• The safety sensor protects persons at access points or at points of operation of machines and sys
tems.
• 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 in the safety
chain is essential.
• 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 periodically tested by persons with the necessary competence (see
chapter 2.2).
• The safety sensor must be exchanged after a maximum of 20 years. Repairs or the exchange of
parts subject to wear and tear do not extend the mission time.

4.1Start/restart interlock
(MLD 320, MLD 330, MLD 335, MLD 520, MLD 530, MLS 535)
The start/restart interlock 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). The
operator must make certain that no people are present in the danger zone before the system is manually
re-enabled with the start/restart button

For series connection of multiple type 2 devices (e.g. MLD 312 and type 2 protective sensors),
cross connection between test signal and switching output is to be avoided. For this purpose,
connecting cables must be laid so that no cross connections can occur, or test signal and switch-
ing output must be laid in separate cables.
Functions
4.7Muting
By means of muting, the protective function can be temporarily and properly suppressed, e.g. if objects
are to be transported through the protective field. During this time, the OSSDs remain in the ON state in
spite of interruption of one or more beams.
Muting is only initiated automatically and via two mutually independent muting signals. The muting indi
cator illuminates continuously during the entire duration of muting operation. End of muting operation is
forced as soon as the preset maximum duration (muting timeout) is exceeded.
Following malfunctions or operationally related interruptions (e.g. power failure, violation of the simulta
neity condition during timing controlled 2-sensor muting on activation of the muting sensors), the system
can be manually reset with the start/restart button and overridden.
4.7.1Timing controlled 2-sensor muting
The two muting sensors MS1 and MS2 are arranged in such a way that the beams cross and the process
can utomatically activate both sensors (within 4
protective field in both directions. The intersection point must be within the danger zone to prevent muting
from being unintentionally triggered.
If muting was properly activated, it remains active even during brief interruptions of a single sensor signal.
On foil-wrapped objects, for example, brief signal interruptions can occur—particularly with diffuse
sensors. These short signal interruptions are, therefore, filtered out for up to max. 3
300 ms). If both muting sensors are inactive simultaneously, timing controlled 2-sensor muting ends.

Sequence controlled 2-sensor muting is particularly well suited for exiting danger zones, especially if there
is only limited space available outside of the danger zone. In this case, material transport is only permis
sible in one direction due to the arrangement of the muting sensors. Muting sensors MS1 and MS2 are
positioned within the danger zone and arranged so that they are activated in sequence. Once the muting
area is clear again, the muting state ends with a delay of 5

Sequence controlled 2-sensor muting can also be used if objects that are positioned close to one another
are to be moved through the protective field. The distance between the individual objects must, however,
be large enough that at least one muting sensor is free between two successive objects for at least 300 ms.

Muting is ended correctly (e.g. the OSSDs remain in the ON state during passage) when the MS3 (MS2)
becomes free during the expected passing sequence and therefore switches to “inactive”.
Muting is ended incorrectly (e. g. the OSSDs switch off) when the following cases occur:
• During the muting process, a muting sensor incorrectly switches to “inactive”.
• MS2 is not activated within 4 s after MS1 (or MS3 is not activated within 4 s after MS4).
• The muting time limit has elapsed.
Make sure that the material to be transported is sufficiently long for the simultaneous activation
of the muting sensors (see chapter 6.2.6).
4.7.4Muting timeout
A flexible, application-adapted muting timeout extension (e.g. by a high-pass signal) is possible in oper
ating modes 1, 5 and 6 (see chapter 4.7.9). In the standard operating modes, the time frame for the muting
timeout is set to 10 min and muting is automatically ended after this time elapses (the protective function
is active again). In operating modes 2 and 4, 100 h is set as muting timeout.
For this purpose, +24 V must be applied to the muting timeout input before muting is initiated. If, during
muting, voltage now switches to 0 V at this input (e.g. by a high-pass signal), the muting timeout is
extended as long as 0
possible for another 10
The muting timeout extension ends as soon as one of the following conditions is met:
• Level at the input of the muting timeout extension switches to the high state
• Muting duration reaches 100 h
-
V continues to be present. After the muting timeout extension ends, muting is only
min.

