It is the responsibility of the owners, users and operators of the Magnetek Products to know, understand and follow all of these requirements. It is the responsibility of the employer to make its employees aware of all of the above listed requirements and to make certain that all operators are properly trained.
1.3. DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION, and NOTE Statements Read and understand this manual before installing, operating, or servicing this product. Install the product according to this manual and local codes. The following conventions indicate safety messages in this manual. Failure to heed these messages could cause fatal injury or damage products and related equipment and systems.
1.4. Collision Avoidance Unit Warnings WARNING Range detector relays should never be electrically or mechanically disabled to be ON or OFF for any crane motion. If the unit is for any reason disengaged or turned off the crane operating personnel must be notified immediately, and proper alternate precautions should be taken.
Class 1 Laser Device The Magnetek Collision Avoidance System contains a Class 1 laser with a 660 nm wavelength. Although the laser is eye-safe, it is recommended that no one look directly into the laser with their eye close to the lens of the laser unit.
A rugged, fully adjustable mount is also supplied with the system, along with a reflective target. The target is mounted on the wall or other crane that is going to be protected by the collision avoidance system. The LSU contains three fully adjustable range detectors and a fault detector. The range detectors are adjustable to trip the relays from approximately 8 in.

3. Installation Information NOTE: In the event that parts of an original LaserGuard system are used with the LaserGuard2, please refer to the LaserGuard2 Replacement Guide Application Bulletin on http://www.magnetek.com. CAUTION THE LASER CONTROL UNIT AND RELAYS ARE NOT RATED AS EXPLOSION PROOF. THE UNIT MUST NOT BE INSTALLED IN EXPLOSIVE ENVIRONMENTS UNLESS APPROPRIATE SECONDARY ENCLOSURE MEASURES ARE TAKEN.
3.4. Mechanical Installation The Collision Avoidance System measures the distance between the laser unit's lens and the target surface. There must be no projections on the wall or the overhead crane that may extend in front of either (or both) the laser unit or the companion target. Make sure the laser is mounted such that nothing can come between the laser's view of the target.

Install the laser and the target in the positions found the previous figure. Mount the laser securely to a solid surface so that the crane’s load or movement will not affect the laser’s alignment. The laser and laser support unit should also be mounted as close to the control panel as possible to minimize long cable runs.

3.5. Electrical Installation The laser unit interface cable and all other wiring should be run in separate 1/2" or 3/4" conduit. Do not run any other cables in the same conduit with the laser head cable. A suitable disconnect should be provided by the installer. Run conduit between the laser support unit and the crane's control panel.

Magnetek Customer Service. Turn on the power to the laser support unit and note that the green LED on the laser head is on continuously after a few seconds.
3.6. Mechanical Alignment Loosen the bolt on the bottom of the mounting rod and the screw on the clamp so the laser head can be angled up and down, and from left to right with just enough friction so the laser head does not fall over on its own.
3.9. Troubleshooting NOTE: Please refer to Table 1 for the Laser Diagnostic LED Functions referred to in this section. If the green LED on the laser head flashes at 4Hz, the laser has short circuited. Replace the laser unit. Do not try to service it.

Table 1: Laser Diagnostic LED Functions NOTE: See Figure 13 for LED locations. COLOR FUNCTION Laser Head Green Monitors voltage to the Laser Head Operating Display Normally ON. Laser Head Yellow Monitors target acquisition. Signal Normally ON when target is acquired. It turns off when the laser is off the target, out of range, or has a dirty lens.

Addendum #: 147-20054 R0 February 2015 LaserGuard2 Systems LaserGuard2 Systems Using a Special Laser Addendum to: LaserGuard2 Collision Avoidance System Instruction Manual (147-20004) A special laser will be marked with a label to indicate it has a sensing distance that deviates from the standard distance of 5 to 150 ft.

Addendum #: 147-20066 R0 March 2015 LaserGuard2 Systems LaserGuard2 Systems Retrofit Addendum to: LaserGuard2 Collision Avoidance System Instruction Manual (147-20004) Parts of an older LaserGuard system and a new LaserGuard2 system can be used together and function properly, but it may require slight adjustments to the wiring or trip point set-up. If an old Laser Support Unit is used with a new LaserGuard2 laser head, adjustment from the existing cable to the control board would be required, as the laser pin out has changed.
