CAUTION
ULISSE UNC series photocells
WITHOUT THE CONTROL UNITSWITHOUT THE CONTROL UNITS
AU S3, AU S-TWIN or AU S3M2AU S3, AU S-TWIN or AU S3M2
cannot be used as safety devices for the protection of people exposed to hazardous machines or systems.
Accordingly, REER will not be liable for any consequences arising from the use of its ULISSE photocells without the relative control units, as this use does not meet the requirements of EC machine directive 89/392.
WARNINGSWARNINGS
The ULISSE UNC safety system is composed of one or two pairs of photocells connected either to the standard control unit (AU S3) or to the unit with built-in muting function (AU S3M2); the system can be composed of one, two, three or four pairs of photocells connected to the control unit AU S-TWIN.
To understand the operation of these devices we recommend reading a few sections of the relative installation manuals; in particular:

GENERALGENERAL
ULISSE UNC is a barrier type photocell consisting of a separate emitter and a receiver. Whether connected to the control units, AU S3, AU S-TWIN, or to the control unit with
built-in muting function, AU S3M2, ULISSE UNC represents a type 2 safety system with one, two, three or four (AU S-TWIN) beams, suitable for the protection against accidents of people exposed to hazards on dangerous machinery. The metal container and the glass lenses make the product extremely sturdy and immune to the electrostatic attraction of dust, i.e., ideally suited for use in the textile processing plants.
The switching of the output relays of the control unit upon the interception of the beam stops the movement of machine tools with mechanical moving parts, such as, for instance:
Looms;
Assembly lines;
Automated industrial warehousing systems;
Robotised areas;
Handling, palletising/de-palletising systems.

OPERATIONOPERATION
The ULISSE UNC safety system may consist of one two, three or four emitter/receiver pairs connected to a control unit. This system is able to detect the passage of a person’s entire body and cannot be used for the protection of arms and hands.
Whenever the optical path of the infrared beam linking the emitter to the receiver is totally interrupted, the receiver cuts off the output signal. Upon recognising this condition, the control unit immediately de-energises its outputs thereby preventing the coming into being of a hazard condition.
When the beam is released, the system restart depends on the positive outcome of the test function. The test is conducted as follows:
the control unit turns off the emitter;
the receiver detects the interruption of the beam and cuts off the output signal;
the control unit checks the adequacy of the reaction time of the receiver, the outputs of
the latter and the external relays, if any are used.
This test is controlled externally, by pressing a special test button.

INSTALLATIONINSTALLATION
The ULISSE UNC photocell used in conjunction with control unit AU S3, AU S-TWIN or AU S3M2 represents an electro-sensitive type 2 protection system.
As provided for in the standard IEC 61496-1/2 (formerly prEN50100) in a type 2 safety device, faults or malfunctioning must be detected during the test stage.
In a type 2 safety device, the test is mandatory, at least at power on of the machine. If the test is successful, the output relays are then energized.
Before installing the ULISSE UNC safety system, make sure that:Before installing the ULISSE UNC safety system, make sure that:

Before positioning the system, take into consideration the following general provisions:
Make sure that the temperatures of the environments in which the system is installed are
compatible with the temperature operating parameters given in the technical data table (page 5).
Do not place the emitter or the receiver in the proximity of high-intensity or blinking
light sources.
Place the control unit in an environment whose degree of protection is at least IP54. Special environmental conditions may affect the sensing efficiency of the photoelectric
device. If the system is installed in places subject to sudden temperature variations, it is
indispensable to adopt the customary measures to prevent the formation of condensate on the lenses, as this might impair their detection capabilities.

SAFETY DISTANCE AND POSITIONINGSAFETY DISTANCE AND POSITIONING
The photocell must be installed at a distance greater than or equal to the minimum safety distance, S, so that no hazardous point can be reached until the hazardous action of the machine has stopped (fig. 2).
Figure Figure 22
With reference to the proposed European standard prEN999, the minimum safety distance, S, must be calculated through the following formula:
S = K(tb + tu + t1 ) + C
where:
SS is the minimum safety distance expressed in mm. KK is the speed of approach of the body to the hazardous zone in mm/sec. tb+ tutb+ tu is the total reaction time of the sensor plus the control unit ( 31ms). t1t1 is the reaction time of the machine in seconds, i.e., the time it takes for the machine to
stop the hazardous action from the time the control unit transmits the stop signal through the opening of its output circuit.
CC is an additional distance in mm

