Product Description
3Product Description
3.1Use and Application
Product description
The SLCS safety light curtain is noncontact electro-sensitive protective equipment
(ESPE) for securing danger zones and hazardous areas.
The SLCT safety light curtain consists of a transmitter unit and receiver unit. The
protection field is formed by infrared light beams sent from the transmitter unit to
the receiver unit. The offset between the individual light beams determines the
minimum obstacle size (14 mm, 30 mm, 60 mm, or 90 mm) that can be reliably
detected in the entire protection field range.
The transmitter unit contains a certain number of transmitter diodes that emit
protective beams. The number of transmitter diodes is determined by the
protection field height and the size of the obstacle. The function mode A/B
enables the use of 2 adjacent safety light curtains.
The receiver unit detects the transmission beams, controls the two OSSD (Output
Signal Switching Devices) safety outputs and carries out tests to ensure safety.
In addition to the displays behind the front panel of the receiver unit, there is also a
PNP output, which indicates operational readiness, a dirty lens, or fault states. If
an internal fault occurs in the receiver unit, this output switches on and off at a
frequency of 5 Hz. If an external fault occurs, this output switches on and off at a
frequency of 1 Hz. If the received signal is too weak (e.g., due to a dirty lens), the
output switches on and off at a frequency of 2.5 Hz.
The test input on the transmitter unit initiates a test sequence. Activate the input by
applying 24 VDC to the input for a defined time span.
The relay monitor (RM) and restart (RI) inputs allow monitoring of the switching
elements connected externally to the OSSDs and activation of the startup/restart
interlock function.

4.1Planning and Preparation
Warning!
Danger to life due to ineffective protective equipment
Improper or incorrect alignment, fixing, and connection to machine control can
impair the effectiveness of the protective function.
■
Note the applicable standards, guidelines, and legal regulations for the
equipment of machine and plants with protective equipment.
■
Position the protective equipment to prevent persons from being able to
reach or walk behind it, climb over or under, or otherwise bypass the
equipment in any way.
■
Use appropriate safety distances to take into account the response times
and lag times of the components in the safety chain.
■
Secure the protective equipment against manipulation or deliberate
deactivation.
Safety distance
A minimum distance must be maintained between the protection field and the
danger zone to ensure potentially dangerous movements are brought to a stop
before contact with a person is possible.
Figure 4.1Minimum distance between protection field and hazardous area
This distance is calculated from the lag time of the machine, the response time of
the safety system, and the speed of movement of the person entering the
hazardous area (ISO/EN 13855).

To comply with the necessary distances in the event that the protection field
spreads, please refer to Table 1 of ISO/EN 13855 to check the minimum distance
for a vertically positioned protection field. If you read the value 0 from the table,
you can determine the minimum distance with the following formula:
S = K x T + C

Installation
The switch-on time after beam interruption without a restart function is between
80 ms and 200 ms. The switch-on time depends on the number of protective
beams.
Notes on setting up safety light curtains
The protective equipment must be arranged in such a manner that it is impossible
to reach over, reach under, or walk behind the protection field. If the distance from
the protective equipment is too great, additional protective equipment must be put
in place (see illustration below).
Reaching over
The operator must not be able to reach over the protection field and into the
hazardous area (A: protection field, B: mechanical protection).
Walking behind
The machine operator must not be able to walk between the light curtain and into
the danger zone (A: protection field, B: mechanical protection).

4.2Mounting
Warning!
Danger to life due to ineffective protective equipment
Improper or incorrect alignment, fixing, and connection to machine control can
impair the effectiveness of the protective function.
■
Check the positioning of the protective equipment and ensure that it is not
possible for persons to reach or walk behind it, climb over, under or
otherwise bypass the protective equipment.
■
Check the safety distances and the lag times of the components in the
safety chain.
■
Check that the protective equipment cannot be easily manipulated or
disabled.
Various mounting materials for mounting to machines or in the field are available
for securing the safety light curtain. See chapter 8.6.
If you are planning to install a safety light curtain with an increased detection
range, we recommend using mounting profiles for floor mounting from our
accessories range. See chapter 8.6.7.
Mounting
1. Align the transmitter and receiver units so that the two units are parallel with
one another and at the same height.
2. Align the transmitter and receiver units parallel with one another.
3. The stability alarm indicator helps with correct alignment.
When installing the safety light curtain in a hazardous area, a minimum distance
must be maintained between the protection field and the hazardous area. This
distance will ensure that movements that pose a danger to a person can be
brought to a stop before that person comes into contact with the source of danger.
The distance is calculated from the lag time of the machine, the response time of
the safety light curtain, and the speed of movement of the person entering the
hazardous area (EN ISO 13855, EN ISO 13857).

