1 Preliminary note The instructions are part of the unit. They are intended for authorised persons according to the EMC and low voltage directives and safety regulations. The instructions contain information about the correct handling of the product. Read the instructions before use to familiarise yourself with operating conditions, installation and operation.
2 Safety instructions • Follow the operating instructions. • In case of non-observance of notes or standards, specially when tampering with and/or modifying the unit, any liability and warranty is excluded. • The unit must be installed, connected and put into operation by a qualified electrician trained in safety technology.
► For applications in the food industry contact your ifm branch office to check the compatibility of the materials of the photoelectric safety sensors with the chemicals used.
• 1 copy operating instructions photoelectric safety sensors, reference no. 704555. If one of the above-mentioned components is missing or damaged, please contact one of the ifm branch offices. 4 Functions and features transmitter (T) receiver (R) P = protected area;...
5 Function The protected area (P) is generated between the transmitter and the receiver and is defined by the protected area height (H) and the protected area width (range) (I). The protected area height is the height protected by the safety light curtain / safety light grid.
6 Installation 6.1 Installation instructions The following conditions are to be ensured before installation of the photoelectric safety sensors: • The degree of protection of the electro-sensitive equipment (ESPE) has to correspond with the risk assessment of the machine to be monitored. •...
Observe the following illustrations for correct installation of the photoelectric safety sensors. Correct installation Wrong installation 6.2 Calculation of the minimum safety distance There must be minimum safety distance between the photoelectric safety sensor and the point of danger. This distance must be ensured so that the point of danger cannot be accessed before the hazardous state of the machine has been stopped.
Page 11
► Install the photoelectric safety sensor at a distance that is greater or equal to the minimum safety distance (S) so that the hazardous area (A) can only be accessed after complete standstill of the hazardous machine motion. According to the European Standard ISO 13855 the following formula is to be used to calculate the minimum safety distance (S): S = K (t1 + t2) + C...
6.3 Vertical installation of the safety light curtains / light grids 6.3.1 Safety light curtains resolutions 30 mm and 40 mm These designs are suitable for access prevention of hands (hand protection). They must not be used for finger protection! The minimum safety distance (S) is determined using the following formula: S = 2000 (t...
6.3.2 Safety light curtains resolutions 50 mm and 90 mm, safety light grids 2, 3 and 4 beams These versions are suitable for access prevention for bodies or parts of bodies. They must not be used for finger or hand protection! The minimum safety distance (S) is determined using the following formula: S = 1600 (t...
6.4 Horizontal installation of the safety light curtains These versions are suitable for primary guarding for bodies or parts of bodies. With horizontal installation it has to be noted that the distance between the outer border of the hazardous area (A) and the outer light beam of the safety light curtain is greater than or equal to the minimum safety distance (S).
► Install the transmitter and the receiver using the supplied mounting accessories so that they are exactly opposite each other. ► Align the transmitter and the receiver so that they are in parallel at the same height and the plugs face the same direction. If vibrations are to be expected in your applications, it is recommended to use vibration dampers (available as accessory).
6.6 Distance of the reflecting surfaces Reflective surfaces close to photoelectric safety sensors can disable the safety function of the system. The minimum distance (D) depends on the protective area width (I) taking into consideration the projection and receiving angles. The minimum distance (D) between reflective surfaces and the protected area (P) must be observed.

6.7 Multiple systems The use of several safety light curtains / light grids can lead to malfunction and disable the protective function. The safety light curtains / light grids are to be installed so that the beam sent by the transmitter of a system can only be detected by the respective receiver. The following important rules for installation are to be observed to avoid mutual interference of several systems: Arrangement A...
6.8 Use of corner mirrors To protect and monitor hazardous areas with access from several sides one or several mirrors can be used (available as accessory). By using mirrors the light beam emitted by the transmitter can be sent via several access sides. ►...

– Functional earth For information about available sockets/connectors see: www.ifm.com → Products → Accessories Note: Lay the cables of the photoelectric safety sensors separately from sources of interference such as power lines. ► Connect the transmitter and the receiver to the functional earth.
8 Operating modes The different operating modes of the safety light curtains / light grids of the OY series can be set via the respective connections to the 8-pole plug of the receiver. Operating modes Connections pin 4 pin 5 pin 6 Automatic K1_K2 /restart...
8.1 Automatic operation If the safety light curtains / light grids are used in the automatic mode, monitored start is not possible. The safety light curtains / light grids automatically return to operation with clear protected area, the outputs (OSSDs) are activated. Verify if this is compatible with your machine.
8.3 Connection of external contactors K1 and K2 External contactors can be integrated in the automatic or manual operating mode. The contactors have to be connected in series between the supply voltage and pin 4 of the receiver (→ 8 Operating modes / table, fig. B ). With manual function a start button has additionally to be switched in series (→...

10 Operation 10.1 Switching state of the outputs The safety light curtains / light grids have two outputs (OSSDs) on the receiver; the status depends on the condition of the protected area. All short-circuits between the outputs or between an output and the current supply (24 V DC or 0 V DC) are detected by the 1 safety light curtains / light grids as a fault.
