Additional Protection - Honeywell SYA14 Series Manual

1.9

Additional Protection

In some applications, it may be necessary to provide additional protection to augment the protection provided by the safety
light curtain. Fixed barriers or additional safety light curtains shall be used to ensure an operator is forced to move through
the sensing field to enter the danger zone. The operator shall not be able to stand between the danger zone and the safety
light curtain without being detected. Additional protection shall be properly positioned and have the necessary mounting
dimensions to prevent an operator from reaching the danger zone from the top, bottom, rear or laterally. Fixed barriers shall
be installed permanently with the aid of a tool or welded (if possible). If barriers need to be automatically positioned, their
positioning must be checked. It must not be possible for operators to neutralize the positioning sensors associated with
these barriers.
Honeywell FF-SR Series safety control modules may be used as an interface between the protective safety equipment and
the machine control circuitry. These products offer redundancy, monitoring, and control reliability features that ensure the
highest level of industrial safety.

•
50FY multi-sensor door interrupt safety system
•
40FY door interrupt sensors
•
GSS safety limit switches
•
GK safety switches
