2 Safety

For mounting, operating and testing, this document as well as all applicable national and international stan­dards, regulations, rules and directives must be observed. Relevant and supplied documents must be ob­served, printed out and handed to affected persons.
Ä Before working with the safety sensor, completely read and observe the documents applicable to your
task.
In particular, the following national and international legal regulations apply for the commissioning, techni­cal inspections and work with safety sensors:
• Machinery directive 2006/42/EC
• Low voltage directive 2014/35/EU
• EMC directive 2014/30/EU
• Use of work equipment directive 89/655/EEC supplemented by directive 95/63EC
• OSHA 1910 Subpart O
• Safety regulations
• Accident-prevention regulations and safety rules
• Ordinance on Industrial Safety and Health and employment protection act
• Product Safety Law (ProdSG and 9. ProdSV)
Safety
NOTICE
For safety-related information you may also contact local authorities (e.g., industrial inspec­torate, employer's liability insurance association, labor inspectorate, occupational safety and health authority).

2.1 Intended use and foreseeable misuse

WARNING
A running machine may result in serious injury!
Ä Make certain that the safety sensor is correctly connected and that the protective function of
the protective device is ensured.
Ä Make certain that, during all conversions, maintenance work and inspections, the system is
securely shut down and protected against being restarted.
2.1.1

Intended use

• The safety sensor may only be used after it has been selected in accordance with the respectively ap­plicable instructions and relevant standards, rules and regulations regarding labor protection and safety at work, and after it has been installed on the machine, connected, commissioned, and checked by a competent person (see chapter 2.2 "Necessary competencies"). The devices are designed for indoor use only.
• When selecting the safety sensor it must be ensured that its safety-related capability meets or exceeds the required performance level PLr ascertained in the risk assessment (see chapter 14.1 "General specifications").
• The safety sensor protects persons or body parts at points of operation, danger zones or access points of machines and systems.
• With the “access guarding” function, the safety sensor detects persons only when they enter the danger zone but cannot tell whether there are any persons inside the danger zone. For this reason, a start/ restart interlock or a suitable stepping behind protection in the safety chain is essential in this case.
• The construction of the safety sensor must not be altered. When manipulating the safety sensor, the protective function is no longer guaranteed. Manipulating the safety sensor also voids all warranty claims against the manufacturer of the safety sensor.
• The safety sensor must be inspected regularly by a competent person to ensure proper integration and mounting (see chapter 2.2 "Necessary competencies").
• The safety sensor must be exchanged after a maximum of 20 years. Repairs or the exchange of wear parts do not extend the mission time.

3 Device description

The safety sensor consists of a transmitter and a receiver (see chapter 3.2 "Device overview of the MLC family"). It is protected against overvoltage and overcurrent acc. to IEC60204-1 (protection class3). The safety sensor is not dangerously influenced by ambient light (e.g., welding sparks, warning lights).

3.1 Overview of Smart Process Gating (SPG)

SPG is a timing-controlled control process for access guarding with bridging function. External muting sen­sors are not necessary here. Instead, two independent control signals are needed for activation of the bridging function:
• A CS switching signal (“controller signal”) from a control (see chapter 4.6 "Smart Process Gating").
• A protective field interruption(PFI) which was created by the transport material; this interruption must be detected by the receiver within 4s after the CS signal is applied.
The CS switching signal can be supplied by a standard PLC or by a safety PLC, whereby various safety levels are reached (see following table).

Protective field properties
The beam distance and the number of beams are dependent on the resolution and protective field height.
NOTICE
Depending on the resolution, the effective protective field height can be larger than the optically active area of the safety sensor housed in yellow (see chapter 3.2 "Device overview of the MLC family" and see chapter 14.1 "General specifications").
Device synchronization
The synchronization of receiver and transmitter for creating a functioning protective field is done optically, i.e. without cables, via two specially coded synchronization beams. A cycle (i.e. a pass from the first to the last beam) is called a scan. The length of a scan determines the length of the response time and affects the calculation of the safety distance (see chapter 6.1.1 "Calculation of safety distanceS").
NOTICE
For the correct synchronization and function of the safety sensor, at least one of the two syn­chronization beams must be free during synchronization and operation.
During the SPG process, an interruption of up to 60s is possible (see chapter 4.6 "Smart Process Gating").