Where K = 2000 mm/s and C = 0 mm, e.g., for SLCT14...
or C = 128 mm, e.g., for SLCT30...
the calculation formula for a distance S of 105 mm up to and including 500 mm is:
S = 2000 mm/s * (t

Note!
If S is greater than 500 mm, then K = 1600 mm/s must be used for calculations:
S = 1600 mm/s * (t

S must be at least 500 mm. Lower results must be corrected to a minimum
distance of 500 mm.

As S is > 500 mm, a smaller value can also be determined:
S = 1600 mm/s * (350 * 10-3 s) + 128 mm = 688 mm
The minimum distance between protection field and danger zone must therefore
be 688 mm. betragen.

If the safety light curtain is aligned in a horizontal position, the safety distance S
will also depend on the height of the light curtain above the floor. The maximum
height H must not exceed 1000 mm.
Danger!
Risk of death due to possibility to bypass the protective function
If H is greater than 300 mm, there is a risk that access underneath the safety light
curtain will be possible.
Where height H is greater than 300 mm, the possibility of access must be factored
into the risk analysis or additional barriers must be used.
The safety distance is calculated as follows:
S = 1600 mm/s * (t
+ t2) + (1200 mm - 0.4 H)

Danger!
Danger to life due to reflection
If you do not comply with the minimum distances, objects or persons cannot be
safely detected in the beams of the protective equipment.
■
When aligning the protective equipment, ensure that the minimum distance
to reflective objects or surfaces on all sides of the protection field is
observed.
The required minimum distances are listed in the table in this
documentation.
■
Do not operate the protective equipment if diffuse dispersive media are
present.
■
Perform test rod tests throughout the whole area of the protection field. See
chapter 5. See chapter 6.2.
Ensure that there are no reflective objects within the transmitter or receiver path
that could deflect the beams around an obstruction (EN 61496-2).

Danger!
Danger to life due to indirect dispersion of light during operation below the specific
minimum range
If you operate the protective equipment below its specified minimum range, this
can lead to reflection caused by reflective or dispersive objects outside the
specified minimum distances. The resulting malfunction can cause a failure to
detect persons or objects.
■
Observe the minimum range of the protective equipment that you are using.
■
Never operate the protective equipment below this specified minimum
range!
■
During mounting, also note that the conditions for light beam dispersion
may change during operation, e.g. due to moving machine parts or optically
dispersive media.
4.4Connection and Operating Mode Setting
Both the supply voltage and the system settings can be connected to the
transmitter unit and receiver unit. The following operating mode settings are also
available:
■
Startup interlock operating mode
■
Relay monitor operating mode
■
A/B mode operating mode
Startup interlock operating mode
Note!
When the input is open, the startup/restart interlock is activated.
The startup/restart interlock ensures that after the supply voltage has been turned
on, or after an interruption in the protection field, the operational readiness state is
indicated when the protection field is free. The start-up enable must then be
actuated so that the safety light curtain turns on the OSSDs.
The function can be activated or deactivated at the 8 pin connector of the receiver
SLCT.
An NC contact between the restart and +24 VDC input is required to trigger the
startup/restart interlock. The startup/restart interlock function does not work if the
restart input is bridged with the status/select output. If the input is not connected,
the startup/restart interlock is activated (see chapter 4.4.4).
Relay monitor operating mode
The relay monitor monitors the switching positions of the downstream output
relay. If the switching position of the relay does not match the signal from the
OSSDs, the system switches to safe mode. The status LED indicates that safe
mode is active.
22
271695 2017-12
SLCT* and SLCT*/35 safety light curtains
Installation
The function can be activated or deactivated at the 8 pin connector of the receiver
SLCT.
The two feedback contacts on the external switching elements must be placed
between 24 VDC and the relay monitor input in order to activate the relay monitor.
The relay monitor function is deactivated if the relay monitor input is bridged with
the status/select output.
Note!
An open relay monitor input results in a fault. The yellow indicator LED flashes at a
frequency of 1 Hz in case of a fault.
A/B mode operating mode
Operating mode A or operating mode B must be configured both on the
transmitter unit and on the receiver unit. The modes are used to prevent cross-talk
from adjacent SLCT safety light curtains.
4.4.1Signal outputs on the receiver unit
Status/Select RI-RM output
The output indicates the same states as the restart/status indicator.
This signal output indicates operational readiness and is active when the
protection field is free and startup enable can be activated in order to switch on
the OSSD. Internal or external faults and a dirty lens, are also signaled at this
output.
If an external fault occurs, the output switches on and off at a frequency of 1 Hz.
The following faults may be the cause:
■
Relay monitor faulty
■
Low supply voltage
■
Short or crossed circuits at the OSSD outputs and
■
Level change at the mode input during operation
Internal faults cause the output to switch on and off at a frequency of 5 Hz.
If the safety light curtain is not adjusted correctly or the front lenses are not clean,
the output switches on and off at a frequency of 2.5 Hz.
The output is also used to define the preset operating mode during startup.
Bypassing this output to the restart and/or relay monitor inputs deactivates the
relevant operating mode.
OSSDs
The receiver has two safe outputs, which are short circuit and cross circuit proof.
The OSSDs switch off as soon as a light beam is interrupted. Switching times, .

