This document is intended for authorized personnel. Reading prerequisites It is assumed that the reader of this document has knowledge of the following: • Basic knowledge of ABB safety products • Knowledge of machine safety Special notes Pay attention to special notes in the document:...
The safety precautions must be followed during installation, operation, maintenance and troubleshooting. Warning! For a correct and safe use of the Orion1 Extended light grids, the following points must be observed: • The stopping system of the machine must be electrically controlled.
The Orion1 Extended light grids are Type 4 intrinsic safety systems used as accident- prevention protection devices and are manufactured in accordance with applicable standards.
Figure 1: Resolution The resolution depends only on the geometrical characteristics of the lenses, diameter and distance between centers, and is independent of any environmental and operating conditions of the AOPD. For the resolution of each model see chapter “Model overview”. Protected height Figure 2: Protected height 2TLC172290M0201 Rev.D...
The protected height by the Orion1 Extended is the whole height of the AOPD. Referring to the figure above the protected height is reported in the table below. Model Protected height Hp (mm) Orion1-4-xx-030-E Orion1-4-xx-045-E Orion1-4-xx-060-E Orion1-4-xx-075-E Orion1-4-xx-090-E Orion1-4-xx-105-E 1050...

Figure 6: Correct device positioning Under normal operating conditions, it must be impossible to start the machine while operators are inside the hazard zone. When the installation of the AOPD close to the hazard zone is not possible, a second AOPD must be mounted in a horizontal position to prevent any lateral access (see Figure 8).
4.2.1 Minimum installation distance See chapter 3.3 “Minimum installation distance”. 4.2.2 Minimum distance to reflecting surfaces Reflecting surfaces placed near the light beams of the AOPD (over, under or laterally) can cause passive reflections. These reflections can compromise the recognition of an object inside the detection zone.
The diagram below shows the minimum distance to the reflecting surface (D ), based on the operating distance for a Type 4 AOPD: Figure 10: Distance to a reflective surface as a function of the operating distance The formula to get for a Type 4 AOPD: (m) = 0.15 for operating distance <...

Some examples of correct and incorrect installations when it comes to interferences. Figure 13: Installation of several devices close to each other If two AOPDs have to be mounted close to each other as in the first example of Figure 13, the coding function can be a solution (refer to chapter “Coding function”).
4.2.5 Transmitter and receiver orientation The two units shall be assembled parallel to each other, with the beams arranged at right angles to the transmitting and receiving surfaces, and with the connectors pointing towards the same direction. The configurations shown in Figure 14 must be avoided. Figure 14: Incorrect orientation 4.2.6 Use of deviating mirrors...
• The minimum installation distance (S) must be respected for each single section of the beams. • The effective operating range decreases by about 15% by using only one deviating mirror, the percentage further decreases by using 2 or more mirrors (for more details, refer to the technical specifications of the mirrors used).
Page 20
• The AOPD is correctly aligned: press slightly the product side in both directions and check that the red LED (named OSSD on the receiver) does not turn on. • The OSSD outputs switch off (red LED “OSSD” on the receiver turns on and the controlled machine stops) when the Test function (on the transmitter) is activated.
“Alignment procedure”. Mounting with angles fixing brackets Angled fixing brackets are supplied with all Orion1 Extended models. To mount the AOPD, insert the supplied threaded pins into the dedicated location in the end cap (see Figure below). Then let the pins slide towards the metallic groove. Fix the bracket against the profile by tightening the M5 hexagonal nuts.

Caution! All wire colors according to ABB standard cables. Important notes on connections For the correct functioning of the Orion1 Extended light curtains, the following precautions regarding the electrical connections shall be respected: • Use a suitably insulated low-voltage supply system type SELV or PELV.
The device is already equipped with internal overvoltage and overcurrent suppression devices. The use of other external components is not recommended. Connection examples Figure 19: Orion1 Extended connection See connection examples at ABB web: Optical safety devices - Safety Products | ABB https://new.abb.com/low-voltage/products/safety-products/optical-safety-devices Orion connection diagrams (abb.com) https://search.abb.com/library/Download.aspx?DocumentID=2TLC010029T0001&Language Code=en&DocumentPartId=&Action=Launch Note! Do not use varistors, RC circuits or LEDs in parallel with the relay inputs or in series with the OSSD outputs.

Alignment procedure The alignment between the transmitter and the receiver is necessary to obtain the correct functioning of the AOPD. A good alignment prevents outputs instability caused by dust or vibrations. The alignment is perfect if the optical axes of the first and the last beams of the transmitter coincide with the optical axes of the corresponding elements of the receiver.
Once the optimal alignment has been reached, the device is returned to normal function by turning the device off and on. Note! The OSSD outputs are off in alignment mode. Correct alignment procedure The alignment is performed after having completed the mechanical installation and the electrical connections as described above.
Page 30
Once the AOPD has been aligned and correctly fastened, the signal on the display is useful both to check the alignment and to show a change in the environmental conditions (presence of dust, light disturbance and so on). 2TLC172290M0201 Rev.D...
Function setting The configuration of the functions and the parameters of the AOPD can be performed with the help of push-buttons and LED display (available on both receivers and transmitters). A display consisting of 8 LEDs and 3 protected push-buttons is used for the basic configura- tion.
Function list Orion1 Extended has two main operating modes: Blanking and Muting. LEDs 5 to 8 have different functions in Muting mode and Blanking mode. Note! The default configuration is indicated in bold characters. Note! The last 3 LEDs don’t change status when changing from Muting mode to Blanking mode (and vice versa).

