GuardShield™ PAC Safety Light Curtain Installation Instructions
IMPORTANT
These installation instructions are designed
to address the technical personnel of the
machine manufacturer and or the installer of
the safety system regarding the proper
mounting, configuration, electrical
installation, commissioning, operation and
maintenance of the GuardShield safety light
curtain.
These installation instructions do not provide
instruction for the operation of machinery to
which the GuardShield safety light curtain is,
or will be, integrated. Only qualified
personnel should install this equipment.
Additional measures may be necessary to
ensure that the ESPE does not fail to danger
when other forms of light radiation are
present in a particular application (i.e., use of
cableless control devices on cranes, radiation
from weld spatter or effects from strobe
lights).
GuardShield PAC Safety Light Curtain
Introduction
The GuardShield PAC safety light curtain is a multiple beam,
presence sensing device designed for perimeter or access
detection around hazardous machinery or equipment The
GuardShield PAC is a Type 4 AOPD per IEC 61496. It is a self
contained, optically synchronized, two box (transmitter and
receiver) safety light curtain with dip switch selectable operating
modes.
The GuardShield PAC safety light curtain consists of a nonmatched pair of optic units, i.e., transmitter and receiver. The
transmitter and receiver operate on +24V DC. The maximum
distance between transmitter and receiver is referred to as the
protective field width or range. The protective field height is the
distance between the first and last beam in the device.
The transmitter emits sequential pulses of infrared light which are
received and processed by the GuardShield PAC receiver. The
synchronization of the timing of the emission and reception of
infrared light pulses is accomplished optically by the first beam
adjacent to the GuardShield PAC status LEDs. This beam is
referred to as the synchronization beam. Because the
GuardShield PAC transmitter and receiver are optically
synchronized, no electrical connection is required between the
transmitter and receiver.
The GuardShield PAC receiver has two safety outputs, Output
Signal Switching Devices (OSSDs) and one nonsafety auxiliary
output. When the GuardShield PAC transmitter and receiver are
properly powered and aligned, all OSSDs are current sourcing
+24V DC with a switching capacity of 500mA. The two safety
OSSDs are cross monitored and short-circuit protected.
Interruption of the sensing field causes the receiver to switch the
sourced current OFF (0V DC).
Restoring the GuardShield PAC sensing field, (in Guard only
configuration) causes all outputs (OSSDs) to switch to the active
high state (resume current sourcing +24V DC with a switching
capacity of 500mA).
The GuardShield PAC is offered in a number of configurations
based on a standard Type 4 safety light curtain platform.
In addition to the standard GuardShield PAC, the GuardShield PAC
is offered with an integrated laser alignment system or with an
integrated laser alignment system with connectivity to
ArmorBlock Guard I/O. The ArmorBlock Guard I/O optim allows
network connectivity providing OSSDs over a DeviceNet™ or
DeviceNet safety network. The ArmorBlock™ Guard I/O option is
only available in GuardShield PACs with integrated laser
alignment systems.
Selectable functions of the GuardShield PAC and GuardShield PAC
with integrated laser alignment are:
•Beam coding
• EDM (External Device Monitoring)
•Start interlock
•Restart interlock

Range of Uses of the Device
The GuardShield PAC safety light curtain is classified as electrosensitive protective equipment (ESPE). The maximum protective
field width is 16m (52.5ft) for the GuardShield PAC.
The device is a Type 4 ESPE as defined by IEC 61496-1 and CLC/TS
61496-2 and is therefore allowed for use with controls in safety
category Type 4 in compliance with EN ISO 13849, SIL CL3 in
accordance with EN 62061 or up to PLe in accordance with ENISO
13849. The device is suitable for:
• Hazardous area protection
• Access protection
Access to the hazardous point must be allowed only through the
protective field. The machine/system is not allowed to start as
long as personnel are within the hazardous area. Refer to the
“Examples of Range of Use” on page 6 for an illustration of the
protection modes.
The GuardShield PAC is intended as a perimeter or access
protection device for a whole body detection and can not be used
in horizontial detection applications as it may be possible for
personnel to step between the beams and access the hazard
without being detected.
Depending on the application, mechanical protection devices
may be required in addition to the safety light curtain.
IMPORTANT
GuardShield PAC Laser Alignment
The laser light source in the integrated laser alignment system of
the GuardShield PAC light curtains is a Class 1, eye safe laser diode

