GENERAL INFORMATION

The SG – PSB accessory is a guard, which comprises a drawn aluminium column and a
steel base. The base is made of two plates. Their inclination can be adjusted by means of
three dowels and their angular position can be adjusted through 3 rough adjustment slots
and 3 fine adjustments slots. Thanks to its single drawn section, available in a range of
different lengths, and to its multi-purpose grooves, this accessory can contain inside it all the
models of the SE, SG2, SG4, SE Body and SG Body series.

CHARACTERISTICS

 Protects the light curtain mounted inside it from accidental collisions;
 Single painted drawn aluminium section in different lengths, suitable for all heights of the

following series: SE, SG2, SG4 (150 – 1800 mm), SE Body and SG Body (2, 3 and 4­beam);

 Sturdy steel base made of 2 plates with angle reference marks, dowels for adjustment of

the vertical axis and slots for angular position adjustment;

 Spheric level to facilitate adjustment of the vertical axis;
 Double rear groove for installation of external muting sensor supports.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

Use of the SG-PSB accessory is recommended in work environments typical of the material
handling market, where forklift trucks, AGVs or other vehicles move freely within the plant
and may collide with the safety light curtains.

NOTES

If a body protection is being used, compliance with the EN 999 standard
'Safety of machinery - Positioning of safeguards with respect to the
approach speeds of parts of the human body' is required.

MECHANICAL MOUNTING

The SG-PSB guard can house a number of different products. For this reason, 5 different
bracket kits are available:

 ST-PS4-SG/SE (95ASE1750): for the installation of light curtains of the SG/SE/SG Body

Compact series, finger/hand protection, protected height 150÷1050mm and body
protection, protected height 500, 800, 900mm;

 ST-PS6-SG/SE (95ASE1760): for the installation of light curtains of the SG/SE/SG Body

Compact series, finger/hand protection, protected height 1200÷1800mm and body
protected height 1200mm;

 ST-PS4-SG Body (95ASE1730): for the installation of light curtains of the SG Body Big

series, body protection, protected height 500, 800, 900mm;

 ST-PS6-SG Body (95ASE1740): for the installation of light curtains of the SG Body Big

series, body protection, protected height 1200mm;

 ST-PS-DM (95ASE1770): for the installation of deviating mirrors SG-DM.

An extra plate may be installed on the accessory, to compensate for the effects of collisions,
vibrations and uneven floor surfaces:

 SG-P (95ASE2290): for the installation of a double plate with compensation springs.

The instructions for the installation of these accessory kits can be found below:

SG2, SG4-B, SE, SG BODY COMPACT SERIES MOUNTING

With the help of the ST-PS4-SG/SE kit, for product versions from 150 to 1050 mm or of the
ST-PS6-SG/SE kit, for product versions from 1200 to 1800 mm, build sub-assemblies as
shown in Fig. 2 then insert and fasten them to the grooves on the guard. Do not tighten
completely the M5 nut under the bracket (in the following example a SG2/4 base profile is
used).

Once the assembly is completed, remove the column cover by unscrewing the two M8x20
ISO 7380 screws (Fig. 3) and insert the assembly in the internal guides.

Once the product has been completely
inserted and its position along the column
adjusted, replace the cover (Fig. 4).

To adjust the position of the product along the
column, slightly unscrew the M5x8 UNI 5931
screws, which can be accessed from the
outside by using a special Allen key; if the
column is in a vertical position, make sure the
product does not slide accidentally towards the
bottom.

SG BODY MOUNTING

As described in the previous section (SG2, SG4-B, SE series mounting)
the ST-PS4-SG Body kit can be used to install the SG Body versions in the
same housing as the SG-PSB (Fig. 5).

SG-DM DEVIATING MIRRORS MOUNTING

Using the ST-PS-DM kit, mount the carter for the deviating mirror in use. Make
sure that the M8 T-nut is aligned with the corresponding central groove of the
protective stand and that the side edges of the mirror's carter are aligned with
the corresponding longitudinal guides in the protective stand (Fig. 6). Adjust
the height of the protective stand then tighten the M8 x 50 UNI5931 screws.