Functions Reset function The interruption of a beam by an opaque object causes the OSSD outputs to switch off. The AOPD can be reset to the OSSD ON state in two different ways. Automatic reset is the default setting. The Reset function can be configured, see chapter 9.1.3.
9.1.2 Manual Reset When activated, the AOPD returns to OSSD ON once the RESET button has been pushed, pro- vided that the object has been removed from the detection zone. The RESET push-button must be kept pressed for at least 500 ms but less than 5 s, otherwise the AOPD goes in Error mode.
9.1.3 Configuration of the Reset function Configuration of the Reset function LEVEL Auto LED 5 ON Red Manual LED 5 OFF Test function The Test function is activated by pressing an external NO contact (TEST push-button, pin 2 of the M12-5 pole connector on the transmitter) for at least 0.5 s. The Test stops the emission, the receiver sees all beams being interrupted and the OSSD outputs switch off within the response time.
Figure 32: Time chart of the Acknowledge function The AOPD has a function for monitoring the actuation of external devices (EDM). This function can be activated or deactivated, see chapter 9.4.3. 9.4.1 EDM activated When the EDM function is activated, connect the EDM input (pin 6 of M12-12 pole connector on the receiver) to +24 VDC through the normally closed contacts of the devices to be monitored.
Figure 34: Time chart of the EDM function and T are the times between the change of state of the OSSD outputs and the change of state of the NC contact of the external device. ≤ 350 ms: the external NC contacts must open within this time after the OSSD outputs have switched on.
9.4.3 Configuration of the EDM function This function allows the user to activate or deactivate the monitoring of the external switching devices. Configuration of the EDM function LEVEL Activated LED 4 ON Yellow Deactivated LED 4 OFF To increase the level of safety, the AOPD checks that the EDM input is floating at start-up when the EDM function is deactivated.
9.5.1 Configuration of the Range selection function Configuration of the Reduction of range function on the transmitter CODE Long LED 3 ON Yellow Short LED 3 OFF Muting The Muting function allows automatic bypassing of the safety function on the whole or part of the protected height in order to carry out specific operations without stopping the machine.
The Muting function is enabled by default (at delivery). It can be dynamically enabled and dis- abled during the operation of Orion1 Extended. When disabled, no valid muting request on the MUTING inputs is accepted and the safety function is never bypassed.
The output of the muting sensors (A1, B1, A2 and B2) should be high when the object is detected. The muting sensors can be optical sensors, mechanical sensors, proximity sensors, etc. 9.6.4 Muting direction The AOPD can be used with: •...

9.6.5 Muting timeout The muting timeout defines the maximum duration of the Muting function, after the timeout the muting ends. This time can be set. The user can select a timeout of 10 minutes or infinite; “infinite” means that the muting could never end: the Muting function is activated as long as the muting conditions persist.
Override The override function is used to bypass the AOPD completely and switch on the OSSD outputs when it is necessary to start the machine despite one or more beams of the AOPD being interrupted. The purpose is usually to clear the detection zone and move a “box” that has stopped there because of a cycle anomaly.
Page 49
9.7.1.1 Override – Level trigger The Override function is activated when both contacts are closed AND at least one muting sensor is activated. OVERRIDE STATUS is an output signal that is high when the OVERRIDE inputs are active and the override conditions true.

Figure 47: Time chart of the Override function 9.7.3 Override reset The ACKNOWLEDGE/RESET/ALIGN input (pin 3 of the M12-12 pole connector on the receiver) should be connected to +24 VDC through a normally open contact. Figure 48: Connection of the override reset When override ends, the OSSD outputs switch off and a reset is required to switch them on.
Figure 49: Time chart of the override reset Blanking The Blanking function allows the OSSD outputs of the AOPD to remain on and the machine to work, even if a pre-determined number of beams within the detection zone is being inter- rupted.
9.8.1 Activation of the Blanking function Muting/Blanking selection LEVEL Muting LED 3 ON YELLOW Blanking LED 3 OFF 9.8.2 Fixed blanking Fixed blanking allows a fixed portion of the detection zone (i.e. a fixed set of beams) to be occupied, while all the other beams operate normally. In Fixed blanking, the beams of the blanked zone have to remain interrupted, otherwise the OSSD outputs of the AOPD switch off.
9.8.2.2 Fixed blanking – Tolerance When the Tolerance function is active, the object can move 1 beam above or below the blanking zone. If the object moves more than 1 beam out of the blanking zone, the AOPD enters Error mode (Blanking error). The Tolerance function is useful when there is a risk that the object slightly moves from its initial position.
9.8.3.1 Reduced resolution Reduced resolution is a particular kind of floating blanking where more than one object can interrupt each a specific number of beams with the AOPD remaining in OSSD ON state. 4 adjacent beams can be interrupted by the object while the AOPD remains in OSSD ON state. The object may interrupt 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4 beams while the AOPD remains in OSSD ON state.
A safe auto-recognition procedure is implemented at start up. It automatically detects the topology of the cascade connection and correctly addressed units. To allow auto-recognition, the supplied termination caps must be mounted on the tail connector of the last cascade unit, on both transmitter and receiver units.

Device maintenance Orion1 Extended light curtains do not require special maintenance operations. To avoid the reduction of the operating distance, optic protective front surfaces must be cleaned at regular intervals. Use soft cotton cloths damped in water. Do not apply too much pressure on the surface to avoid making it opaque.