Safety Notes
Please observe the following items in order to
ensure the proper and safe use of the
GuardShield safety light curtain.
This Class 1, eye safe laser is switched from a low output power
state to a high output power state (and back again) by means of
control circuitry which detects reflected laser light from a
temporary blockage of the emitted laser light. This is most
commonly accomplished by a person’s finger placed over the
laser overlay window. There is also an automatic shutdown
feature that switches the laser diode from the high power state to
the low power state, if there is no finger or other interruption
detected for a period of five minutes.
During the high output mode of operation, the laser is pulsed at a
rate of approximately 2 Hz in order to facilitate finger detection in
high ambient light conditions.

GuardShield Light Curtain
Principle of Operation
The GuardShield PAC safety light curtain consists of a
nonmatched pair of optic units, i.e. transmitter and receiver with
the same number of beams and spacings. The transmitter and
receiver operate on +24V DC. The maximum distance between
the transmitter and receiver is referred to as the protective field
width or range. The protective field height is the distance
between the first beam and the last beam in the device.
The transmitter emits sequential pulses of infrared light, which
are received and processed by the GuardShield PAC receiver. The
synchronization of the timing of the emission and reception of
infrared light pulses is accomplished optically by the first beam
adjacent to the GuardShield PAC’s status LEDs. This beam is
referred to as the synchronization beam. Because the GuardShield
PAC’s transmitter and receiver are optically synchronized, no
electrical connection is required between the transmitter and
receiver.
The GuardShield PAC’s receiver has two safety outputs, OSSDs
(Output Signal Switching Devices) and one nonsafety auxiliary
output. When the GuardShield PAC’s transmitter and receiver are
properly powered and aligned, all OSSDs are current sourcing
+24V DC with a switching capacity of 500mA. The two safety
OSSDs are cross monitored and short-circuit protected.
Interruption of the sensing field causes the Receiver to switch the
sourced current Off (0V DC).
Restoring the GuardShield PAC’s sensing field, (in Guard only
configuration) causes all outputs (OSSDs) to switch to the active
high state (resume current sourcing +24V DC with a switching
capacity of 500mA).
The GuardShield PAC Light Curtain
The GuardShield PAC safety light curtain consists of a transmitter
and a receiver.
Figure 1: Components of the GuardShield PAC
The individual beams of the GuardShield PAC are identified by
markings on the housings.
The width of the protective field is derived from the length of the
light path between sender and receiver and must not exceed the
maximum rated width of the protective field 16m (52.5ft).
The GuardShield PAC is also offered with an integrated laser
alignment system which has a constantly powered Class 1, eye
safe laser located in the top of the GuardShield PAC transmitter
and in the bottom of the GuardShield PAC receiver. Each Class 1,
eye safe laser emits a low level of visible light. Simply blocking this
light below the finger symbol causes the light to be reflected back
to a photo sensor which changes the condition of the laser light. If
this light is at a low level, interrupting it will cause the laser to emit
a highly visible level of light. Interrupting the visible light in the
same location will cause the laser to switch to a low level of
emission. The emission of visible light will also change to a low
level after five minutes of activation.
Across from each laser is a target used to help with the alignment
of the GuardShield PAC pair. Positioning the visible light in the
center of the top and bottom targets will position the
GuardShield PAC pair for optimal alignment.