4.1 Start/restart interlock RES

After accessing the protective field, the start/restart interlock ensures that the safety sensor remains in the OFF state after the protective field has been cleared. It prevents automatic release of the safety circuits and automatic start-up of the system, e.g. if the protective field is again clear or if an interruption in the volt­age supply is restored.
NOTICE
For access guarding, the start/restart interlock function is mandatory. The protective device may only be operated without start/restart interlock in certain exceptional cases and under certain conditions acc. to ENISO12100.
Using start/restart interlock
Ä Select the desired operating mode (see chapter 7 "Electrical connection").
The start/restart interlock function is automatically activated.
Switching the safety sensor back on after shutting down (OFF state):
Ä Press the reset button (press/release between 0.15s and 4s)
NOTICE
The reset button must be located outside the danger zone in a safe place and give the operator a good view of the danger zone so that he/she can check whether anyone is located in it (ac­cording to EN62046) before pressing the reset button.
DANGER
Risk of death if start/restart is operated unintentionally!
Ä Ensure that the reset button for unlocking the start/restart interlock cannot be reached from
the danger zone.
Ä Before unlocking the start/restart interlock, make certain that no people are in the danger
zone.
Leuze electronic MLC 530 SPG 16
Page 17
After the reset button has been actuated, the safety sensor switches to the ON state.

4.2 Transmission channel changeover

Transmission channels are used to prevent mutual interference of safety sensors which are located close to each other.
NOTICE
To guarantee reliable operation, the infrared beams are modulated so they can be discerned from the ambient light. Welding sparks or warning lights, e.g. from passing high-lift trucks, thereby do not influence the protective field.
With the factory setting, the safety sensor works in all operating modes with transmission channelC1.
The transmission channel of the transmitter can be switched by changing the supply voltage polarity (see chapter 7.1.1 "MLC500 transmitter").
Select transmission channelC2 on the receiver:
Ä Connect pins 1, 3, 4 and 8 of the receiver and switch it on. ð The receiver is switched to transmission channelC2. Switch the receiver off and again disconnect the
connection between pins 1, 3, 4 and 8 before switching the receiver back on.
Re-select transmission channelC1 on the receiver:
Ä Repeat the procedure described above to again select transmission channel C1 on the receiver. ð The receiver is switched to transmission channelC1 again.
Functions
NOTICE
Faulty function due to incorrect transmission channel!
Select the same transmission channel on the transmitter and corresponding receiver.

4.3 Operating range selection

In addition to selecting the suitable transmission channels (see chapter 4.2 "Transmission channel changeover"), the operating range selection also serves to prevent mutual interference of adjacent safety sensors. At reduced operating range the light power of the transmitter reduces, so that around half of the nominal range is reached.
Ä Wire pin4 (see chapter 7.1 "Pin assignment transmitter and receiver"). ð The wiring of pin4 determines the transmitting power and thereby the range (without wiring pin4 the
reduced operating range is selected).
WARNING
Impairment of the protective function due to incorrect transmitting power!
The light power emitted from the transmitter is reduced through a single channel and without safety-relevant monitoring.
Ä Do not use this configuration option for safety purposes. Ä Note that the distance to reflective surfaces must always be selected so that no reflection
bypass can occur even at maximum transmitting power (see chapter 6.1.4 "Minimum dis­tance to reflective surfaces").

4.4 Signal output

The signal output outputs 24 V on a valid gating sequence. Flashing occurs in the event of a faulty gating sequence, e.g., if no protective field violation occurs after 4 s.

If the “blanking” function is activated, suitable objects must be located within their respective protective field areas. Otherwise the OSSDs switch to the OFF state even if the protective field is free or they remain in the OFF state.
WARNING
Faulty application of blanking functions may result in serious injury!
Ä Only use the function when the objects introduced do not have glossy or reflective top and/
or bottom surfaces. Only matte surfaces are permitted.
Ä Make sure that objects take up the entire width of the protective field so that the protective
field cannot be accessed from the sides of the objects; otherwise the safety distance with re­duced resolution must be calculated corresponding to the gap in the protective field.
Ä If necessary, properly mount mechanical locks which are fixed firmly to the object (see chap-
ter 14.1 "General specifications") to prevent the “formation of shadows”, for example from tall objects or crooked installation.
Ä Monitor the position of the objects and the locks, if applicable, at all times by integrating
them electrically into the safety circuit.
Ä Blankings in the protective field and changes to the protective field resolution should only be
performed by qualified and instructed persons (see chapter 2.2 "Necessary competencies").
Ä Only give corresponding tools such as a key for the teach key switch to qualified personnel.
4.5.1