4.4.2Signal Inputs on the Transmitter Unit
Test input
Connect the test input to 24 VDC via an NC contact. The test function is triggered
by opening the contact.
Note!
During operation without a startup/restart interlock, the test time must be limited to
150 ms.
The test input is used to start a complete test of the safety light curtain. During this
process, the OSSDs are switched off and all system components are checked.
Error messages from the transmitter unit are acknowledged by initiating a test.
Note!
A complete test is also carried out when the operating voltage is switched on. This
also applies to the receiver unit, which does not have a test input.
The time constraints of the test signal must be maintained for a test to be
successful ( see Figure 4.5 on page 24). On an SLCT30-600 safety light
curtain, for example, the time between the test requirement and the response to
the OSSDs is a minimum of 6 ms and a maximum of 18 ms. A test input actuation
time of fewer than 0.02 s or more than 2.4 s sw itches the transmitter unit to a fault
state.
Note!
In case of a fault, a fault reset can be triggered by activating the input between
1.2 s and 2.4 s.
Figure 4.5Graphs of the OSSD switching states when initiating a test or reset
A/B mode input
If the input is open or connected to 0 V, the safety light curtain operates in mode A.
The inputs must be connected to the supply voltage 24 VDC to switch to mode B.
24
271695 2017-12
SLCT* and SLCT*/35 safety light curtains
Installation
After the supply voltage is switched on, the transmitter or receiver unit selects
mode A or mode B, depending on the applied voltage.
Note!
Make sure that the transmitter unit and receiver unit are operating in the same
mode.
If the level at the input changes during operation, this is identified as a fault and
the system switches to safe mode.
4.4.3Signal inputs on the receiver unit
Connect the restart (RI) and relay monitor inputs to the receiver unit with NC
contacts that switch 24 VDC. The function is triggered if the external control
contact is open for a defined period.
Restart (RI), startup/restart interlock input
The startup/restart interlock prevents the OSSDs from switching to ON after the
protection field is cleared or after the supply voltage is turned on when the
protection field is free. The safety function is only activated once the startup
enable button has been pressed.
An NC contact that switches the supply voltage must be connected to the input to
activate the safety function. If the start/restart interlock should be deactivated, the
input must be bridged with the status/select output. An open input also activates
the startup/restart interlock.
The input signal time is monitored and the actuation time should be active for
between 0.2 s to 1.2 s.
Note!
In the case of a fault, the fault can be reset by pressing and holding the startup
enable button for between 1.2 s and 2.4 s.
Danger!
Danger to life due to incorrectly positioned startup enable
If you install the button for the startup enable within the hazardous area or in a
position from which the hazardous area is not visible, this may result in the button
being pressed although personnel or objects are still located within the hazardous
area.
■
Mount the startup enable button in front of the hazardous area as follows:
• It must not be possible to activate the startup enable from within the
hazardous area, or to trigger a function that would mean the
protection field is interrupted by pressing the button.
• The hazardous area must be clearly visible from the location in
which the button is pressed.

SLCT* and SLCT*/35 safety light curtains
Installation
Relay monitor input
Auxiliary contacts on switching elements connected downstream of the OSSDs
can be connected to the relay monitor input. This allows these elements to be
monitored. Use NC contacts (see chapter 4.4.4). All monitored switching
elements must be connected in series. One end of this series connection must be
connected to the positive power supply and the other end to the relay monitor
input.
The feedback contacts on the external switching elements must guarantee a
reliable contact at a voltage of 20 VDC and a current of 5 mA.
Danger!
Danger to life due to electric shock
Insufficient separation distances can negate the safe separation of a SELV/PELV
supply of the protective equipment. This can lead to a particularly high voltage on
the device and present a danger to life.
The protection class III of the protective equipment and the necessary safe
separation distance must be taken into account when designing the insulation
coordination of the electrical installation or machine.
For more information, also see IEC 60204, IEC 60664 and IEC 61140 and the
relevant national regulations.
If the external switching element is not activated within 200 ms, this is identified as
a fault and safe mode is activated.
To disable the function, the input must be bridged with the status/select output. An
open input also activates the relay monitor function.
A/B mode input
If the input is open or connected to 0 V, the safety light curtain operates in mode A.
The inputs must be connected to the supply voltage 24 VDC to switch to mode B.
After the supply voltage is switched on, the transmitter or receiver selects mode A
or mode B, depending on the applied voltage. Make sure that the transmitter and
receiver are operating in the same mode.
If the level at the input changes during operation, this is identified as a fault and
the system switches to safe mode.

