Laser forked light barriers
Intended use
Laser fork light barriers are used as part of a higher-level overall system for detecting objects.
Safety instructions
Laser fork light barriers are not permitted for safety applications, especially where the safety of persons is dependent on
the device function.
The operator of the higher-level overall system, e.g. a machine system, is responsible for compliance with the national and
international safety and accident prevention regulations applicable to the specific application.
The application-specific safety and accident prevention regulations must be observed when planning machines and using
the laser forked light barriers.
Caution! The use of control elements or settings and the performance of procedures not specified here may result in the
emission of hazardous radiation.
The installation and electrical connection of the laser fork light barriers may only be carried out by qualified personnel in
accordance with the applicable regulations in a de-energized status and with the machine switched off. The machine must
be secured against being switched on again.
function
Laser fork light barriers work according to the principle of the throughbeam light barrier. They consist of a transmitter and
a receiver, each housed in a limb of the common housing. The beam direction from transmitter to receiver is marked with
arrows on the housing legs.
The light beam emitted by the transmitter is firmly aligned on the receiver. The receiver's output switches its status when
the light beam is interrupted. The output function is switchable between NO (dark-on mode) and NC (light-on mode). The
output status is indicated via a ring LED in the connector plug.
Assembly
Avoid extraneous light radiation on the receiver side! The beam direction from transmitter to receiver is marked with
arrows on the housing legs.
Attach the laser fork light barrier so that the object to be detected can pass freely through the fork opening. Depending
on the type, it is mounted using M4 screws (dimensional drawings and drawing files can be found on our homepage
www.ipf.de).
The device may be installed in any position, but make sure that it is installed in a vibration-reducing and vibration-free
manner. The device must be protected against mechanical loads, e.g. impacts or shocks.
Observe the device-specific information on connection and operation. Do not operate the device outside the specified
temperature limits.
Electrical connection
The electrical connection is made via a 3-pin M8 cable socket, e.g. VK200071. The device has a push-pull switching output
and can be operated with both PNP and NPN control inputs.