4.7.5Muting restart
Following a muting error (e.g. muting timeout, failure of the supply voltage), the restart button can be used
to override the muting path even if the protective field is interrupted
WARNING
Unmonitored overrides may result in serious injury!
A qualified person (see chapter 2.2) must observe the procedure exactly.
If necessary, the competent person (see chapter 2.2) must release the reset button immediately to
stop the dangerous movement.
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.
Before and during the muting override, ensure that there are no people in the danger zone.
4.7.6Alternative connection for second muting signal
Particularly in cases in which the second independent muting signal comes, for example, from a control,
it is advantageous to connect this signal to the machine interface (8-pin plug). In operating modes 2, 3, 4
and 6, the second muting signal can alternatively be connected to input MS2 of the 8-pin plug or to input
MS2 of the local interface (5-pin socket).
(see chapter 8.6.2).
The muting signal from the control must not be applied constantly; rather, it must only be activat-
ed if muting is required.
With the muting-enable function, muting can be enabled or disabled via an external signal. If +24 V is
applied at the muting-enable input, a subsequent, valid muting sequence results in muting. If 0
at the muting-enable input, no muting is possible, even if a valid muting sequence is detected. This signal
may be applied for a maximum of 8 hours (as high level); otherwise, an error is displayed. Before mutingenable can be used, 0

4.7.8Partial muting
For transmitter-receiver systems, the top light beam is not included in muting in operating mode 6. As a
result, the protective device switches to the interlock state in spite of active muting if the upper beam is
interrupted.
4.7.9Muting operating modes
The device models with integrated muting can be operated in six different operating modes. Corre
sponding to the operating mode selected, various functions are available for every muting type.
All functions and operating modes can be selected without additional equipment, such as PC, software,
etc.
Details concerning operating mode selection can be found in chapter “Electrical connection” (see
chapter 7.3).

5.1Access guarding
MLD safety sensors are used e.g. for access guarding of danger zones. They detect people only upon
entry into the danger zone, i.e. they do not detect a person who is present in the danger zone. Access
guarding may therefore only be operated with activated start/restart interlock or additional safety measures
must be taken.

6Mounting
WARNING
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.
Only allow the safety sensor to be installed by qualified persons (see chapter 2.2).
Maintain the necessary safety distances (see chapter 6.1.3).
Observe the relevant standards, regulations and these instructions.
Clean the transmitter and receiver at regular intervals: environmental conditions (see chapter 14), care
(see chapter 10).
After mounting, check the safety sensor for proper function.
6.1Arrangement 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, e.g. the response times of
the safety sensor and control elements as well as the stopping time of the machine.
The following standards specify calculation formulas:
Mounting
• EN 13855, "The positioning of protective devices in respect of approach speeds of parts of the
human body": mounting situation and safety distances
• EN IEC 61496-2, "Active optoelectronic protective devices": distance of the reflecting surfaces/
deflecting mirrors
6.1.1Arrangement of 1-beam safety sensors
When safeguarding with 1-beam safety sensors, make certain that the light beams are aligned
parallel to the reference plane, e.g. to the floor. For multi-axis safeguarding with 1-beam safety
sensors, the opposite beam direction is to be selected for adjacent sensors because the light
beams in the individual axes otherwise mutually interfere with one another, thereby affecting the
safe function of the protective device.

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.

If a receiver is located in the beam path of an adjacent transmitter, optical crosstalk, and thus erroneous

WARNING
With systems that are mounted spatially close to one another, a transmitter of one system can influence
the receiver of the other system, thereby affecting the protective function!
Prevent optical crosstalk between adjacent devices.