The protective system must be tested for
proper operation after each and every
change to the configuration.
Start interlock is not available in GuardShield
PAC light curtains with ArmorBlock Guard I/O
connectivity.
It is not possible to have both “Start Interlock”
and “Restart Interlock” configured at the
same time in the GuardShield PAC.
Configuring “Restart Interlock” behaves the
same as “Start Interlock” at power up, i.e., a
reset of the system is required at power up.
Restart interlock should always be configured
for the GuardShield PAC light curtains. The
reset switch should be located outside of the
work cell and positioned so that a clear view
of the work cell is possible.
Restart interlock is not available in
GuardShield PAC light curtains with
ArmorBlock Guard I/O connectivity. this
functionality must be configured and
through the safety PLC.
EDM is not available in GuardShield PAC light
curtains with ArmorBlock Guard
I/O connectivity.
Examples of Range of Use
The GuardShield PAC safety light curtain operates as a proper
protective device only if the following conditions are met:
• The control of the machine must be electrical.
• The controlled machine must be able to be stopped any
where in the machines stroke or cycle.
• The transmitter and receiver must be mounted such that
access to the hazard is only through the light curtain’s
protective field.
• The restart button must be located outside the hazardous
area such that it cannot be operated by a person working
inside the hazardous area.
• The statutory and local rules and regulations must be
observed when installing and using the device.
Safety Functions
The GuardShield PAC safety light curtain offers a variety of
functions, which are integral to the system.
Operating modes, functions and features of the GuardShield PAC
system are activated through dip switch settings.
IMPORTANT
Guard Only
When in the guard only mode of operation, the light curtain
operates as an on/off device, meaning the OSSD outputs switch
off/on according to an obstruction or clearing of the detection
field. The GuardShield PAC is shipped from the factory in the
guard only mode.
Start Interlock
The start interlock prevents the OSSD outputs from switching to
ON state after power up of the system with the protective field
unobstructed. A manual reset of the system is required for the
GuardShield PAC to enter the ON state.
This can be accomplished by one of two methods.
• Actuation of a momentary N.O. push button
• Interruption and restoration of the protective field within
one second.
Activation of this mode of operation and selection of the resetting
method is through dip-switch settings. Indication of this mode of
operation is through illumination of a yellow LED on the
GuardShield PAC’s receiver.
IMPORTANT
Restart Interlock
The restart interlock mode of operation prevents the OSSD
outputs from switching to ON after interruption and clearance of
the protective field. A manual reset of the GuardShield PAC
6
Original instructions
system is required. Resetting of the system is accomplished
through a momentary N.O. push button or key switch.
Configuration and activation of this mode of operation is through
dip-switch settings. The Restart Interlock mode is indicated by the
illumination of a yellow LED on the GuardShield PAC’s receiver.
IMPORTANT
External Device Monitoring (EDM) or Machine
Primary Control Element (MPCE) Monitoring
The External Device monitoring function (EDM) is an input signal
to the GuardShield receiver from the Final Switching Device (FSD),
usually relay contactors, which control the hazardous motion of
equipment or machinery. The EDM circuit is required to see a
change of state of the FSD within 300ms of the restoration of the
GuardShield’s sensing field after its interruption. Detection of an
unsafe condition such as a welded contact causes the
GuardShield receiver to go to a lockout condition (OSSDs OFF).
The activation and use of this GuardShield functionality usually
allows the GuardShield’s OSSDs to be connected directly to a
machine’s FSD and attain a Category 4 safety circuit. It is necessary
to have the EDM circuit connected to two separate FSDs which
are wired in series to attain the Category 4 rating. Activation of
this functionality is accomplished by setting the EDM dipswitch
no. three to the OFF position and then performing the “Teach”
function. It is also necessary to connect the GuardShield receiver’s
EDM (yellow) wire to a N.C. output from the FSD.
IMPORTANT
System Testing
The GuardShield PAC performs a complete system self-test at
power up and switches to the ON state if the system is properly
aligned and the protective field is unobstructed and the start/
restart interlock modes of operation are deactivated.
External Test (Machine Test Signal)
A test cycle of the system can be triggered by an external test
signal to the GuardShield PAC’s transmitter. Supplying or
removing a signal (+24V DC) via a N.C. or N.O. switch at the test
input deactivates the transmitter for the duration of the test
signal, simulating an interruption of the protective sensing field.