Fixed blanking

With the “Fixed blanking” function, the safety sensor offers the chance of stationarily blanking up to 10pro­tective field areas consisting of any number of adjacent beams.
Prerequisites:
• At least one of the two synchronization beams may not be blanked.
• Taught blanking areas must have a minimum distance to each other which corresponds to the resolu­tion of the safety sensor.
• No “shadows” may form in the protective field (see figures below).
Fixed blanking with beam tolerance
Fixed blanking with beam tolerance is used for access guarding, for example to blank a roller conveyor so that it is resistant to interference.
In doing so, the receiver automatically applies a tolerance area of one beam on both sides of a taught fixed object, thereby expanding the movement area of the object by +1beam. On the borders of the blanked ob­ject, the resolution is reduced correspondingly by 2beams.
Activation of the function
Select operating mode1, 5 or6 (see chapter 7 "Electrical connection").

Teaching of fixed blanking areas
Teaching protective field areas with blanking is performed via a key switch in the following steps:
Ä Mount all objects to be blanked in the protective field in the locations at which they are to be blanked. Ä Press the teach key switch and release it within 0.15s and 4s. ð The teach event begins. LED3 flashes blue. Ä Press the teach key switch again and release it within 0.15s and 4s. ð The teach event ends. LED3 illuminates blue if at least one beam area is blanked. All objects have
been correctly taught.
NOTICE
After teaching a free protective field (teaching finished), thus determining a protective field with­out areas with fixed blanking, the blue LED switches off.
During teaching, the object size detected can vary by no more than one beam. Otherwise teaching is ended with the U71 user message (see chapter 11.1 "What to do in case of failure?").

SPG is a timing-controlled control process for access guarding with bridging function. It is used only for ma­terial transport out of or into danger zones.
External muting sensors are replaced by two independent control signals to activate the bridging function:
• A CS switching signal (“controller signal”) from a control.
• A PFI interruption signal from the protective field which was created by the transport material; this sig­nal must be detected by the receiver within 4s after the CS switching signal is applied.

SPG prerequisites

SPG is only suitable if the following are known to a control:
• When will an object penetrate the protective field?
• When will the object again leave the protective field?
• Does this information come from a source that cannot easily be tampered with?
This information is frequently available from a processing cell in exit applications: the control knows when the processing time ends and when the drive of the transport system must be switched on. The protective field of the access guarding can be interrupted shortly afterwards.
Prerequisites for PLC signal:
• The CS switching signal from a control must not arise directly from the actions of a person.
• It may not be a signal from a sensor, pushbutton or similar which directly and unchanged generates the CS switching signal. Suitable signals are derived from extended switching signals or running orders, for example.
• The protective field must be interrupted within 4s after activation of the CS switching signal. Otherwise, the receiver switches to the protective mode, i.e., the OSSDs are switched off if the protective field is interrupted (U53).
• The CS switching signal may not be generated until the transport material is less than 200mm from the protective field in order to prevent the intrusion of persons into the danger zone during the activation phase.
• The CS switching signal must be deactivated within 20s after the protective field is cleared (0V). Oth­erwise, the receiver switches to the interlock state (E75).
Furthermore, the following prerequisites apply for the application:
• The safety sensor must remain in sync in order to receive a valid protective field signal. For this reason, the two synchronization beams may be interrupted for no more than 60s during the SPG process.
• The transport material may only move in accordance with the specified maximum speed (operating mode1 / operating mode6 v
= 0.2m/s; operating mode 5v
max
= 0.6m/s) so that after exiting the pro-
max
tective field no gap larger than 200mm is formed in order to prevent the intrusion of persons during the deactivation phase (if necessary, a hard guard is to be extended accordingly). If necessary, it is also possible to deviate from these values according to a risk analysis or separate system standard. When designing the system, compliance with the limit of 200mm is particularly important. This limit must also be adhered to when starting up the system or in case of changed conveyor speeds.
NOTICE
Transmitter and receiver of the protective device must be mounted in such a way that they can­not be pushed or damaged by the transported goods.

Examples of signal generation for SPG mode

Ideal conditions for SPG operation often present themselves in the area of conveyor lines, such as with cross conveyors. In this situation, the exact order and precise position of the transported goods is usually known. Using this knowledge, the CS switching signal and the prerequisites can be easily generated in the PLC.
In the example provided, the CS switching signal is automatically generated from the process. In the area of order picking stations, it must be ensured that the CS switching signal is never derived from a keypress or used directly. In this case, generating the CS switching signal would depend on the actions of a person, which could facilitate deliberate misuse.
4.6.3
Operating mode1 (qualified stop)
This operating mode is intended primarily for speeds<0.2m/s, such as they occur in, e.g., the automotive sector. For this purpose, t2 is set to 2s. Furthermore, the qualified stop function can also be used to per­form a normal stop without interruption of the protective field even after the CS switching signal was acti­vated, see figure.