-
ence.
Mount the adjacent devices oppositely with respect to one another to prevent mutual interference.
Muting sensors detect material and supply the signals necessary for muting. Standard
IEC TS 62046 provides basic information on arranging the muting sensors. This information
must be observed when mounting the muting sensors.
6.2.1Basic information
Before you begin with the selection and mounting of the muting sensors, please note the following:
• Muting must be triggered by two independently wired muting signals and must not be fully dependent
on software signals, e.g. from a PLC.
• When using a transceiver as a safety sensor and retro-reflective photoelectric sensors as muting
sensors, electrical connections are only necessary on one end, e.g. of a conveyor line.
• Always mount muting sensors so that the minimum distance to the protective device is maintained
(see chapter 6.2.3).
• Always mount the muting sensors so that the material is detected and not the transport device, e.g.
the pallet.
• Material must be allowed to pass through unimpeded; people must be reliably detected.
Mounting
WARNING
Unintentionally triggered muting may result in serious injury!
Mount the muting sensors in such a way that muting cannot be unintentionally triggered by a person,
e.g. by simultaneously activating the muting sensors with a foot.
Mount the muting indicator so that it is always visible from all sides.
6.2.2Selecting optoelectronic muting sensors
Muting sensors detect material and supply the signals necessary for muting. If muting conditions are
fulfilled, the safety sensor can use the signals from the muting sensors to bridge the protective function.
The signals can be generated by e.g. optoelectronic sensors from Leuze electronic:
6.2.3Minimum distance for optoelectronic muting sensors
The minimum distance is the distance between the protective field of the AOPD and the detection points
of the muting sensor light beams. This distance must be maintained when mounting the muting sensors
to prevent the pallet or material from reaching the protective field before the muting signals can bridge the
protective function of the AOPD. The minimum distance is dependent on the time needed by the system
to process the muting signals.
Depending on the given application, calculate the minimum distance for either timing controlled
2-sensor muting (see chapter 6.2.4) or for sequence controlled 2-sensor muting (see chapter 6.2.5).
When arranging the muting sensors, make certain that the calculated minimum distance to the protec
tive field is maintained.
-
6.2.4Arrangement of the muting sensors for timing controlled 2-sensor muting
With timing controlled 2-sensor muting, throughbeam or retro-reflective photoelectric sensors are
frequently used. The material can move in both directions (
see chapter 4.7.1).
Prealigned muting sensor sets (accessories) for MLD safety sensors simplify the set-up of this muting solu
tion (see figure 14.13).

With timing controlled 2-sensor muting, the beams from the muting sensors should intersect behind the
protective field of the safety sensor, i.e. within the danger zone, to prevent muting from being triggered
unintentionally.
Distances a and b between fixed edges and the muting object (e.g. transport material) must be such that
a person cannot enter through these openings undetected while the pallet passes through the muting
zone. However, if it is assumed that persons are located here, the risk of crushing must be prevented, e.g.
with wicket gates, which are integrated electrically into the safety circuit.

Figure 6.9:Arrangement of the muting sensors at height d7
Mount the muting sensors so that the intersection point of their light beams is at the same height or
higher than the lowest light beam of the safety sensor (d7).
This prevents—or hinders—manipulation with the feet since the protective field is interrupted before the
muting-sensor light beam.
To increase safety and make manipulation more difficult, MS1 and MS2 should, if possible, be
mounted at different heights (i.e. no point-shaped intersection of the light beams).
6.2.5Arrangement of the muting sensors for sequence controlled 2-sensor muting
With this muting operating mode, material transport is only permissible in one direction due to the arrange
ment of the muting sensors (see chapter 4.7.2).
Pre-mounted muting sensor sets (accessories) for MLD safety sensors simplify the set-up of this muting

Distances a and b between fixed edges and the muting object (e.g. transport material) must be such that
a person cannot enter through these openings undetected while the pallet passes through the muting
zone. However, if it is assumed that persons are located here, the risk of crushing must be prevented, e.g.
with wicket gates, which are integrated electrically into the safety circuit.