Beam Coding
If several safety light curtains are operating in close proximity to
one another, it is possible that the transmitter’s infrared light from
one GuardShield PAC system is “seen” by another GuardShield
PAC system’s receiver. This would cause a “nuisance” stop. To
prevent this optical interference, the GuardShield PAC has the
ability to have the transmitter generate different beam patterns,
which is referred to as “Beam coding.” Selection and activation of
beam coding is accomplished through dip-switch settings in both
the transmitter and receiver.
The following settings are available in the GuardShield PAC safety
light curtain; noncoded and coded.
IMPORTANT
Applications and Application Requirements
Figure 2 is an example of a GuardShield PAC three-beam safety
light curtain used as an opto-electronic fence with corner mirror
columns.
Figure 3 is an example of a GuardShield PAC three beam with four
retroreflective sensors and an external muting module.
Figure 2: GuardShield PAC three beam with corner mirror columns
Applications
The GuardShield PAC multi-beam safety light curtain may be used
as an opto-electronic fence; detecting the presence of personnel
as they pass through the sensing field or for safeguarding access
to a hazardous area or machine process. Used in combination
with corner mirrors, the GuardShield PAC multi-beam safety light
curtains provide multiple-side access detection.
When using corner mirrors to protect multiple sides of a machine
or work cell, the GuardShield PAC with integrated laser alignment
is the preferred solution. Activation of visible laser light allows
positioning and adjustment of the transmitter, receiver and
corner mirrors.
A typical system configuration for access detection to a hazardous
area or machine process is to have the GuardShield PAC multibeam safety light curtain connected to an external module along
with two or four sensors. The external module allows material to
pass through the GuardShield PAC multi-beam’s sensing field
without stopping the machine or equipment as long as the
muting conditions are met. As the material is moving through the
process, the GuardShield PAC multi-beam’s sensing field is
interrupted and the outputs switch to the OFF state. However, if
the muting module sensors are interrupted with the proper
timing, the module disregards the GuardShield PAC multi-beam’s
outputs and remains in the ON condition, allowing the machinery
or equipment to continue operation.
If the muting sensors are not interrupted and maintained in the
required timing and or sequence, the muting module will switch
OFF when the GuardShield PAC multi-beam’s sensing field is
interrupted.
Figure 3: GuardShield PAC three beam with muting module
Application Requirements
The protective functions of the PAC can only be used properly
when the following conditions are satisfied:
• The machine or installation must be controlled electrically.
• It must be possible to stop hazardous machine movement.
• The PAC must be installed so that entry into the danger
zone interrupts one or more of the light beams.
The light beam diameter of 23 mm (0.90 in.) must be fully
covered, to assure a change in state of outputs.
Release can only be achieved with the use of a restart switch.
The restart switch must be located such that it cannot be pressed
from inside the danger zone.
The GuardShield PAC should be mounted such that upon
interruption of the light beam, the dangerous location can only
be reached if the dangerous condition of the machine has been
stopped. The requirement for this is that there is a proper safety

distance between the light beams and the nearest point of
danger.
Persons situated inside the danger zone, but outside the
protection field are not recognized. It must therefore be ensured
that a dangerous condition is only possible when there is nobody
present in the danger zone.
The relevant legal and government regulations are to be
complied with the implementation of protection installations.
These regulations vary, depending on areas of application.
Corner Mirrors and Mounting Columns
The GuardShield two- and three-beam PACs can be used with one
or two corner mirrors to provide two- or three-sided protection.
The use of each corner mirror reduces the maximum range of the
GuardShield PAC by at least 10% per mirror.
It is possible to use full length corner mirrors (440L-AM075 series,
440L-AM125 series).
Rockwell also offers pedestal floor mounting stands (440LAMSTD) which will accommodate the mounting of the
GuardShield two- or three-beam PAC with the appropriate full
length corner or mirror column mirrors.

Determining Stop Time: The measurement of
stopping time (Ts) must include the stopping
times of all devices in the stop circuit. Not
including all device and control system
elements when calculating Ts will result in an
inaccurate safety distance calculation.

GuardShield™ PAC Safety Light Curtain Installation Instructions
IMPORTANT
Determining the Safety Distance
The light curtain must be mounted with proper safety distance
• From the point of danger
• From reflecting surfaces
US Safety Distance Formula
This distance, referred to as the safety distance, must be properly
calculated prior to mounting the light curtains around the
machinery. Failure to properly calculate this safety distance may
result in operator injury.
Figure 6: GuardShield two-beam PAC and corner mirrors mounted to
pedestal floor stands
Figures 5 and 6 show two- and three-beam GuardShield PACs
with two corner mirrors providing three-sided detection. Mirrors
are offered in either narrow or wide styles in heights to
accommodate two- or three-beam GuardShield PACs.
Response Time
The response time of the two- and three-beam GuardShield PAC
safety light curtain is 20 ms without beam coding or 30ms with
beam coding.
In the United States there are two formulas that are used to
properly calculate the safety distance. The first, the OSHA formula,
is the minimum requirement for the calculation of the safety
distance. The second formula, the one recommended by Rockwell
Automation, is the ANSI formula, which incorporates additional
factors to be considered when calculating the safety distance.
OSHA Safety Distance Calculation Formula
The OSHA safety distance formula as specified in CFR Subpart O
1910.217 is as follows:
Ds = 63 X T
Ds Safety Distance
63 Is the OSHA recommended hand speed constant in
inches per second
Ts Is the total stop time of all devices in the safety circuit,
measured in seconds. This value must include all
components involved in stopping the hazardous
motion of the machinery. For a mechanical power press
it is the stopping time measured at approximately the
90º position of the crankshaft rotation.
S
Original instructions

