Section 1: Operation
The Safety Light Curtain (SLC) is made up of one active side with transmitter and receiver optical elements
called the transceiver and one completely passive side, with a mirror system.
The operator has a multifunction pushbutton, which is used for the following:
• TEST: If pressed during normal operation, it checks if all of the system, comprising of the SLC and the
machine is working. Pressing the TEST button (opening the contact) basically simulates the interruption
of one or more safety beams and it is possible to check that the machinery stops in the correct time and
configuration.
• RESTART: If pressed after an intervention by the SLC, (manual reset condition) the system will be
reset.
• ALIGNMENT: If the button is pressed when there is no power supply to the SLC and then power is
restored, whilst the button is being pressed, it enters alignment mode, i.e. it provides an indication of the
alignment position of the unit by means of two yellow LEDs.
• OVERRIDE: (only present if the muting function is operational) if the button is pressed within 5 seconds
of switching on and it is kept pressed for at least 5 seconds, the SLC will close the safety outputs if the
beams are interrupted. This condition stops as soon as the button is released or automatically after
120 seconds.
1. Automatic reset: After the SLC has detected an object, it returns to normal operation as soon as the object is removed.
2. Manual reset: Normal operating mode is only restored after the object has been removed and the reset
button has been pressed.
To enable the muting function, the LMS muting indicator must be connected when the SLC is not connec-
ted to the power supply, as shown in section 6, and then the SLC's power supply must be restored. To
disable the muting function, the LMS muting indicator must be disconnected when the SLC is not connec-
ted to the power supply, and then the SLC's power supply restored.
Please remember that by enabling/disabling the muting function the override function is automati-
cally enabled/disabled.
The outputs are PNP type.
Should the load to be controlled have alternating current or require more than 250 mA consumption, it is ne-
cessary to use an external safety relay module.
7
Section 2: Precautions and criteria for installation
The area where the SLC is to be installed must be compatible with the SLC 's technical specifications. The
temperature of the environment, interference caused by electromagnetic disturbance and sources of light
and such like, should be assessed a competent person. Please contact the manufacturer for any information
not contained in this manual.
2-1 Calculation of the minimum distance for installation
The safety distance 'S' must guarantee that the operator cannot reach the danger zone before the machinery
with the moving parts has stopped. The formula to calculate the safety distance for multi-beam SLCs is as
follows:
S = (K * T) + C
S = safety distance.
T = T1 + T2
where T1 = machinery's response time in seconds.
T2 = SLC's response time in seconds.
K = 1600 mm/s (approach speed of the body to the danger zone).
C = 850 mm
S
H2
H1
S = safety distance.
H1 = the bottom optical beam must not have a height above 400 mm.
H2 = the top optical beam must not be below 900 mm.

2-2 Reflecting surfaces
Be sure to install the SLC to minimize the effect of reflection from nearby surfaces. Serious injuries
!
can result if these effects are not taken into consideration.
Should there be any reflecting surfaces, the distance must be sufficient to safeguard against passive
reflections.
The distance can be calculated following the table below:
where 'D' and 'L' are expressed in m
Reflecting surface
Model L distance between SLCs Minimum permitted installation distance D
F3S-TGR-SB2-KxC 0.5 to 3 m 0.26 m
Over 3 m L/2 x tan5° = L/2 x 0.088 (m)
F3S-TGR-SB4-KxC 0.5 to 3 m 0.13 m
Over 3 m L/2 x tan5° = L/2 x 0.044 (m)
2-2 Reflecting surfaces 9
If several SLCs are used, care must be taken that each SLC does not interfere with the ones nearby;
please install as follows:

• The transformer needed to power the system must comply with standard EN 60742
(dual isolation), or with equivalent isolation, e.g. VDE 0551.
• The control unit must be protected with an external fuse, whose rated breaking current
must be 1 A.
• The TEST/RESTART button must be located so that the operator can see the protected
area when restarting, testing or overriding.
• The external illuminated indicator for muting override enabled must be located so that it
can be seen from all sides of operation.
• Read the section on the muting function and its use before locating the sensors for the
activation of this function.
• Check that the load does not absorb current in excess of 250 mA forr each OSSD; in
this case a protection device will intervene to limit the maximum current. If loads with
currents in excess of 250 mA for each OSSD or alternating current are to be controlled,
please connect an external safety relay module.
• Muting input A and Muting input B can be provided by mechanical switch, photoelectric
sensors, proximities switch, with closed contact in the presence of the object to be
detected.