Height of the muting-sensor light beams
The same conditions apply as with sequence controlled 2-sensor muting (see figure 6.11).
Select the height of the light beams of the muting sensors so that the transport material is detected and
not the pallet or transport device.
Otherwise, you must take additional measures to prevent people from entering the danger zone on top
of the pallet or transport device.
6.3Mounting the safety sensor
Proceed as follows:
• Select the type of fastening, e.g. swivel mount (see chapter 6.3.2) or clamp bracket (see
chapter 6.3.3).
• Have a suitable tool at hand and mount the safety sensor in accordance with the notices regarding
the mounting locations (see chapter 6.3.1).
• If possible, affix safety notice stickers on the mounted safety sensor or device column.
After mounting, you can electrically connect (see chapter 7), start up, align (see chapter 8), and test (see
chapter 9.1) the safety sensor.

7.1Pin assignment transmitter and receiver
7.1.1Standard pin assignment
Transmitter and receiver (transceiver) are equipped with M12 connectors. The transmitter has a 5-pin plug,
the receiver/transceiver has a 5- or 8-pin plug, MLD
and MLD 535 have an 8-pin socket. This is used for connecting the signals of the muting sensors. Alter
natively, the sensors can be directly connected via the AC-SCMx connection box. The socket is A-coded.
The operating mode for device models MLD 320, MLD 520, MLD 330, MLD 335, MLD 530 and MLD 535
is dependent on the pin assignment of the 8-pin plug and can be changed when the device is in a de-ener
gized state. On device start-up, the software determines the parameters that have been set in this way.
Type 2 device models MLD
Leuze electronicMLD 300, MLD 50048
310, MLD 510 and MLD 312 and the transmitters are not configured.
Impairment of the protective function due to faulty muting signals
The ground connection of receiver/transceiver MLD x30/MLDx335 must be wired between the ground
connections of muting signals MS1 and MS2. For the muting sensors and the safety sensor, a shared
power supply unit is to be used. The connection lines of the muting sensors must be laid separated
from one another and protected.

7.1.3AS-i pin assignment
The MLD/500 AS-i safety sensor has an interface for connecting to the safe AS-i bus and, optionally, an
interface for connecting an external muting indicator.
If necessary, grounding via sliding blocks with ground contact or on the thread of the M12 connector is
possible.

7.1.4AS-i signal assignment
Optionally, 100 ms and 500 ms restart delay times can be set via the P0 parameter (see table 7.4). The
P1 parameter contains the interfering signal information delivered by the receiver/transceiver. To read out,
the AS-i master must configure the P1 parameter with 1 (parameter call P1=1). If 1 is still displayed in
parameter P1 after reading back, no interference has occurred. If parameter P1 is changed to 0, a
periphery error has occurred.

