Since April 20 , 2016 the main European directives applicable to Datalogic products require inclusion of an adequate analysis and assess- ment of the risk(s). This evaluation was carried out in relation to the applicable points of the standards listed in the Declaration of Conformity.
CHAPTER 1 GENERAL INFORMATION GENERAL DESCRIPTION The safety light curtains are optoelectronic multi-beam devices that are used to protect working areas that, in presence of machines, robots, and automatic systems in general, can become dangerous for operators that can get in touch, even accidentally, with mov- ing parts.
As the required knowledge may not be completely included in this manual, we suggest the customer to contact Datalogic Technical Service for any necessary information rela- tive to the functioning of the light curtains and the safety rules that regulate the correct installation (see "...
HOW TO CHOOSE THE DEVICE HOW TO CHOOSE THE DEVICE There are at least three different main characteristics that should be considered when choosing a safety light curtain, after having evaluated the risk assessment. Detection capability The detection capability (or resolution) of the device is the minimum diameter that an opaque object must have in order to obscure at least one of the beams that constitute the detection zone and to actuate the sensing device.
The controlled height is the height protected by the safety light curtain. Figure 2 - Detection zone The SLIM controlled height extends up to the whole height of the product (zero dead- zone). The available dimensions are listed in the following table:...
Page 15
HOW TO CHOOSE THE DEVICE Referring to the figure above the protected height is reported in the table here below. CONTROLLED HEIGHT MODEL Hp (mm) SLX-XX-0150-E SLX-XX-0210-E SLX-XX-0270-E SLX-XX-0300-E SLX-XX-0330-E SLX-XX-0360-E SLX-XX-0390-E SLX-XX-0420-E SLX-XX-0450-E SLX-XX-0480-E SLX-XX-0510-E SLX-XX-0540-E SLX-XX-0570-E SLX-XX-0600-E SLX-XX-0630-E SLX-XX-0660-E SLX-XX-0690-E SLX-XX-0720-E...
C=850 mm for devices with resolution > 40 mm • R = Resolution of the system K value is: 2000 mm/s if the calculated value of S is ≤ 500 mm 1600 mm/s if the calculated value of S is > 500 mm NOTE 6 SLIM...
Page 17
HOW TO CHOOSE THE DEVICE When devices with > 40 mm resolution are used, the height of the top beam has to be ≥ 900 mm (H2) from machine supporting base while the height of the bottom beam has to be ≤ 300 mm (H1). If the safety light curtain must be mounted in a horizontal position (Figure 5) the dis- tance between the dangerous area and the most distant optical beam must be equal to the value calculated using the following formula:...
The small dimensions of the profile of SLIM (15 mm x 32 mm) makes it also possible to hide the light curtain inside the structure of machine itself.
Page 19
Three units can be cascaded and used as a single light curtain, reaching the total length of 3600 mm. The small dimensions of the profile of SLIM (15 mm x 32 mm) makes it also possible to hide the light curtain inside the structure of machine itself.
The Restart button must be located outside the dangerous zone because the oper- ator must check the dangerous zone during all Restart operations. Please carefully read the instructions for the correct functioning before powering the light curtain on. NOTE 10 SLIM...
The presence of intense electromagnetic disturbances could affect device’s cor- rect operation. • This condition shall be carefully assessed with the advice of DATALOGIC Technical Service. • The operating distance of the device can be reduced in presence of smog, fog or airborne dust.
Figure 1 - Wrong light curtain positioning Figure 2 - Correct light curtain positioning If the operator is able to enter in the dangerous area, an additional mechanical protection must be mounted to prevent the access. CAUTION 12 SLIM...
GENERAL INFORMATION ON DEVICE POSITIONING Under standard operating conditions, machine starting must not be possible while operators are inside the dangerous area. Where it is not possible to install safety light curtain very near to the dangerous zone, a second light curtain must be mounted in a horizontal position in order to prevent any lateral access, as shown in Figure 4.

GENERAL INFORMATION ON DEVICE POSITIONING Distance between homologous devices The following graphic shows the distance from the interfering devices (Ddo) according to the operating distance (Ddo) of the couple ( TXA – RXA ). If different safety devices have to be installed in adjacent areas, the emitter of one device must not interfere dangerously with the receiver of the other device.

GENERAL INFORMATION ON DEVICE POSITIONING Minimum distance for cascaded system Figure 10 - Minimum distance for cascaded system In a cascade system with a protective field width of up to 3m a minimum distance Ddo of 263mm must be maintained between Master and Slave 2 unit in order to avoid inter- ference.
Even very small displacements of the mirror is enough to lose alignment. • The use of DATALOGIC laser pointer accessory is recommended under these condi- tions. • The minimum safety distance (S) must be respected for each single section of the beams.
GENERAL INFORMATION ON DEVICE POSITIONING Controls after first installation The control operations to carry-out after the first installation and before machine start- up are listed hereinafter. The controls must be carried-out by qualified personnel, either directly or under the strict supervision of the person in charge of machinery Safety. Check that: •...

GLOSSARY AOPD (Active optoelectronic protective device) Its detection function is achieved thanks to the use of optoelectronic receivers and emitters detecting the optical beams interruptions inside the device caused by an opaque object present inside the specified detecting area. An active optoelectronic protective device (AOPD) can operate both in emitter-receiver mode and in retro-reflective light curtains.
