SECTION 2 Product features and indicators F3S-TGR-CL feature list The F3S-TGR-CL safety light curtain family is available in two versions. These versions are identified as the F3S-TGR-CL_A and F3S-TGR-CL_B versions. Configuration of the safety light curtains can be changed through selector switches located under an access cover.
SECTION 3 System Operation The F3S-TGR-CL system is a microprocessor-controlled, infrared, transmit- ted-beam safety light curtain. The system consists of a receiver assembly and a transmitter assembly. The receiver and transmitter assemblies are not phys- ically interconnected. It complies with a Type 2 or Type 4 according to EN/IEC 61496 and Category 2 or Category 4 according to EN954-1, depending on the model .
Section 3-2 Operating Modes Operating Modes System operating modes determine the start-up and operating behavior of a F3S-TGR-CL system. Operating modes definitions rely on the operating states presented above. Operating mode selection may be performed via the configuration switches on the F3S-TGR-CL transmitter and receiver. Note If internal errors are detected by the system during power-up or operation, it will enter the Error state with its safety outputs in the OFF state.
SECTION 4 Detection options Optical synchronization The synchronization between the F3S-TGR-CL system transmitter and receiver is optical synchronization. To establish synchronization the system needs to have the beam opposite side of the connector end cap clear. If this beam is blocked, the system will enter a MACHINE STOP state.
SECTION 5 Diagnostic and Test Features LED indicators All F3S-TGR-CL systems have visible LED on the receiver element to show the proper alignment of the system. These LEDs are used during alignment process and they are not part of the safety critical system. A failure in one of these indicators will not cause an alarm condition and the system will continue to operate.
Section 5-3 External test function External test function Some applications require that the machine guarding system be tested by the machine controller during a non-hazardous portion of the machine cycle to verify that the guarding system is functioning properly. F3S-TGR-CL system offers a test function on the transmitter or on the receiver element.
Section 5-4 Range selection Range selection The F3S-TGR-CL system offers operating range selection. Please refer to the detailed technical data in the list of models. This function is useful when there are many light curtains operating within a small space and the possibility of cross-talk is likely.
SECTION 6 Setting F3S-TGR-CL features !WARNING Make sure that foreign objects such as water, oil, or dust do not enter the inside of the F3S-TGR-CL system while the cover for the selector switches is open. Access to the selector switches The switches are located behind a cover on both the transmitter and receiver.

Section 6-4 Selecting Scan Codes RANGE: LONG RANGE RANGE: SHORT RANGE !WARNING Never use a long range light curtain for distances under the operating range. Failure to do so may cause serious injury. Selecting Scan Codes The F3S-TGR-CL receiver and transmitter offer scan code selection to mini- mize cross talk.

SECTION 7 Outputs Safety Outputs (OSSDs) Note This product is designed for use on a 24 VDC, negative ground (protective earth) electrical system only. Never connect the F3S-TGR-CL system to a positive ground (protective earth) system. With a positive ground (protective earth) wiring scheme, certain simultaneous shorts of both safety outputs may not be detected and the guarded machine may not stop, resulting in severe operator injury.

SECTION 8 Safe Mounting Distance !WARNING Never install an F3S-TGR-CL system without regard to the safety distance. If the F3S-TGR- CL system is mounted too close to the point of operation hazard, the machine may not stop in time to prevent an operator injury. An F3S-TGR-CL system must be mounted far enough from the machine dan- ger zone so the machine will stop before a hand or other body part reaches the hazardous area.
Section 8-1 Safety distance for safeguarding danger points Safety distance for safeguarding danger points Direction of approach !WARNING Additional countermeasures may be necessary to prevent access to the dan- gerous area from above, below, the sides or the rear of the machine.

SECTION 9 Installation !WARNING Install the sensor system so that it is not affected by reflective surfaces. Fail- ure to do so may hinder detection, resulting in serious injury. Reflective surface interference A reflective surface adjacent to the detection zone can deflect the optical beam and may cause an obstruction in the zone not to be detected.

Section 9-3 General mounting considerations 9-3-4 Mechanical mounting Physical alignment of the transmitter and receiver is easiest when the system is in the automatic start operating mode with Blanking inactive. The units should be in the same plane and at equal height. Transmitter and receiver unit are mounted parallel to each other and orthogo- nal in respect to the detection zone between transmitter and receiver.
Section 9-3 General mounting considerations 9-3-5 Installation of multiple systems When two or more F3S-TGR-CL systems with the same scan code are mounted in close proximity and in alignment with each other, precautions should be taken to avoid one system interfering with another. This can be cor- rected by mounting the transmitters and receivers back-to-back or stacked.