Improper use of the safety sensor may result in serious injury!
Make certain that the entire device and the integration of the optoelectronic protective device was
inspected by competent and instructed persons (see chapter 2.2).
Make certain that a dangerous process can only be started while the safety sensor is switched on.
Prerequisites:
• Safety sensor has been mounted and connected according to the instructions
• Operators have been trained in the correct use
• Dangerous process is switched off, the outputs of the safety sensor are disconnected, and the sys
tem is protected against being switched back on
After start-up, check the function of the safety sensor (see chapter 9).
8.1Switching on
Requirements for the supply voltage (power supply unit):
• Reliable mains separation ensured
• Current reserve of at least 2 A available
• Start/restart interlock function connected and activated
Starting up the device
-
Make certain that the system cannot start up on its own.
Switch on the voltage supply on the safety sensor.
The safety sensor performs a brief self test.
Check whether the green LED illuminates continuously.
The safety sensor is ready for use.
8.2AS-i connection start-up
8.2.1Initial commissioning
Proceed as described in chapter 8.1.
If the AS-i safety sensor is correctly integrated in the cyclical data exchange of the AS-Interface, the LED2
illuminates green.
AS-i safety sensor addressing occurs via the M12 connector with conventional AS-i address programming
devices.
In one AS-i network, every possible bus address (1...31) may only be used once. The transmitter
does not receive a bus address.
The AS-i safety sensor is configured with asimon configuration and diagnostics software.
The asimon user's guide can be downloaded from the Internet at www.leuze.com/asi.
NOTICE
Avoid errors when integrating the system!
Make sure that the safety sensor OSSDs are in the ON state.
Do not interrupt code table teach-in by interfering with the safety sensor protective field.
Leuze electronicMLD 300, MLD 50063
Page 64
8.2.2Exchange of AS-i slaves
When exchanging an AS-i safety sensor, you do not have to perform a new configuration.
When exchanging an AS-i safety sensor, pay attention to the connecting and operating instruc-
tions of the AS-i safety monitor. The connecting and operating instructions for the
Leuze electronic AS-i safety monitor ASM can be downloaded from the Internet at
www.leuze.com/asi.
Disconnect the defective AS-i slave from the AS-i cable
The AS-i safety monitor stops the system.
Press the SERVICE button on the AS-i safety monitor
With the first press of the SERVICE button, it is determined whether exactly one AS-i slave is
missing. This is noted in the AS-i safety monitor error storage. The AS-i safety monitor switches
into configuration operation
Install the new AS-i slave
AS-i slaves have bus address “0” in their delivery default state. When exchanging, the AS-i mas-
ter automatically programs the replacement slave with the previous bus address of the defective
slave. Readdressing is therefore not necessary. The LED2 of the AS-i safety sensor must illumi-
nate green.
Starting up the device
Check the supply voltage of the sensor via the AS-Interface.
LED1 illuminates red.
Check the protective field function on the receiver or transceiver:
For a free protective field, LED1 switches from red to green.
NOTICE
Avoid errors when integrating the system!
Make sure that the safety sensor OSSDs are in the ON state.
Do not interrupt code table teach-in by interfering with the safety sensor protective field.
Press the SERVICE button on the AS-i safety monitor
With the second press of the SERVICE button, the code sequence of the new AS-i slave is taught
in and checked for correctness. If this is okay, the AS-i Safety Monitor switches back into protec-
tive mode.
Actuate the start signal to restart the AS-i system
System restart occurs corresponding to the configuration with the restart interlock or with an automatic
restart in the AS-i safety monitor.
After exchanging a defective safe AS-i slaves, check the function of the new AS-i slave for correctness
(see chapter 9.1).
8.3Aligning the safety sensor
NOTICE
Faulty or incorrect alignment may result in an operating fault.
The alignment performed during start-up should only be performed by qualified personnel.
Observe the data sheets and mounting instructions of the individual components.
Prealignment
Fasten the transmitter and receiver or transceiver and deflecting mirror at the same height so that the
front screens face one another.
Leuze electronicMLD 300, MLD 50064
Page 65
Make certain that both connections point downward.
With transceiver systems: make certain that the name plate on transceiver and mirror are located
on the same side.
8.4Aligning without integrated laser alignment aid
Transmitter and receiver or transceiver and deflecting mirror must be aligned with one another. Only then
is the safety sensor ready. Alignment can be performed with a clear protective field by observing the LEDs.
When using deflecting mirror columns for multi-sided access guarding, we recommend using
transmitter-receiver systems with integrated alignment aid (see chapter 8.5) or a laser alignment
aid as an accessory (see chapter Accessories) for simplifying the alignment process.
Prerequisites:
• Mounting and prealignment have been performed, i.e. transmitter and receiver or transceiver and
deflecting mirror are in a vertical position and the front screens of the devices are facing one another.
• The safety sensor is electrically connected.
• The LEDs on the light axes of the transmitter illuminate green, the LEDs and, if applicable, the
7-segment display on the receiver are also active.
If the red LED on the receiver illuminates or for optimum adjustment (green LED is illuminated), loosen
the screws on the mounting brackets or on the device columns.
Starting up the device
Loosen the screws only enough so that the devices or columns can just be turned.
Turn the receiver to the left until LED1 still flashes green but does not yet illuminate red. You may also
need to carefully turn the transmitter in this direction.
Note the value of the twist angle.
Turn the receiver to the right until LED1 still flashes green but does not yet illuminate red. You may also
need to carefully turn the transmitter in this direction.
Note the value of the twist angle.
Set the optimum position of the receiver. This lies in the middle of the two values for the twist angle to
the left and right.
8.5Aligning with integrated laser alignment aid
(MLD 300-xxL, MLD 500-xxL)
To simplify the alignment of the safety sensor during start-up, the transmitters of the series mentioned
above are optionally equipped with an integrated laser alignment aid. You can use this to precisely and
quickly align the transmitter and receiver and, for multi-sided access guarding, the deflecting mirror
columns and their individual mirrors.
Note that, for technical reasons, the individual laser beams are not 100% parallel. This does not
have a negative impact on the alignment process, since the deviation of the laser beams from
parallelity is much smaller than the conical beam expansion of the effective safety-related infra-
red beams emitted by the transmitter.
Figure 8.1:Setting up multi-sided access guarding using the integrated laser alignment aid. The trans
mitter is best mounted in a position that features the shortest distance to the deflecting mirror
column.
-
8.5.1Required devices and tools
Before you start to align the components, make certain that the required devices and tools are at hand:
• Alignment templates, mounting devices and MagnetKey
• Socket wrench WAF10, Allen key WAF5, hexagon wrench WAF10 for aligning transmitter and
receiver in the UDC device column
• Allen key WAF6 for aligning the UDC device columns and the UMC deflecting mirror columns by
turning the fastening screws of the alignment base
• Allen key WAF4 for aligning the UMC deflecting mirror column by adjusting the position of the individ
-
ual mirrors
After you have laid out all necessary devices and tools, you can start the alignment process.
8.5.2Aligning without UDC device columns and without UMC deflecting mirror columns
Prerequisites:
• Transmitter and receiver are fastened without device columns with mounting brackets (sliding blocks
or swivel mounts).
• The receiver's switching outputs to the machine have been disconnected and the system is safe
-
guarded against being switched back on.
Loosen the fastening screws of the mounting brackets for the transmitter and receiver.
Switch on the transmitter and receiver.
CAUTION
Danger! Class 2 laser beams!
Never look directly into the laser beam. This can cause damage to the eye.

