to the output when muting is active. The muting indicator is an optical indicator lamp (e.g. wenglor’s SM0-00CA000C1). This output is also a PNP output.
• The sensors should detect the material only, and not the means of conveyance (e.g. pallet). Muting Sensor Muting Sensor sensors should detect load, and not the pallet. Material Pallet Conveyor Level • The material must be detected throughout the entire muting zone, i.e. the sensors’ output signals must remain unchanged.
Muting is only possible when the entire muting system is connected. This includes both muting sensors and the muting indicator. Any wenglor light barrier with an antivalent PNP output (the output must read out 24 V as long as the light beam is unobstructed) can be used as a muting sensor.

Errors are eliminated in accordance with the following errors table. If an error occurs continuously, a trained specialist must be consulted. If necessary, the Individual Light Barrier Control Unit must be returned for repair.