Operating mode 6 (partial gating)

Similar to operating mode 1, this operating mode is mainly intended for speeds <0.2m/s. For this purpose, t2 is set to 2s. In addition to the functionality of operating mode1, it also includes partial gating. The top four beams are excluded from gating (see figure).
This means unauthorized riding along on the transport material can be recognized, and so-called pendulum flaps can be monitored.
With partial gating, the upper four beams are not bridged, even during gating. Interruptions always cause the OSSDs to switch off.
NOTICE
To ensure the qualified stop function, a safe PLC is necessary in operating mode6. The TH control signal must not be generated simply by inverting the CS switching signal.
NOTICE
The upper four axes must be free during operation in operating mode6. Interruptions cause the OSSDs to switch off.
NOTICE
If operating mode 6 is to be used to monitor the pendulum flaps, the following additional safety information must be observed:
Ä The pendulum flap / swing door must feature a solid design and require tools for disman-
tling.
Ä The safety door must be designed in accordance with ISO14120 and ISO13857. Side ac-
cess without triggering the pendulum flap must not be possible.
Ä The distances from transmitter to receiver must be designed so as to prevent a passageway
next to the transport material.
Ä The transport material may not actuate the pendulum flap (e.g., excessive load). Ä The transmitter, receiver, pendulum flap/door must be protected against damage, e.g., to
prevent warping or slipping.
Ä The pendulum flap must not be made of transparent material; torsion must safely interrupt
the corresponding protective field area.

NOTICE
This can be used to minimize the gap that forms after ending the SPG.
4.6.7
If the resulting gap is bigger than 200mm and no other measures are possible (e.g., enclosing with a fence or similar), the SPG interrupt by control must be used to shorten the gap.

SPG timeout extension

The standard SPG timeout time can be extended from 10min to up to 100h. In order to prevent easy ma­nipulation, the bridging cycle is time-limited. If this time is exceeded (timeout), SPG ends and leads to the shutdown of the OSSDs, even if an object is located in the protective field (E79).
The SPG timeout of 10min can optionally be extended by another control signal (THtimer halt signal) from the PLC to up to 100h.
If a TH timer halt signal is used, it must swap with the CS switching signal within 0.5s after activation of SPG, i.e., CS switches from 0V to +24V and TH from +24V to 0V. In the event of a faulty control, the re­ceiver switches to the interlock state (E69).
NOTICE
If this signal is not used, the timer halt input must be wired to 0V.

If there is then no protective field violation, the RES signal can be used to start a new gating sequence. This restart must occur within no more than one hour, otherwise the device switches to an interlock state.
It may be necessary to reapply the CS switching signal before initiating a new gating sequence.
4.6.9

SPG restart

An SPG restart is necessary if:
• the protective field is interrupted, but at least one synchronization beam is not occupied.
• and CS is activated (operating mode5) or CS and TH are activated (operating mode1 or 6)
WARNING
Unauthorized restart may result in serious injury!
Ä A person with the necessary competence must observe the procedure exactly. Ä Make certain that the danger zone can be viewed from the reset button and that the entire
process can be observed by the person with the necessary competence.
Ä Before and during the restart, ensure that there are no people in the danger zone.
Perform SPG restart
Ä If the safety sensor responds with an error message, perform an error reset first (see chapter 4.7 "Error
reset").
Ä Press and release the reset button within 0.15s to 4s.
The safety sensor switches on.
NOTICE
If, after the button is pressed for the second time, a valid SPG state is present (CS switching signal is applied, protective field interrupted), the initiated SPG sequence is continued. The ML signal output alternately delivers 0V and 24V until the OSSDs are switched on again.