Tighten the M8 UNI 5588 nut under the carter eyelet to avoid accidental
unfastening.

Fig. 6

SG-P ACCESSORY MOUNTING

Fasten the plate to the floor with the screws and insert the 3 load-bearing springs on the
spacers on the plate. Place the column on the springs so that the slots in the bottom plate
are aligned with the springs. Insert the M10 UNI 5931 screws and washers, provided with the
SG-P accessory, in the slots and tighten them while gradually pressing down upon the 3
load-bearing springs. During this phase the vertical axis can also be adjusted. Use as a
reference the spheric level and choose the rough angular position using the slots and the
reference marks on the bottom plate. The optimal working height for the load-bearing springs
(which corresponds to the distance between the fixed plate and the bottom plate) is
approximately 42 mm. Once it rests on a level surface and the maximum angular position
has been established, it is possible to perform a fine adjustment of the angular position by
working on the dowels and the lock nuts of the moulded plate (Fig. 7).

ADJUSTMENT

ADJUSTING THE VERTICAL AXIS AND THE ANGULAR POSITION OF
THE PLATES

Fasten the plate to the floor in the desired rough angular position, according to the positions
established by the reference grooves (main angles: 0° - 45° - 90° for each quadrant); to do
this, use the 3 slots on the bottom plate and M10 screws. Do not tighten the M10 screws
completely. Unfasten the lock nuts on the dowels, then use the dowels to adjust the
inclination; during this operation, use the spheric level as a reference. Once the desired
inclination is obtained, tighten the screws to the floor. If necessary, proceed to a further
adjustment by rotating the moulded plate to the desired position, then tighten the lock nuts on
the dowels (Fig. 8).

INSTALLATION

LIGHT CURTAIN INSTALLATION

For light curtain alignment procedure, see the instruction manual of each specific model.

INSTALLATION OF SG-PSB WITH SG-DM

Fig. 9

1. Define the area to protect and the precise positions where the deviating mirrors and the
emitting and receiving units of the light curtain will be installed.

2. Install the SG-DM mirrors inside the suitable model of the SG-PSB, with the help of the
ST-PS-DM kit (see Fig. 6). The table "Corresponding Models" in the SG-DM manual
gives an overview of how to match products with deviating mirror models.

3. Once the mirrors have been installed inside the Protective Armor Stand, place the
Protective Stand in the established points. Fasten the supports (or SG-P) to the floor, in
the defined points, verifying that their axes are perpendicular to the floor; use the spheric
level provided to fine adjust their inclination if necessary.

4. Orient the mirrors to about 45° with respect to the optic path; the Protective stand
guarantees an adjustment interval around the vertical axis of about ±5° once secured to
the floor.

5. Insert the SG-LP laser pointer in the upper part of the emitting unit; orient the unit so that
the laser beam hits the surface of the first mirror in a central point of the vertical axis and
at the same height at which the pointer is installed.

6. Repeat the same procedure inserting the pointer in the lower part of the unit; if necessary
repeat these procedures until the desired result is achieved.

7. Orient the first mirror so that the laser beam hits the second mirror as described above.
For the angular adjustment, see the "Adjusting the inclination and the angular position of

the plates" section, if using the SG-PSB accessory with SG-DM mounted without the SG­P kit. If the SG-P accessory is being used, adjust as specified in the "SG-P Accessory
Mounting" section.

NOTE

The laser pointer, due to mechanical tolerance issues related to its use in
combination with the bar, provides an approximate measurement. It might
be necessary to carry out small adjustments to the alignment of the two
units following the regular ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE described in the
safety light curtains Instruction Manual. We recommend NOT to make any
further changes to the position of the mirrors, as the laser beam guarantees
their perfect alignment.
