Warning!
For a correct and safe use of the Orion3 Base light grids, the following points must be observed:

The stopping system of the machine must be electrically controlled.

This control system must be able to stop the hazardous movement of the machine within the total machine
stopping time T as per paragraph 2.4
– “Minimum installation distance”, and during all working cycle phases.

Mounting and connection of the AOPD must be carried out by qualified personnel only, according to the
indications included in the special sections (see paragraphs 3, 4, 5, 6) and in the applicable standards.

The AOPD must be securely placed in a particular position so that access to the hazard zone is not possible
without the interruption of the beams (see paragraph 3
– “Installation”).

The personnel operating in the hazard zone must be well trained and must have adequate knowledge of all
the operating procedures of the AOPD.

The TEST button must be located outside the hazard zone because the operator must check the entire

check the entire hazard zone during all reset/acknowledge operations. It must be impossible to reach the
button from the hazard zone.

If the external device monitoring (EDM) function is used, it must be activated by connecting a specific wire to
the device, see paragraph 5
– “Electrical connections”.
Please carefully read the instructions for the correct functioning before powering the AOPD.