The laser remains switched on for approx. 10 min.; then it switches off automatically. It can be
reactivated at any time
At a smal l transmi tter-rec eiver dis t ance of ap prox. 18 m , the height and orientation of the transmitter are
changed by moving and, if necessary, turning, until all laser spots are incident on the reflective elements
for the laser alignment aid in the receiver, causing them to illuminate brightly (see figure 8.2). During
this process, turn the receiver as well if necessary.
At a larger transmitter-receiver distance, the height and orientation of the transmitter are changed by
moving and, if necessary, turning until at least one laser spot is incident on the reflective element for the

8.6Start/restart button
The start/restart button can be used to unlock the start/restart interlock or to trigger a muting restart. In this
way, the responsible person can restore normal operation of the system following process interruptions
(triggering of the protective function, failure of the voltage supply, muting fault)
chapter 8.6.2).
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.
Before unlocking the start/restart interlock, make certain that no people are in the danger zone.
The red and yellow LEDs illuminate as long as the restart is disabled.
Make certain that the active protective field is clear.
The yellow LED only illuminates if the protective field is clear.
If the active protective field is not clear, select a different procedure (see chapter 8.6.2).
Make certain that there are no people in the danger zone.
Press the start/restart button and release it again (after 0.15 … 4 s).
The receiver/transceiver switches back to the ON state.

a) In the event of a failure (if the 0 V cable is interrupted), each of the outputs behaves as a 120 k resistor to Uv. A down-
stream safety PLC must not detect this as a logical “1”.
b) Note the additional restrictions due to cable length and load current.
The safety-related transistor outputs perform the spark extinction. With transistor outputs, it is
therefore not necessary to use the spark extinction circuits recommended by contactor/valve
manufacturers etc. (RC elements, varistors or recovery diodes). These extend the decay times
of inductive switching elements.