Override

An override is necessary if:
• the protective field is interrupted and both synchronization beams are interrupted
• and CS is activated (operating mode5) or CS and TH are activated (operating mode1 or 6)
WARNING
Unmonitored overrides may result in serious injury!
Ä A competent person must watch the event carefully. Ä If necessary, the competent person must release the reset button immediately to stop the
dangerous movement.
Ä Make certain that the danger zone can be viewed from the reset button and that the entire
process can be observed by a responsible person.
Ä Before and during the override, ensure that there are no people in the danger zone.
Perform override
Ä If the safety sensor responds with an error message, perform an error reset (see chapter 4.7 "Error re-
set").
Ä Press and release the reset button within 0.15s to 4s. Ä Press the reset button a second time and keep it pressed down. ð The safety sensor switches on.
• Case1: valid SPG condition If a valid SPG condition is found to exist, the OSSDs remain in the ON state, even if the reset button is released. The system resumes its normal operation.
• Case2: invalid SPG condition In these cases, the release of the OSSDs is maintained only for as long as the reset button is pressed.
NOTICE
Override not possible if there are problems with the application!
The causes of the invalid SPG condition are to be investigated and remedied by a person with the necessary competence.
The system pauses during the override if the reset button is released or the maximum time for the override (120s) is exceeded.
NOTICE
The duration of the override is limited to 120s.
If the button remains pressed down after 120s, the safety sensor assumes its interlock state af­ter 150s.
Thereafter, the reset button must be pressed again and held down in order to continue the process. A step­by-step override is possible in this way.
NOTICE
If, after the button is pressed for the second time, a valid SPG state is present (CS switching signal is applied, protective field interrupted), the initiated SPG sequence is continued. The ML signal output alternately delivers 0V and 24V until the OSSDs are switched on again.

4.7 Error reset

If an internal or external error is detected by the receiver, it goes into the interlock state (see chapter 11.1 "What to do in case of failure?").
After trouble shooting acknowledge with the reset button or alternatively by switching the voltage supply on and off.

Blanking

During fixed blanking, beams are blanked at a fixed location (Fixed blanking).
NOTICE
Objects brought into the protective field must take up the entire field width so that it cannot be accessed next to the object. Otherwise locks are to be provided to prevent access.
WARNING
Risk of injury due to inadmissible application of blanking!
Blanking is not permitted with danger zone guarding since the blanked areas would form acces­sible bridges to the danger zone.
Ä Do not use blanking for danger zone guarding.

6 Mounting

Improper mounting may result in serious injury!
The protective function of the safety sensor is only ensured if appropriately and professionally mounted for the respective, intended area of application.
Mounting
WARNING
Ä Only allow the safety sensor to be installed by qualified persons (see chapter 2.2 "Neces-
sary competencies").
Ä Maintain the necessary safety distances (see chapter 6.1.1 "Calculation of safety dis-
tanceS").
Ä Make sure that stepping behind, crawling under or stepping over the protective device is reli-
ably ruled out and reaching under, over or around is taken into account in the safety dis­tance, if applicable with additional distanceCRO corresponding to ENISO13855.
Ä Take measures to prevent that the safety sensor can be used to gain access to the danger
zone, e.g. by stepping or climbing into it.
Ä Observe the relevant standards, regulations and these instructions. Ä Clean the transmitter and receiver at regular intervals: environmental conditions (see chap-
ter 14 "Technical data"), care (see chapter 10 "Maintenance").
Ä After mounting, check the safety sensor for proper function.

6.1 Arrangement of transmitter and receiver

Optical protective devices can only perform their protective function if they are mounted with adequate safety distance. When mounting, all delay times must be taken into account, such as the response times of the safety sensor and control elements as well as the stopping time of the machine, among others.
The following standards specify calculation formulas:
• IEC61496-2, "Active optoelectronic protective devices": distance of the reflecting surfaces/deflecting mirrors
• EN13855, "Safety of machines - The positioning of protective equipment in respect of approach speeds of parts of the human body": mounting situation and safety distances
NOTICE
In accordance with ISO13855, with a vertical protective field, it is possible to pass under beams over 300mm or pass over beams under 900mm. If the protective field is horizontal, climbing on the safety sensor must be prevented through suitable installation or with covers and the like.

Calculation of safety distance if protective fields act orthogonally to the approach direction

With vertical protective fields, ENISO13855 differentiates between
• SRT: safety distance concerning access through the protective field
• SRO: safety distance concerning access over the protective field
The two values are distinguished by the way additional distanceC is determined:
• CRT: from a calculation formula or as a constant (see chapter 6.1.1 "Calculation of safety distanceS")
• CRO: from the following table “Reaching over the vertical protective field of electro-sensitive protective equipment (excerpt from ENISO13855)”
The larger of the two values SRT and SRO is to be used.

Calculation example
Access to a robot with a stopping time of 250ms is to be safeguarded with a safety light curtain with 90mm of resolution and 1500mm of protective field height whose response time is 6ms. The safety light curtain directly switches the contactors whose response time is contained in the 250ms. An additional interface therefore does not have to be taken into consideration.
Ä Calculate safety distanceSRT using the formula acc. to ENISO13855.