GuardShield™ PAC Safety Light Curtain Installation Instructions
The TS number must include the response
times of all devices, including the response
time of the safety light curtain, the safety light
curtain controller (if used), the machine’s
control circuit and any other devices that
react to stop the hazardous motion of the
machinery. Not including the response time
of a device or devices in the stop time
calculation will result in insufficient safety
distance for the application. This may result in
operator injury.
IMPORTANT
The ANSI Safety Distance Formula
The ANSI safety distance formula, which is the Rockwell
Automation recommended formula, is as follows:
D
= K x (TS + TC + Tr + Tbm) + D
S
Ds Minimum safety distance between the safe guarding
device and the nearest point of operation hazard, in
inches.
K Hand speed constant in inches per second. The ANSI
standard value is 63 in. per second when the operator
begins reaching toward the point of operation hazard
from rest. NOTE: ANSI B11.19 1990 E4.2.3.3.5 states “The
value of the hand speed constant, K, has been
determined by various studies and although these
studies indicate speeds of 63 inches/second to over 100
in./second, they are not conclusive determinations. The
employer should consider all factors, including the
physical ability of the operator, when determining the
value of K to be used.”
Ts Stop time of the machine tool measured at the final
control element.
Tc Response time of the control system
pf
Ds= 63 in./sec X ( 0.250 + 0.050+ 0.02) + 48 in.
Ds = 20.16 in. + 48 in.
Ds = 68.16 in. from hazardous motion
The GuardShield three beam PAC should be mounted at least 68.2
in. from the closest reachable hazard point of the protected
machinery or equipment.
European Safety Distance Formula
A safety distance must be maintained between the light curtain
and the point of danger. This safety distance ensures that the
point of danger can only be reached after the dangerous state of
the machine has been completely removed.
The safety distance as defined in EN ISO 13855 and ENISO13857
depends on:
• Stopping/run-down time of the machine or system. (The
stopping/run-down time is shown in the machine
documentation or must be determined by taking a
measurement.)
• Response time of the protective device
• The person’s speed of approach
• Resolution of the light curtain and/or beam separation
When using the GuardShield PAC three beam with 400 mm beam
spacing, EN 999 requires that the first beam should be mounted
at 300 mm above the floor. When mounted in this configuration, it
is necessary to add 850 mm as the value for “C” in the safety
distance calculation equation.
Note: Ts and Tc are usually measured by a stop time
measuring device.
Tr Response time of the presence sensing device (safety
light curtain) and its interface, if any. This value is
generally stated by the device manufacturer or it can be
measured by the user.
Tbm Additional time allowed for the brake monitor to
compensate for variations in normal stopping time.
Dpf Depth penetration factor. It is an added distance to
allow for how far into the protective field an object, such
as a finger or hand, can travel before being detected. D
is related to the safety light curtain’s object sensitivity.
Object sensitivity is the smallest diameter object which
will always be detected anywhere in the sensing field.
Example—Reach Over
In this example, the value of K is the hand speed constant of 63 in.
per second, the Ts machine stop time is 250 ms (0.250sec), the
20% brake wear factor is 0.05 sec and the GuardShield PAC
response time is 20 ms (0.020 sec). The Dpf is 48 in. for reach over
applications.

