Product Description
3 Product Description
3.1 Use and Application
Product description
The SLCT 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 2 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.

Product Description
3.3 Interfaces and Connections
The electrical connections of the safety light curtain are made using M12 plug-in
connectors. The transmitter has a 4-pin connector and the receiver an 8-pin plugin connector.
Connect the power supply and, depending on the application, the test signal to
the transmitter unit. The mode can also be selected via the A/B mode input.
Connect the power supply, the fail-safe outputs (OSSD), the status/select output
and the inputs for the startup enable, relay monitor and A/B mode to the receiver
unit.
The housing profile is connected internally with approx. 2.3 MOhm// 33 nF each at
+24 V and 0 V. Internal varistors limit any surges that occur at approx. 85 V. A
separate grounding or connection between the housing and functional ground is
not required.

4.1 Planning 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.
12-EN
Figure 4.1 Minimum 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).
271695 2020-02
SLCT* and SLCT*/35 safety light curtains
EN
Installation
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
Where, for a protection field aligned vertically to the hazardous area:
S Minimum safety distance in mm,
K Constant in mm/s for the speed of approach, based on the detection
T Total response time of the protective equipment in s (T = t1 +t2)

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).

4.2 Mounting
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).
