- Page 7 SMARTSCAN 5K8 SERIES LIGHT CURTAIN Figure G shows the functions table for the 5K8 series Safety Outputs (F1) – 5K8 series safety light curtains have cross-monitored output switching relays mounted inside the receiver column. The output relays provide two safety ‘volt free’ forcibly guided switching contacts which are internally connected to the wires in the multi-core user cable ‘B’...
- Page 8 The lamp acts as a visual warning indicator and will be illuminated during a mute condition, i.e. pallet transfer. Mute enable input (F10) – It is a control requirement for the 5K8 series that an additional 3 mute input is provided via the conveyor run signal so as to maintain a high level of safety integrity.
- Page 9 SMARTSCAN 5K8 SERIES LIGHT CURTAIN Activate (F13) - A push button or key switch is required, having a N/O switch contact. Connect the blue (BU) wire from the user cable (B) to one side of the switch and the other side of the switch to L- (0v dc).

- Page 22 SMARTSCAN 5K8 SERIES LIGHT CURTAIN APPENDIX 1 Mirrors Reflector mirrors can be provided enabling two or three sides of a machine to be safeguarded with, what is effectively a single light curtain. When mirrors are employed it is essential that the mounting of the transmitter unit, receiver unit and mirrors themselves are sufficiently rigid.
- Page 23 SMARTSCAN 5K8 SERIES LIGHT CURTAIN APPENDIX 1 Alignment through one mirror 1. Secure the transmitter, receiver and mirror units in the position in which they are intended to be used. 2. Ensure all units are perfectly upright in all planes by using a sprit level.
- Page 24 SMARTSCAN 5K8 SERIES LIGHT CURTAIN APPENDIX 1 Alignment though two mirrors 9. Follow instruction 1-4 10. A second person must adjust the position of the first mirror to the left and to the right until the entire length of the second mirror is reflected in the first mirror.
- Page 25 SMARTSCAN 5K8 SERIES LIGHT CURTAIN APPENDIX 1 16. Now turn on the power to the light curtain and check that the green LED beam indicator, mounted on the receiver unit is ‘on’. If not, it may be necessary to finely adjust each mirror in turn to ensure the infra-red energy from the transmitter unit is being reflected through the mirror(s) to the corresponding receiver unit.