Section 5: Alignment Procedure
After completing correct mechanical assembly and connections, as described in the previous sections, the
SLC should be aligned as follows:
• Disconnect the SLC's power supply.
• Open the test/restart contact.
• Restore the SLC's power supply.
• Adjust the direction of the SLC by moving the transceiver or the mirror. The 2 yellow LEDs located on
the transceiver will both be lit when the SLC is aligned correctly. In addiction also the green guard LED
will switch on and the red break LED will switch off
• After aligning the SLC, secure the bolts firmly.
• Disconnect the power supply.
• Restore the SLC's power supply (with the test contact closed); it will enter operating mode.
• Complete all the tests described in section 9 (final checks) and those required for routine maintenance
(section 10).

Section 6: Operating procedures
6-1 Setting the internal DIP-Switches
• Disconnect the SLC's power supply and remove the connector side of the transceiver, so that you can
access the two banks four-way dip-switches located there.
• Use a suitably sized screwdriver to set the dip-switches as per the required configuration according to
the following tables.

Section 7: Muting and override functions
7-1 General information
The muting and override functions enable the SLC to be bypassed for operational requirements. As required
by current standards, the SLC is provided with inputs for the activation of these functions. It should however
be remembered that these functions basically override the system and they should therefore be used with
due care.
7-2 Muting function
As mentioned in the introduction, the muting function can be enabled with any SLC by simply connecting the
LMS muting indicator when the SLC is switched off.
The presence of this indicator is recognised when the SLC is switched on. If its presence is detected, the
SLC will enable the muting function and if it is not present the SLC will ignore any request for muting. It is
important to note that if the muting indicator is connected when the SLC is already connected to the
power supply, it will not be recognised and the muting function will not be enabled. Once enabled, if
the LMS muting indicator develops a fault or is removed without first disconnecting the SLC's power supply,
it will signal an error with the muting light, as described in section 10.
To disable the muting function, the power supply must be turned on without the LMS muting indicator connected.
In brief: this function, present on all SLC s, is enabled and disabled by means of the following simple procedure:
- Disconnect the SLC's power supply.
- Connect the appropriate LMS muting indicator and the muting sensors (see section 6)
- Restore the SLC's power supply.
Bypass the muting function as follows.
- Disconnect the SLC's power supply.
- Disconnect the LMS muting indicator and the muting sensors (see section 6)
- Restore the SLC's power supply.
16 7-1 General information
7-3 Partial muting configuration
This feature is available only on the F3S-TGR-SBx-K3C and F3S-TGR-SBx-K4C models.
It gives the users the opportunity to mute only half of the light curtain. The other half remains active.
The configuration of this function is done by setting the internal dip switches 1 & 2.
For correct configuration and identification of dip switch and bypassed optics refer to the following drawing
and table.

7-4 Criteria for installation
Take adequate care when installing the muting sensors to prevent undesired requests for muting:
1. Wiring must be done correctly.
2. The muting sensors must recognise the whole length of the material (i.e. pallets, vehicles...).
3. The sensors must be arranged so that the material is also recognised if it has to be lifted for processing.
4. The effect of various transportation speeds in the field of muting on the overall duration of muting must
be taken into account, if any.
5. All the safety photocells and muting sensors must be arranged so that the previous material clears the
last muting sensor before the new material reaches the first sensors

Example of conveyor protection installation, which must allow a box to pass through but not a person. The
SLC S is connected to the control panel, and A1, A2, B1 and B2 are sensors used to enable muting. The
contacts for these sensors are controlled on the transceiver unit.
Sensors A1, A2, B1 and B2 can be optical, mechanical or proximity sensors etc., with closed contact in the
presence of the object to be detected.