a
Distance D (meters)
The installation of the GuardShield PAC safety
light curtain must adhere to the ANSI
standard B11.19/E4.2.3.3.6, which requires
that a presence sensing device shall prevent
the operator or others from reasonably
reaching over, around, or under the sensing
field into the hazardous area. Auxiliary
safeguarding may be required in conjunction
with the GuardShield PAC to meet this
requirement.
How to Calculate the Safety Distance S
According to EN ISO 13855 and EN ISO 13857:
® First, calculate S using the following formula:
S = 1600 × (Ts + Tr) + C
Where …
Ts = stopping/run-down time of the machine
+ response time of the protective device [s]
Tr = response time of the GuardShield PAC
S = safety distance [mm]
C = safety supplement
S = 1600 x (0.250 + 0.020) + 850 mm
S = 1600 x (0.270) + 850 mm
S = 432 + 850 mm
S = 1282 mm
Minimum Distance from Reflecting Surfaces
The infrared light from the sender may be reflected off of shiny
surfaces and be received by the system’s receiver. If this condition
occurs, it can result in an object not being detected when it enters
the GuardShield PAC’s sensing field.
All reflecting surfaces and objects (e.g. material bins) must
therefore be located at a minimum distance a from the protective
field of the system. The minimum distance a depends on the
distance D between sender and receiver.
The effective aperture angle for the GuardShield PAC system is +/-
2.5° at a mounting distance of > 3.0 m (9.8 ft). Calculate the
minimum distance to reflecting surfaces depending on the
distance between the transmitter and the receiver, using an
aperture angle of +/- 2.5°, or take the appropriate value from the
following table:
Distance Between Transmitter and Receiver

IMPORTANT
Determine if the machinery, on which the GuardShield PAC is to
be mounted, meets the requirements as specified in the
beginning of this manual, i.e., machinery must be able to be
stopped anywhere in its stroke or cycle, consistently and
repeatedly.
The GuardShield PAC must be mounted at the proper distance
from the point of operation hazard. This distance is referred to as
the Safety Distance.
ANSI/RIA 15.06 requires that the first beam of the GuardShield
PAC be mounted at 300 mm (12 in.) off of the floor in vertical
applications. The protective height of the GuardShield PAC three
beam is 820 mm. The combination of 300 mm (12in.) and 820
mm equals 1120 mm which meets the ANSI/RIA 15.06
requirements of a “reach over” application. This requires that the
depth penetration factor (Dpf ) be 48 in. when performing the
safety distance calculation.

Transmitters emit in opposite direction.
Each receiver receives only the beams of
the appropriate transmitter.
Transmitters emit in same direction:
➡Coding necessary
Positioning of the light curtain:
Transmitters emit in opposite direction.
Noncoded Coded
The standard GuardShield PAC has an LED in the receiver which is
used as an alignment aid. This LED will begin flashing when the
infrared light from the transmitter is “seen” by the receiver. This
LED turns off when optimal alignment is attained. An external
laser (440L-ALAT) and mounting bracket (440L-AF6109) is offered
as an accessory for aligning the GuardShield PAC.
Alignment Procedure: Standard GuardShield PAC
Mount and connect both transmitter and receiver. They must be
parallel to each other and be positioned at the same height.
Turn on power to GuardShield PAC system.
Rotate the Transmitter while watching the amber LED on the
receiver to find the point where the indicator for the ON state
(Green LED) illuminates and the amber LED goes off.
Determine the maximum left and right turning angles and
position unit in center. Tighten all hardware assuring that the
alignment indicator is not illuminated.
Cycle power to assure that the system powers up and goes to the
ON state (alignment indicator is OFF)
The GuardShield PAC meets the requirements of IEC 61496 which
requires that the optics of the transmitter and receiver emit and
receive infrared light at a maximum of +/-2.5°. This requirement
creates a tight optical path of infrared light and as such may make
the GuardShield PAC somewhat difficult to align at maximum
range or when corner mirrors are being used in the application to
provide two or three sided perimeter guarding.
When using the GuardShield PAC in perimeter guarding
applications, particularly with corner mirrors, it is best to use the
Allen Bradley GuardMaster laser alignment tool to ease the
alignment process. The laser alignment tool part number is 440L-
ALAT. It is also necessary to use the GuardShield mounting
bracket (440L-AF6109) to mount the laser alignment tool to the
GuardShield PAC housing
The GuardShield PAC is also offered with an integrated laser
alignment system. Select the appropriate cat. nos. for this model
of GuardShield PAC.
Multiple GuardShield PACs
When two or more GuardShield PACs are mounted in close
proximity to one another, it may be possible for the receiver of
one GuardShield PAC pair to receive infrared light from the
transmitter of another GuardShield PAC pair. This optical
interference can be over come by the GuardShield PAC feature of
Beam Coding. Beam coding changes the pulse pattern of infrared
light emitted by a GuardShield PAC transmitter.
Figure 5: Multiple GuardShield PAC alignment options
Alignment Procedure for GuardShield PAC
with Integrated Laser Alignment
1. Properly locate the GuardShield PAC pair from the point of
operation hazard after performing the safety distance
calculation.
2. Using the GuardShield PAC mounting brackets, mount the
transmitter and receiver so that they are facing one another
and are positioned in the same direction. A reference would be
that the indicator LEDs are opposite one another.
3. Turn on each laser by placing a finger or hand in front of each
laser.
4. Adjust the transmitter and receiver in such a way that both
visible laser beams hit the laser targets opposite each laser. A
small deviation from the center of the target is allowable.
12
Mounting Brackets
The GuardShield PAC is mounted using right angle brackets
attached to the endcaps of both transmitter and receiver. Each
GuardShield PAC is supplied with standard right angle mounting
brackets and self-threading screws. It may be necessary to use
additional brackets to mount the GuardShield PAC at a proper
safety distance from the machinery hazard.