This safety distance is not available in the application. This is why a new calculation is done with a safety light curtain with 40mm of resolution (response time=14ms):
Ä Re-calculate safety distanceSRT using the formula acc. to ENISO13855.
K [mm/s] = 1600

The safety light curtain with a 40mm resolution is thus suitable for this application.

Calculation example
The feeding-in area in a press with a stopping time of 130ms is to be safeguarded with a safety light cur­tain with 20mm of resolution and 600mm of protective field height. The response time of the safety light curtain is 12ms; the press Safety PLC has a response time of 40ms.
The safety sensor can be reached over. The upper edge of the protective field is located at a height of 1400mm; the point of operation is located at a height of 1000mm
Additional distanceCRO to the point of operation is 700mm (see table “Reaching over the vertical protective field of electro-sensitive protective equipment (excerpt from ENISO13855)”).
Ä Calculate safety distanceSRO using the formula acc. to ENISO13855.

Calculation example
The danger zone in front of a machine with a stopping time of 140ms is to be safeguarded as close to the floor height as possible using a horizontal safety light curtain as a replacement for a PS mat. Installation heightH
can be=0 - additional distanceC to the safety distance is then 1200mm. The shortest possible
min
safety sensor is to be used; the first value to be selected is to be 1350mm.
The receiver with 40mm of resolution and 1350mm protective field height has a response time of 13ms, an additional relay interface a response time of 10ms.
Ä Calculate safety distanceSRO using the formula acc. to ENISO13855.
K [mm/s] = 1600
T [s] = (0.140+0.013+0.010)
C [mm] = 1200
S [mm] = 1600mm/s×0.163s+1200mm
S [mm] = 1461
The safety distance of 1350mm is not sufficient; 1460mm are necessary.
This is why the calculation is repeated with a protective field height of 1500mm. The response time is now 14ms.
Ä Re-calculate safety distanceSRO using the formula acc. to ENISO13855.
K [mm/s] = 1600
T [s] = (0.140+0.014+0.010)
C [mm] = 1200
S [mm] = 1600mm/s×0.164s+1200mm
S [mm] = 1463
A suitable safety sensor has been found; its protective field height is 1500mm.
The following changes should now be taken into account in this example of the application conditions:
Small parts are occasionally thrown out of the machine; these can fall through the protective field. This should not trigger the safety function. In addition, the installation height is increased to 300mm.

Minimum distance to reflective surfaces

WARNING
Failure to maintain minimum distances to reflective surfaces may result in serious injury!
Reflective surfaces can indirectly deflect the transmitter beams to the receiver. In this case, in­terruption of the protective field is not detected.
Ä Determine the minimum distancea (see figure below). Ä Make certain that all reflective surfaces are the necessary minimum distance away from the
protective field according to IEC61496-2 (see the following diagram “Minimum distance to reflective surfaces as a function of the protective field width”).
Ä Check that reflective surfaces do not impair the detection capability of the safety sensor be-
fore start-up and at appropriate intervals.

6.2 Mounting the safety sensor

Proceed as follows:
• Select the type of fastening, e.g. swivel mount or swiveling mounting bracket (see chapter 6.2.4 "Fas­tening via BT-2HF swivel mount"orsee chapter 6.2.5 "Fastening via BT-2SB10 swiveling mounting brackets")
• Have a suitable tool at hand and mount the safety sensor in accordance with the notices regarding the mounting locations (see chapter 6.2.1 "Suitable mounting locations").
• If possible, affix safety notice stickers on the mounted safety sensor or device column (included in de­livery contents).
After mounting, you can electrically connect (see chapter 7 "Electrical connection"), start up, align (see chapter 8 "Starting up the device"), and test (see chapter 9.1 "Before the initial start-up and following modi­fications") the safety sensor.

Do the protective field height and dimensions satisfy the requirements of EN13855?
Is the safety distance to the point of operation maintained (see chapter 6.1.1 "Calculation of safety distanceS")?
Is the minimum distance to reflective surfaces maintained (see chapter 6.1.4 "Minimum distance to reflective surfaces")?
Is it impossible for safety sensors that are mounted next to one another to mutually inter­fere with one another (see chapter 6.1.6 "Preventing mutual interference between adjacent devices")?
Can the point of operation or the danger zone only be accessed through the protective field?
Has bypassing the protective field by crawling under, reaching over, or jumping over been prevented or has corresponding additional distanceCRO in accordance with ENISO13855 been observed?
Is stepping behind the protective device prevented or is mechanical protection available?
Do the transmitter and receiver connections point in the same direction?
Can the transmitter and receiver be fastened in such a way that they cannot be moved and turned?
Is the safety sensor accessible for testing and replacing?
Is it impossible to actuate the reset button from within the danger zone?
Can the entire danger zone be seen from the installation site of the reset button?
Can reflection caused by the installation site be ruled out?
Also observe the additional SPG-specific information (see chapter 4.6 "Smart Process Gating").
NOTICE
If you answer one of the items on the checklist above with no, the mounting location must be changed.

