1.2. SAFETINEX SAFETY SYSTEMS The Safetinex product lines produced by Contrinex offer high quality safeguarding solutions for both personnel and machinery. Our specialists in sensor technology have developed high-performance electro-sensitive protective equipment.
The light curtain or barrier detection capability (or resolution) depends on the distance between the centerlines of each beam emitted by the sender. The choice for a specific resolution depends on the part of the body which needs protection (finger, hand, whole body). Contrinex Industrial Electronics...
Synchronization between the sender and receiver devices is performed optically, i.e. wired connection between the two units is not necessary. Resolution (R) Receiver Sender Protective field Operating distance (d) FIG. 2: OPERATING PRINCIPLE Contrinex Industrial Electronics...
(EN) that take precedence over national laws. Thus, EU countries must remove or modify any national standard that conflicts with the European Standard. CENELEC and CEN cooperate closely with ISO and IEC, the main bodies for international standards. Contrinex Industrial Electronics...
The Work Equipment Directive sets out the rules applying to users of machines on production sites, while the Machinery Directive sets out those applying to machine constructors and safety equipment manu- facturers. However, most subordinate standards apply to both parties, as shown in the following chart. Contrinex Industrial Electronics...
The method used to make different zones safe depends on the type of hazard. The Machinery Directive requires that, before placing machinery on the market and/or putting it into service, the manufacturer ensures that Contrinex Industrial Electronics...
North American standards are primarily directed towards users. Unlike in the EU, third party certification is not mandatory in the US or Canada. In terms of liability, it is the employer’s responsibility to prove that he has Contrinex Industrial Electronics...
American National Standards Institute (ANSI), the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA), Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). As an example, ANSI B11.1 sets safety requirements for mechani- cal power presses, ANSI B11.15 specifies standards for pipe bending Contrinex Industrial Electronics...
CSA Standards. Manufacturers of these products need to obtain C-UL or CSA certification, or the seller needs to apply for cer- tification directly to the provincial authorities. For more details on the CSA Standards, please visit the CSA website. Contrinex Industrial Electronics...
4.2. RISK ASSESSMENT PROCESS In essence, conducting a risk assessment involves identifying hazards, evaluating the potential severity of harm and identifying measures and solutions for eliminating or reducing such risks. Contrinex Industrial Electronics...

In order to reduce the determined risk (PLr) to an appropriate level, a safety system with performance level PL ≥ PLr needs to be properly implemented. A corresponding average probability of dangerous failure per hour (PFH ) can be associated with each performance level: Contrinex Industrial Electronics...
When positioning access control barriers, it must not be possible to pass over the highest beam, below the lowest beam or between two beams. If this cannot be guaranteed, then additional protec- tive devices must be used. Contrinex Industrial Electronics...

Similarly, a cross-circuit between the two outputs is also detected and both OSSDs are deactivated within the specified response time. The OSSD outputs are switched off and remain in that state as long as the fault remains. Contrinex Industrial Electronics...
YCA access control devices have beam gaps from 300 mm to 500 mm. For details and order information, please consult section “10. Available models” (page 47) in this instruction manual or see the General Catalog, or go to www.contrinex.com. Contrinex Industrial Electronics...
The transmission channel is selected through the polarity of the supply voltage on the sender and receiver unit. See tables 7 and 8 on page 37 for the channel-related pin connections. Section “8.10.5. Installation of multiple systems” below gives details. Contrinex Industrial Electronics...
Since these regulations differ slightly, depending on the country where the safety system is operated, please refer to the relevant preceding chapters and the applicable standards for details. Contrinex Industrial Electronics...
If this cannot be guar- anteed, then additional protective devices must be used. SAFE FIG. 9: POSITIONING THE LIGHT CURTAIN Contrinex Industrial Electronics...
The longer the operating distance, the further away reflec- tive surfaces must be kept from the protective field.

Installing several pairs of AOPDs close to each other may lead to optical crosstalk and result in failing to detect objects within the protective field (Fig. 13). Receiver Receiver Sender Sender FIG. 13: INTERFERENCE BETWEEN TWO PAIRS OF PROTECTIVE DEVICES Contrinex Industrial Electronics...
The distance between the two optical faces must be within the specified operating range of the model. The appropriate mounting devices must be used to fix the units. Depend- ing on the application and the available space, two different mounting options are available: Contrinex Industrial Electronics...

To ensure firm alignment, the fixing points must be set in relation to the length of the device and as close as possible to the unit’s ends. FIG. 18: T-NUT (REF. YXW-0003-000) FIG. 19: USING T-NUT WITH M5 SCREW Contrinex Industrial Electronics...
Additional measures may be necessary to ensure that the AOPD does not fail to danger when other forms of light radiation are present in a particular application (for example, use of cableless control devices on cranes, radiation from weld spatter or effects from stroboscopic light).