Shock Isolation Kits
Rockwell Automation offers a shock and vibration isolation kit
(440L-AF6120) for attenuating excessive shock and vibration in
vertical applications of the GuardShield PAC safety light curtain.
This kit is most effective in extending the operational life of the
GuardShield PAC safety light curtains in excessive shock and
vibration applications, particularly in applications where shock
levels can exceed 50 g.
Figure 7: Shock isolation kit
Rockwell Automation also offers pedestal floor stands for
mounting the GuardShield light curtains when the shock and
vibration levels of the equipment are excessively high. These
mounting stands isolate the GuardShield light curtains from
receiving the shock through the equipment, however, the area
immediately around the machine may also experience high levels
of shock and vibration therefore, it may be necessary to use the
shock mount kits when mounting the light curtains to the
mounting stands.

GuardShield™ PAC Safety Light Curtain Installation Instructions
Prior to powering up the GuardShield PAC
system, the responsible person should review
the following Checklist.
ATTENTION
Never operate the GuardShield PAC before
carrying out the following inspection.
Improper inspection can lead to serious or
even deadly injury.
If any of the above conditions do not result in
the hazardous motion of the machine
ceasing, do not allow the protected machine
to be placed in operation.
IMPORTANT
Checklist
Before the initiation of the GuardShield PAC the responsible
person should work through the following checklist.
Cable check prior to initiation:
1. o The power supply is solely connected to the
GuardShield PAC.
2. o The power supply is a 24V DC device, that must comply
to all applicable standards of the Machinery Directive
2006/42/EC, and the product standard (IEC 61496).
3. o Proper polarity of the power supply at the GuardShield
PAC .
4. o The transmitter connection cable is properly connected
to the transmitter, the receiver connection cable is
properly connected to the receiver.
5. o The double insulation between the light curtain output
and an external potential is ensured.
6. o The OSSD outputs are not connected to +24V DC.
7. o The connected switching elements (load) are not
connected to 24V DC.
8. o No connection to a conventional power supply.
9. o If two or more GuardShield PAC are to be used, make
sure that each system is properly installed, in order to
avoid optical interference.
Daily Inspection
1. o Approach to hazardous machine parts must only be
possible through the protective field of GuardShield
PAC .
2. o Operators cannot step through the sensing area while
working on dangerous machine parts.
3. o The safety distance of the application is bigger than the
calculated value.
4. o The optic front cover is neither scratched nor dirty.
Operate the machine and check, if the hazardous movement will
stop under the following circumstances.
5. o The protective field is interrupted.
6. o Hazardous machine movement stops immediately, if
the protective field is interrupted by the test rod
directly in front of the transmitter, directly in front of
the receiver and in the middle between transmitter and
receiver.
7. o No hazardous machine movement while completely
interrupting any of the PAC beams.
8. o The power supply of the GuardShield PAC is turned off.
IMPORTANT
Switch the GuardShield PAC on and check its
function by observing the following:
10. o 2 seconds after switching on, the system starts to work
properly, if the protective field is free of obstructions.
Safety Instructions—Maintenance
Note:
1. For safety reasons all inspection results should be recorded.
2. Only persons, who clearly understand the functioning of the
GuardShield PAC and of the machine, may carry out an
inspection.
3. If installer, planning engineer and operator are different
people, make sure that the user has sufficient information
available to carry out the inspection.