Definition of directions of movement

The following terms for alignment movements of the safety sensor around one of its axes are used:
a Sliding: movement along the longitudinal axis
b Turning: movement around the longitudinal axis
c Tilting: lateral turning movement diagonal to the front screen
d Pitching: lateral turning movement in the direction of the front screen
Fig.6.6: Directions of movement during alignment of the safety sensor
6.2.3

Fastening via BT-NC60 sliding blocks

By default, transmitter and receiver are delivered with 2BT-NC60 sliding blocks each in the side slot. This makes fastening the safety sensor to the machine or system to be safeguarded easy via four M6 screws. Sliding in the direction of slot to set the height is possible, but turning, tilting and pitching is not.

Mounting
6.2.4

Fastening via BT-2HF swivel mount

With the swivel mount (see chapter 15 "Order guide and accessories"), sold separately, the safety sensor can be aligned as follows:
• Sliding through the vertical threaded holes in the wall plate of the swivel mount
• Turning by 360° around the longitudinal axis by fixing on the screw-on cone
• Pitching in the direction of the protective field with horizontal threaded holes in the wall mounting
• Tilting around main axis
The wall mounting through threaded holes makes it possible to lift the mounting bracket after the screws have been loosened over the connection cap. Therefore, the mounting brackets do not need to be removed from the wall when exchanging the device. Loosening the screws is sufficient.
For increased mechanical loads, mounting brackets are also available in a vibration-damped version (BT-2HF-S) (see chapter 15 "Order guide and accessories").

Mounting
For larger protective field heights > 900 mm, the use of the BT-2SB10 swiveling mounting brackets is rec­ommended (see chapter 15 "Order guide and accessories"). For increased mechanical requirements, these are also available as vibration-damped version (BT-2SB10-S). Depending on the installation situation, envi­ronmental conditions and protective field length (> 1200 mm), other mounting brackets may also be neces­sary.
6.2.6

One-sided mounting on the machine table

The safety sensor can be mounted directly on the machine table via an M5 screw on the blind hole in the end cap. On the other end, a BT-2HF swivel mount can be used, for example, so that turning movements for alignment are possible despite the fact that the sensor is mounted on one side. The full resolution of the safety sensor is thus preserved on all points of the protective field down to the machine table.
Fig.6.10: Mounting directly on the machine table
WARNING
Impairment of the protective function due to reflections on the machine table!
Ä Make sure that reflections on the machine table are prevented reliably. Ä After mounting and every day after that, check the detection capability of the safety sensor
in the entire protective field using a test rod (see chapter 9.3.1 "Checklist – periodically by the operator").

8 Starting up the device

WARNING
Improper use of the safety sensor may result in serious injury!
Ä Make certain that the entire device and the integration of the optoelectronic protective de-
vice were inspected by qualified and instructed persons (see chapter 2.2 "Necessary com­petencies").
Ä Make certain that a dangerous process can only be started while the safety sensor is
switched on.
Prerequisites:
• Safety sensor mounted (see chapter 6 "Mounting") and connected (see chapter 7 "Electrical connec­tion") correctly
• Operating personnel were instructed in proper use
• Dangerous process is switched off, outputs of the safety sensor are disconnected, and the system is protected against being switched back on
Ä After start-up, check the function of the safety sensor (see chapter 9.1 "Before the initial start-up and
following modifications").
Starting up the device

8.1 Switching on

Requirements for the supply voltage (power supply unit):
• Reliable mains separation is ensured.
• Current reserve of at least 2A is available.
• The RES function is activated - either in the safety sensor or in the downstream control.
Ä Switch on the safety sensor. ð The safety sensor performs a self test and then displays the response time of the receiver.
Check operational readiness of sensor
Ä Check whether LED2 illuminates yellow constantly (see chapter 3.4.2 "Operating indicators on the
MLC530SPG receiver").
ð The safety sensor is ready to be unlocked.

