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.
Page 10
As the required knowledge may not be completely included in this manual, we suggest the customer to contact Datasensing Technical Service for any necessary information relative to the functioning of the light curtains and the safety rules that regulate the correct installation.
MODEL DESCRIPTION MODEL DESCRIPTION SH4 safety light curtains are described by their model description which indicates the characteristics listed in the diagram below. Not all combinations are available. For a complete list of combinations see the Models tab on the Product page of the website. SH4 - xx - xxxx - x - x - x Detection Monitored...

Emitter (TX) • Quick Guide of safety light curtain • Periodical checklist and maintenance schedule • 4 angled fixing brackets and specific fasteners • 2 additional angled fixing brackets for models with heights equal or greater than 1200 mm. SH4 BASE-STANDARD...
PRECAUTIONS TO BE OBSERVED FOR THE CHOICE AND INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS TO BE OBSERVED FOR THE CHOICE AND INSTALLATION CAUTION: Make sure that the protection level assured by the light curtain device is compatible with the real danger level of the machine to be con- trolled, according to EN ISO 13849-1: 2015 or EN 62061:2005/A2: 2015.
Operating distance Figure 1: Detection capability The resolution value is obtained applying the following formula: R = I + d where: I = Interaxes between two adjacent optics d = Lens diameter SH4 BASE-STANDARD...
HOW TO CHOOSE THE DEVICE Height of the detection zone The controlled height is the height protected by the safety light curtain. In SH4-14/30 Protected Height is equal to ESPE total length: no dead zone is present. In SH4-2/3/4, first beam center is positioned at 130 mm from light curtain bottom, pro- tected height is defined as the distance between uppermost and lowermost beam centreline.
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). SH4 BASE-STANDARD...
HOW TO CHOOSE THE DEVICE If the safety light curtain must be mounted in a horizontal position (see figure below) the distance between the dangerous area and the most distant optical beam must be equal to the value calculated using the following formula: S = 1600 mm/s (t1 + t2) + 1200 - 0.4 H where: •...
The safety light curtain can be used in most bending operations thanks to its easy installation and compact dimensions. As well as offering excellent reliability, SH4 ensures increased plant productivity as it reduces the dead times necessary for machine accessing, adjustment and maintenance. SH4 BASE-STANDARD...
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS Example 3: Paper cutting machines These machines typically cut paper to a specific size for newspapers or special applica- tions. The operator must be protected against abrasion or cuts by cutter blades. Solution: SH4 30mm safety light curtain is especially suitable for this kind of applica- tion, which require the installation of the device directly on the machine.
• The RESET/RESTART button must be located outside the dangerous zone because the operator must check the dangerous zone during Reset/Restart operations. NOTE: Please carefully read the instructions for the correct functioning before powering the light curtain on. SH4 BASE-STANDARD...
GENERAL INFORMATION ON DEVICE POSITIONING GENERAL INFORMATION ON DEVICE POSITIONING The safety light curtain should be carefully positioned in order to provide the necessary protection. Access to the dangerous area must only be possible by passing through the protecting safety light beams. CAUTION: The figure below shows some examples of possible access to the machine from the top and the bottom sides.
Figure 10: Minimum distance from reflective surface The formula to get D is the following: (m) = 0.13 for operating distance < 3 m (m) = operating distance (m) x tan (2.5°) for operating distance ≥ 3 m SH4 BASE-STANDARD...
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 (Dop) 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.
Page 26
INSTALLATION The figure provides two examples: Figure 13: Recommended positioning for homologous devices CAUTION: If two light curtains have to be mounted near each other as reported in the first example of the figure above. SH4 BASE-STANDARD...
Even very small displacements of the mirror is enough to lose alignment. • The use of Datasensing laser pointer accessory is recommended under these con- ditions. • The minimum safety distance (S) must be respected for each single section of the beams.
Normal Operation for at least 10-15 minutes, and placing the specific test piece in the protected area, in the Safe State for the same period. • Verify the correspondence of all the accessory functions, activating them in the different operating conditions. SH4 BASE-STANDARD...

The next step is the fine alignment, as shown in the chapter “Alignment Procedure”. Outfit angled fixing brackets kit for units mounting must be used as described below (see Figure 17). Adjustable supports for adjusting unit inclinations around the axes are available on request (see appendix “Accessories”). SH4 BASE-STANDARD...

To mount the angled fixing brackets kit, place the threaded pins metallic insert into the dedicated side seat of the terminator cap side light curtain closing cap (1); slide the insert towards the metallic drawn profile groove (2). Fix the bracket against the profile by tightening the M5 hexagonal nuts (3-4). It's possi- ble to slide the bracket group along their dedicated rail and fix it once again just working on the above-mentioned nuts.

CHAPTER 5 ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE ALIGNMENT A good alignment between the emitting and the receiving units is necessary to obtain the correct behavior of the light curtain. It avoids a not steady light curtain status (OSSDs flicker on and off and vice versa) due to dust or vibration. The alignment is perfect if the optic axes of the first and the last emitting unit's beams coincide with the optic axes of the corresponding elements of the receiving unit.
In Alignment Mode ESPE is always in Safe State and the OSSDs are kept OFF. The state of alignment is estimated from RX unit by reading the received signal level of each beam. First and last beam received level gets some more weight. SH4 BASE-STANDARD...

RESTART MODE RESTART MODE An opaque object detected by the beams causes the switching of the OSSD outputs (i.e. the opening of the safety contacts - SAFE condition). The restart of the ESPE (i.e. the closing of the OSSD safety contacts - NORMAL OPERA- TION) can be carried-out in two different ways: Automatic Restart (All models) When an opaque object is detected, the ESPE enters in OFF state.
The configuration of Restart mode is done by connecting the MAN_AUTO signal (pin 8, red) to one of the OSSD as described below: OSSD1, pin 5 (grey) to setting the automatic restart function • OSSD2, pin 6 (pink) to setting the manual restart function • SH4 BASE-STANDARD...
RESET (STANDARD MODELS ONLY) RESET (Standard models only) When ESPE locks into failure state user can go back to Normal Operation with a power cycle or the activation of RESET function (non critical failures only). To activate RESET function the button connected to RESET input (pin 1) has to be kept pressed for at least 5 seconds in non critical failure state.
(two different times for the mechanical contact driven by a spring) Configuration The configuration of EDM is done by connecting the EDM SEL signal (pin 3, green) as described below: • EDM SELECTION connected to 0V (floating): EDM ENABLED • EMD SELECTION connected to 24V: EDM DISABLED SH4 BASE-STANDARD...
TEST TEST The TEST function can be activated by keeping TEST signal HIGH (pin 2 on TX unit) for at least 0.5 seconds as shown in the following timing diagram. The TEST disables the emission stage, so the RX side sees interrupted beams (all) and the OSSD goes low within response time.
If a falling edge is not detected within 5s from rising edge emitter unit locks into Range setting failure Lockout without any change on range setting. WARNING: When using SH4 Body models with operating distance lower than 5m Short Range must be selected, otherwise safe operation is not guaranteed. SH4 BASE-STANDARD...