7-4 Criteria for installation 19
Where:
D: minimum dimension of package that can cross the SLC.
D1: distance between muting actuator B and SLC.
It MUST be as short as possible.
Minimum distance allowable depends on the speed of conveyour, the response time of SLC and
response time of muting actuator.
D2: Distance between muting actuator A and muting actuator B.
It must be > 250mm
It also depends on the conveyour speed:
[cm] = v[m/s] * 3[s] * 100 > 25
d
max
It is necessary that this distance does not allow both sensors to be activated and thus muting if a person
goes through by accident.

• The TEST/RESTART button must be located so that the operator can see the protected area when
restarting, testing or overriding.
• The external illuminated indicator for muting override enabled must be located so that it can be seen
from all sides of operation.
• If the muting sensors are installed very close to the SLC, care must be taken that the receivers of the
sensors are mounted on the mirror side of the SLC in order to avoid interference.
• The system is protected against the possibility of faults due to damage to the wires; however we recommend laying the cables for all connections in order to avoid damage to the connection cables.
20 Section 7: Muting and override functions
7-5 Timing constants (muting function)
a) The muting request must take place with the correct timing sequence: the Muting A input must be en-
abled first and then the Muting B input. The request for the latter must be made within a maximum of 3
seconds and not before 30 ms (Tm) after enabling Muting A input. Otherwise the muting function will not
be enabled. An incorrect sequence on the muting inputs will not start the muting process.
b) Muting status can be maintained for an unlimited period of time as long as the muting signals are valid.

7-6 Timing constraints (for SLCs with postfix "-MTL" at the ordering code)
a) The muting request must take place with the correct timing sequence: the Muting A input must be en-
abled first and then the Muting B input. The request for the latter must be made within a maximum of 3
seconds and not before 30 ms after the enabling of the Muting A input. Otherwise the muting function
will not be enabled. An incorrect sequence on the muting inputs will not start the muting process.
b) There are 5 seconds maximum from the activation of muting to the package entrance in the protected
area by interrupting the SLC. If this time is exceeded, muting function will stop immediately.
c) As long as a package interrupts the protected area (at least one beam), the muting function is maintained
d) Muting status can be maintained for an unlimited period of time as long as the muting signals are valid.

7-7 Override
This function makes it possible to override or bypass the system. It is used to start up the machine after
the material has interrupted one or more of the SLC beams and to free the protected area from any material that is present in front of the SLC,
If a pallet has stopped in front of the protected area, it will not be possible to restart the conveyor belt be-
cause the SLC detects one or more beams have been interrupted and therefore will not close the outputs;
therefore the protected area cannot be cleared.
However, it can be cleared if the override function is enabled.
This function can be used for all SLCs with the LMS muting indicator connected, as described in section 3.
7-7-1 Enabling the Override Function
• Switch the appliance off.
• Switch it on again and press the test/restart button within 5 seconds, keeping it pressed for at least 5
seconds.
• The override function is now enabled. The LMS muting indicator flashes to signal the exclusion of the
SLC.
• The maximum duration of the override function is 120 seconds, after which the SLC is reset, even if the
button is kept pressed. Naturally, if the button is released before this, the override function will terminate
immediately.

Section 9: Routine controls and maintenance
! These checks are recommended and should be carried out on a regular basis by qualified personnel:
(1) Check that the SLC remains blocked by inserting an object that intercepts the beams along the entire
length of the protected area.
(2) Check via the opening of the TEST/RESTART contact, that the safety outputs open (red LED lit and
controller machinery stopped).
(3) Check that it is not possible to access the danger areas of the machinery from any area that is not pro-
tected and that the minimum distance between the dangerous areas and the SLC is no less than that
calculated as per formulas 4.1 and 4.2.)
(4) Check that it is not possible for a person to get between the SLC and the dangerous parts of the
machinery.
(5) Check that there is no external damage to the SLC and/or to the external electrical connections.
)Repeat checks 1 and 2 daily.
)Repeat checks 1 to 5 every 6 month maximum.
The interval between the above actions can be shorter depends on the individual application and the environmental conditions where the SLC is used.

Section 10: Final checks after installation
• Check that the area protected by the SLC is free of obstacles.
• Check that the safety outputs open correctly by interrupting the protection beams
(BREAK LED lit, machinery under control stops).