8.2 Aligning the sensor

NOTICE
Faulty or incorrect alignment may result in an operating fault!
Ä The alignment performed during start-up should only be performed by qualified persons (see
chapter 2.2 "Necessary competencies").
Ä Observe the data sheets and mounting instructions of the individual components.
Prealignment
Fasten the transmitter and receiver in a vertical or horizontal position and at the same height so that
• the front screens are directed at each other.
• the transmitter and receiver connections point in the same direction.
• the transmitter and receiver are arranged parallel to each other, i.e. they are the same distance from each other at the beginning and end of the device.
Alignment can be performed with a clear protective field by observing the LEDs and the 7-segment display (see chapter 3.4 "Display elements").
Leuze electronic MLC 530 SPG 59
Page 60
Ä Loosen the screws on the mounting brackets or device columns.
NOTICE
Loosen the screws only enough so that the devices can just be moved.
Ä Turn the transmitter and receiver toward one another so that LED2 on the receiver just illuminates yel-
low and does not switch off (see chapter 3.4.2 "Operating indicators on the MLC530SPG receiver").
ð The receiver with activated alignment display shows flashing segments in the 7-segment display.
Ä Tighten the fastening screws on the mounting brackets or device columns.
NOTICE
Separate alignment aids such as the AC-ALM are also available as accessories.

8.3 Acknowledgement button

NOTICE
Starting up the device
8.3.1
Reset
Pin1 of the receiver is a clocked input and output. It is thus not possible to couple the reset sig­nal with other devices. This can result in an erroneous, automatic reset trigger.

Unlocking start/restart interlock

With the acknowledgement button, the start/restart interlock can be unlocked or an SPG restart or override triggered (see chapter 4.6 "Smart Process Gating"). In this way, the responsible person can restore the ON state of the safety sensor following process interruptions (due to triggering of protective function, failure of the voltage supply, SPG error) (see chapter 4.6.9 "SPG restart").
WARNING
Premature unlocking of the start/restart interlock may result in serious injury!
If the start/restart interlock is unlocked, the system can start up automatically.
Ä Before unlocking the start/restart interlock, make certain that no people are in the danger
zone.
The red LED of the receiver illuminates as long as the restart is locked (OSSD off). The yellow LED illumi­nates when the protective field is free and RES is activated (ready to be unlocked).
Ä Make certain that the active protective field is clear. Ä Make certain that there are no people in the danger zone. Ä Press and release the reset button within 0.15 to 4s. The receiver switches to the ON state.
If you keep the reset button pressed longer than 4s:
• Starting at 4s: the reset request is ignored.
• Starting at 30s: a +24V short circuit is assumed on the reset input and the receiver switches to the in­terlock state (see chapter 11.1 "What to do in case of failure?").
NOTICE
An individual acknowledgement unit must be provided for each MLC 530 receiver.
Leuze electronic MLC 530 SPG 60
Page 61
Starting up the device
8.3.2

SPG restart and override

In the event of an error in the SPG sequence (e.g.: timeout, failure of the supply voltage, sequence error, etc.), the SPG function can be triggered manually and the system started even with light axes of the safety sensor interrupted. Interfering objects can thereby again be cleared. A CS switching signal must be present. In operating modes 1 and 6, the antivalent TH signal is to be applied in addition to the CS switch­ing signal.
WARNING
Premature unlocking of the start/restart interlock may result in serious injury!
If the start/restart interlock is unlocked, the system can start up automatically.
Ä Before unlocking the start/restart interlock, make certain that the cause of locking (e.g., se-
quence error) has been rectified.
Ä Before unlocking the start/restart interlock, make certain that no people are in the danger
zone.
Depending on whether or not the synchronization beams are occupied, an SPG restart (see chapter 4.6.9 "SPG restart") or override (see chapter 4.6.10 "Override") is to be performed.

11 Troubleshooting

11.1 What to do in case of failure?

After switching the safety sensor on, the display elements (see chapter 3.4 "Display elements") assist in checking the correct functionality and in faultfinding.
In case of failure, you can determine the fault from the LED displays or read a message from the 7-seg­ment display. With the error message you can determine the cause of the error and initiate measures to rectify it.
NOTICE
If the safety sensor responds with an error display, you will often be able to eliminate the cause yourself!
Ä Switch off the machine and leave it switched off. Ä Analyze and eliminate the cause of the fault using the following table. Ä If you are unable to rectify the fault, contact the Leuze electronic branch responsible for you
or call the Leuze electronic customer service (see chapter 13 "Service and support").

NOTICE
The safety-related transistor outputs perform the spark extinction. With transistor outputs, it is therefore neither necessary nor permitted to use the spark extinction circuits recommended by contactor or valve manufacturers (RC elements, varistors or recovery diodes), since these con­siderably extend the decay times of inductive switching elements.