Single beam protection.
If the risk analysis permits the use of a single beam to detect the presence of a person intercepting the beam with his/her body as he/she approaches the hazardous area in a standing position (fig. 3), determine the minimum safety distance with the aid of the following formula:
S = 1600(tb + tu + t1) + 1200
In this case we recommend arranging the equipment so that the beam will run parallel to the reference plane, G, at a height H=750mm (fig. 3).
When using a single beam system, it is necessary to examine closely the risk of people intruding into the hazardous area without intercepting the beam.
Figure Figure 33
Figure Figure 44
Double beam protection.
When using two ULISSE UNC photocells one on top of the other so that the beams are arranged one on top of the other, it becomes possible to set up a double beam protective system.
In these conditions, the minimum safety distance must be determined through the following formula:
S = 1600(tb + tu + t1) + 850
The distances, H, of the beams from the reference plane G, are 400mm and 900mm, respectively (fig. 4).

Page 10
Distance from reflecting surfaces.
Reflecting surfaces located next to the photocell(s) may cause spurious reflections that would close the optical path between the emitter and the receiver and inhibit the system's detection capability (fig. 5).
Figure Figure 55
Having completed the installation, check for the presence of reflecting surfaces which might intercept the beam, first in the centre and then in the proximity of the emitter and the receiver. If any object is intercepted, the green led located on the receiver (fig. 1) must never light up.
Multiple systems.
When using 2, 3 or 4 pairs of ULISSE UNC photocells arranged next to or on top of each other in order to prevent them from mutually interfering it is necessary to arrange the elements so that the beam emitted by one system is received only by the respective receiver (fig. 6).
The emitter of one pair must not result in front of the receiver of the other pairs.The emitter of one pair must not result in front of the receiver of the other pairs.

Electrical connections
For the electrical connections, ULISSE UNC photocells are fitted with a 3 pin male connector (fig. 7). It is possible to use 5 m cables equipped with M8 female connector, either straight or at 90°, supplied on request.
Make the connections according
to the diagrams given in pages 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16.
It is important to take into account
the following indications:
Before making the connections,
make sure that the mains voltage value corresponds to the rating given in the technical data.
Figure Figure 77
±20% power supply (e.g. through an isolating transformer conforming to EN 60742).
Connector pin No. 3 is electrically connected to the metal case of the photocell. If the
photocell has to be linked to a metal part of the machine which is connected to the ground, the return line of the 24 Vdc voltage distribution system has to be connected to ground too. If this is not so, the photocell case must be insulated from the metal part of the machine.
For connections of over 50m in length, use cables with cross section of 1mm2.
The power line for the barrier and the control unit should be separate from the lines
powering the other electrically operated devices (electric motors, inverters, frequency variators) or other possible sources of noise.
Connect the control unit to the ground socket.
The cables linking the control unit and the photocell, the connection for the test
command and any connections relating to system control parts (e.g. self-test output) must follow a different path with respect to the power cables.
Photocells and control unit must
be supplied with PELV type 24Vdc

Mechanical installation and optical alignment
The emitter and the receiver must be installed one in front of the other at a distance not to exceed the effective capacity of the equipment.
A perfect alignment between the emitter and the receiver is essential for the flawless operation of this device. This operation is facilitated by the presence of a green indicator LED on the receiver.
CHECKS AND MAINTENANCE.CHECKS AND MAINTENANCE.
The ULISSE UNC photocell must be used within the working parameters given in the technical data. At the beginning of each work shift, or at power up, it is necessary to check the functionality of the photocell through the following procedure: intercept the beam with a cylinder shaped opaque object with a diameter of 8 mm to be placed at the centre of the area between the emitter and the receiver, and then in the proximity of both, and make sure that in each of these cases, the green led “free area light” on the receiver goes off, while at the same time the control unit output is switched.
The ULISSE UNC photocell has no specific maintenance requirement; at all events, we recommend cleaning the lenses of the emitter and the receiver at regular intervals, so as to prevent an excessive quantity of dust from building up and hampering the optical beam transmission and reception functions, as this may result in the failure of the equipment and the machine connected to it.
Do not use abrasive or corrosive products, or solvents or alcohol which might damage the parts to be cleaned.
OPERATING FAULTS.OPERATING FAULTS.
If any operating faults persist even if the system is turned off and on, check the conditions of the electrical connections.
Furthermore, make sure that the emitter and the receiver are correctly aligned, and the lenses are perfectly clean. If these measures are not sufficient to restore correct system operation, send the equipment to our laboratories, complete with all its parts, specifying clearly:
part number;
date of installation;
hours of operation;
type of installation;
fault observed.
