An accessory which shows clearly the whole flexibil-
ity and great variety of the Safe2+ or Safe4 family is
a computer program named "Configuration Tool with
OptiLink".
The user defines with the help of an easy working
graphical editor the configuration:
1. Length and number of protective fields
2. Resolution
3. Connecting type (cable gland or M12/5 pin)
4. Length of the connection cables
5. System with or without ILAS
6. Safety category 2 or 4
The results given to the user are the
•
exact designation of system for a clear identify-
ing of the customer design,
•
response time and
•
safety distance.
All data in the software "Configuration Tool" with
regards to safety, is checked and certified by TÜV
Rheinland. Calculations of the safety distances can
be printed out and become a part of the safety
evaluation documentation for the corresponding
application.

Inspection and service
All light curtains contain only electronics and there-
fore need no preventive maintenance.
9.1. Cleaning
The optical windows are to be cleaned with non-
aggressive materials only. The interval between
cleaning is dependant on the air pollution at the
installation.
Do not use aggressive solvents or abrasive sub-
stances. Otherwise range reduction and false
switching could arise
