The transmitter unit emits a series of parallel infrared light beams toward a receiver unit. These beams create a protective detection field. When an object interrupts one or more beams, the system triggers a safety stop signal to prevent access to hazardous machinery.
Typical parameters include detection range (0.1–6 m), beam spacing (10–40 mm), number of beams (4–128), protection height (100–1200 mm), response time (5–30 ms), supply voltage (24 V DC ±10%), power consumption (2–10 W), operating temperature (-10 to 55 °C), storage temperature (-20 to 70 °C), enclosure rating (IP54–IP65), housing material (aluminum), and weight (0.5–5 kg). These are reference ranges; verify with the manufacturer for the specific model.
You must perform a risk assessment and consult the legal manufacturer or supplier. Verify that the transmitter unit's detection range, protection height, response time, and other parameters meet your safety requirements. Also confirm compliance with applicable standards such as IEC 61496 and IEC 60529 for the specific model.
Regularly clean the optical windows and check for damage. Ensure proper alignment with the receiver unit. Periodically test the safety function according to the manufacturer's instructions. If the unit fails to respond correctly, replace it or contact the manufacturer for service.
