3.1 Safety-Relevant Symbols
Danger!
This symbol warns of an immediate and present danger.
Failure to observe this warning may result in personal injury or even death.
Warning!
This symbol warns of a potential fault or hazard.
Failure to observe this warning may result in personal injury or extensive damage to
property.
Caution!
This symbol warns of a potential fault.
Failure to observe this warning may result in the device and/or any systems and plants
connected to it malfunctioning or giving out completely.
3.2 Intended use
Devices in the SLP...-R series of safety light grids comprise a receiver unit and a corresponding SLP...-T safety light barrier emitter. Together, this unit forms a multi-beam photoelectric protective device. The protection beams are formed between the emitters and
receivers. This system may only be used as intended as an active opto-electronic protective device (AOPD) to protect danger spots and danger areas from being accessed.
If used for any other purpose, the intended function of the system can no longer be guaranteed.
In addition to the notes in these instructions, the safety regulations, standards, and other
regulations concerning the application must be taken into consideration.
3.3 Application
Light grids from the SLP series can be used with 2-, 3-, and 4-beam access protections as
specified in EN ISO 13855. The beam spacings are fixed and meet the specifications outlined in the standard.
SLP light grids consist of an emitter and receiver.
The emitter and receiver for the SPL 8-2-A active column are incorporated into a single
housing. A deviation mirror SLP 8-2-M must be positioned on the opposite side to operate
the device.
A complete safety device includes a compatible control unit that controls the emitter, evaluates the receiver signals, and generates the resulting output signal (OSSD), as well as
an emitter and receiver.
Control units from the SB4... series can be used.