5.1Functional Testing
Check the function of the transmitter and receiver
1. Check whether the transmitter and receiver are aligned parallel to one another
and are at the same height.
2. Switch on the safety light curtain when the protection field is clear.
3. Adjust the transmitter and receiver so that the reception signal exceeds the
functional reserve.
If the reception signal falls below the functional reserve, the yellow
restart/status LED on the receiver flashes.
4. Check whether the two OSSD outputs are switching on correctly. The Ready to start message appears unless this operating mode is deactivated by an
external circuit.
5. Use the supplied test rod to test the detection capability of the safety light
curtain to identify any detection gaps caused by reflective surfaces. (see
chapter 8.6.13).
6. Check the effectiveness of the switch-off function of the safety light curtain
and the response time of the safety function when a beam is interrupted.
7. If you are using the startup/restart interlock operating mode, test whether the
lock is enabled when the power is turned on and after the protection field is
interrupted.
Warning!
Danger to life due to unexpected machine startup if the startup/restart interlock is
incorrectly set up
If the startup/restart interlock does not function correctly when the power is
switched on and after the protection field is interrupted, this can lead to an
unexpected dangerous startup of the machine.
Before commissioning the machine, check whether the startup/restart interlock is
functioning correctly when the power is connected and following interruption of
the protection field.
8. Check the function of the test input when the protection field is clear by
applying 24 V to the test input.
The OSSDs switch off and switch the OSSDs back on again after the test
has been completed successfully.
If the function "Relay monitor" is activated, the monitored switching elements
following the OSSDs accordingly.

Warning!
Danger to life due to interference from multiple photoelectric protective devices
If you use several pieces of photoelectric protective equipment in your plant, these
may interfere with each other if positioned too close together. The resulting
malfunction may result in a failure to detect persons or objects, or in OSSDs
switching off unintentionally.
■
When using multiple items of photoelectric protective equipment, ensure
during the planning stage and before commissioning that cross-talk is
prevented.
■
Optically shield the protective equipment devices from each other, if
necessary using structural methods.
■
Prevent optically active objects such as lenses or filters from entering the
beam path.
■
Ensure that structural methods cannot subsequently become ineffective.

Commissioning
When operating two safety light curtains with different modes A and B, another
arrangement is possible by positioning the transmitter units and receiver units
directly on top of each other. The connector plugs extend outwards in the
opposite direction. The SLCT30 provides a continuous protection field that is
divided into 2 security areas as a special feature. Suitable devices for head-tohead mounting: standard detection range, resolution 30 mm, 60 mm, or 90 mm
and protection field height of maximum 1200 mm per strip. The height of the
continuous protection field can therefore reach a maximum of 2400 mm.
Note!
This layout is not available for the device option with increased detection range
(SLCT*/35).

Maintenance and Repair
6Maintenance and Repair
6.1Maintenance
The safety light curtain is maintenance free.
The prescribed periodic checks must be carried out and documented. The
checks to determine whether the components are fitted securely and whether the
optical surfaces are clean are important.
See chapter 6.2
Note!
Use a soft, lint-free cloth to clean the surfaces and to cover the lenses. Only use
alcohol or mineral spirits as cleaning fluids. Avoid the use of any other cleaning
agents, as they may damage or impair the lens surfaces.
6.2Periodic Checks
The test intervals and scope of the periodic checks are determined according to
requirements.
Record the results of periodic check in accordance with the applicable
regulations.
Daily Check
1. Secure the machine or plant against unintentional startup before and during
the checks.
2. Make sure the protection field is clear.
3. Activate the startup enable.
4. Interrupt the protection field inside the protection field range using the test
rod. A test rod with a suitable obstacle size must be used.
5. Check the entire protection field at several points parallel to the transmitter or
receiver, in particular in front of the transmitter and receiver and in the center
between the transmitter and receiver, to find any detection gaps caused by
reflective surfaces.
The OSSD outputs switch off.
6. Slowly move the test rod through the protection field while watching the
displays on the receiver:
If the startup/restart interlock is activated: the yellow startup readiness
display does not light up.
If the startup/restart interlock is deactivated: the green status indicator of the
OSSD display does not light up.

