G5562A, G5563A Bravo Platform Safety and Installation Guide
Description
The two lightposts that mount on each end of the Bravo rear:
•
Transmitter lightpost (left rear) projects the light beams across the Bravo
left side opening to the left mirrorpost, which reflects the light beams across
the front opening.
•
Receiver lightpost (right rear) detects the light beams reflected across the
Bravo right side opening.
The lightposts are connected to the safety interlock circuit through the Robot
Disable Hub. The lightposts detect any disruptions in the light beams. A column
of LEDs on the lower front of each lightpost indicate the light curtain status.
•
LED lights turn green when the light beams are aligned and no disruptions
are detected.
•
LED lights turn red if the receiver does not detect the light beams.
Improperly aligned mirrorposts or disruptions in the light beams cause the
LED lights to turn red.
The two mirrorposts that mount on the front left and front right corners of the
Bravo base.
•
The left front mirrorpost receives the light beams projected across the left
side opening from the transmitter lightpost, and then reflects the light
beams across the Bravo front opening.
•
The right front mirrorpost reflects the light beams across the right side
opening to the receiver lightpost.

access at the front between the bottom of the light shield and top of the Bravo
deck.