Warning!
Danger to life due to missing safety functions
If the protective equipment is not taken into account when checking the safety
functions of the whole plant, it is possible that it may no longer function safely
together with the other components.
■
The protective equipment must be included in any general checks on
machine safety functions.
■
This includes checking for proper alignment and installation.
■
In addition, adherence to the required response times must be tested.
6.3Repairs
The device must not be repaired, changed, or manipulated. In case of failure,
always replace the device with an original device.
Danger!
Danger to life from using damaged or repaired devices.
Using a defective or repaired device can compromise its function and its electrical
safety.
■
Do not use a damaged or polluted device.
■

Warning!
Danger to life due to an absence of safety functions in the event of dangerous
failure
If a device has failed so dangerously that one or more safety functions can no
longer be guaranteed, the operational safety of the affected machine or plant is
impaired as a consequence.
■
Decommission the affected machine or plant and the sensor system and
secure them to prevent recommissioning.
■
Replace the defective device with an original device from Pepperl+Fuchs.
■
Send the defective device to Pepperl+Fuchs with a description of the fault.
Warning!
Danger to life as the result of an absence of functional inspections
If you resolve a fault and do not subsequently check whether the device and the
protective function it enables are functioning correctly, this can prevent the
protective equipment from working.
■
After resolving the error, carry out a functional inspection to ensure that the
protective equipment is functioning again correctly.
■
Repeat the test steps described for commissioning. See chapter 5.
If a fault occurs, press the test contact (Reset). The receiver clears the fault state
by performing a system reset.
If this process does not correct the fault, attempt to return to normal mode by
switching off the power supply for at least 1 second, then switching it back on
again.

Available Mounting Brackets
The mounting brackets enable light curtains and accessories to be mounted. A
complete mounting bracket is required to mount a transmitter and a receiver. The
mounting brackets are also suitable as a corner profile if two independently acting
light curtains are to be installed. For compatible mounting brackets, use the
search term SLCT-M *. on www.pepperl+fuchs.com.
8.6.1Mounting Aid OMH-SLCT-01
Model number: OMH-SLCT-01
The transmitters/receivers can be secured using mounting aids that grip the
dovetail guide. Dovetail guides are located on three sides of the profile. When
mounting and aligning the unit, avoid subjecting the profile to mechanical tension.
A minimum of two mounting aids must be used to secure the transmitter and
receiver unit. If vibrations or shocks are expected, we recommend attaching
mounting aids at intervals of 500 mm.
8.6.2Mounting Aid OMH-SLCT-02
Model number: OMH-SLCT-02
Figure 8.4Dimensional drawing and assembly of the mounting aids OMH-SLCT-0 1 and
OMH-SLCT-02
The OMH-SLCT-02 mounting aid is used as a fixed bearing and secures the
position of the light curtain in the event of thermal expansion, vibration, or shock.

8.6.3Mounting brackets OMH-SLCT-03 and OMH-SLCT-04
Model number (fixed bearing): OMH-SLCT-03
Model number (movable bearing): OMH-SLCT-04
The longer mounting aid OMH-SLCT-03 has a higher clamping force than the
shorter mounting aid OMH-SLCT-04 and is therefore the preferred option for
assuming the function of the fixed bearing. A minimum of one fixed bearing and
one movable bearing is required to mount the device. If more than two mounting
aids are required for reasons of stability, the use of additional movable bearings is
recommended. If vibrations or shocks are expected, we recommend attaching
mounting aids at intervals of 500 mm.
The mounting aid OMH-SLCT-03 can also be used to connect 2 safety light
curtains or safety light grids. If the mounting aid is to be used for this application,
the metal bracket should be removed.

Order code: AA-SLCT-01
The transmitter and receiver should always be aligned at the same height in
parallel to one another. The AA-SLCT-01 alignment aid with bubble level assists
the perpendicular alignment of the profile. The AA-SLCT-01 alignment aid is
simply clipped into the groove on the side of the profile.

8.6.13Test rod
Order designation: TR 14/30/50/60
The detection capability of a safety light curtain should be checked regularly using
a test rod. The test rod must be kept in the same location as the safety light
curtain. At regular prescribed intervals, the protection field must be tested at
different points over its entire height (in front of the transmitter and receivers and in
the center between the transmitter and receiver) and the results must be
documented.
The receiver of every safety light curtain comes with a test rod 230 mm in length.
The rod is suitable for checking the detection capability of light curtains with
different resolutions.
