NOTE
While aligning to the indication of the alignment quality, pay attention to the synchroni‐
zation indication of the topmost and bottommost beam and the bracket with which the
sender and receiver are attached.

Aligning the sender and receiver
Important information
DANGER
Dangerous state of the machine
b
Make sure that the dangerous state of the machine is (and remains) switched off
during the alignment process.
b
Make sure that the outputs of the safety light curtain do not affect the machine
during the alignment process.
DANGER
Hazard due to lack of effectiveness of the protective device
The integrated laser alignment aid switches the OSSDs to the OFF state.
b
Make sure that the outputs of the safety light curtain do not have any effect on the
machine when the integrated laser alignment aid is activated.
b
Only use the integrated laser alignment aid to align the safety light curtain.
DANGER
Hazard due to lack of effectiveness of the protective device
The integrated laser alignment aid may influence the receiver of a safety light curtain
in close proximity. In such cases, the neighboring safety light curtain may not detect
persons or parts of the body that require protection.
b
Perform an alignment or take other measures to ensure that the laser beam only
hits the front screen of the relevant receiver. The laser beam must not hit any
external receiver should the integrated laser alignment aid be switched on by
mistake or due to a fault. An external receiver is a receiver that is not part of the
same safety light curtain or same cascade.
b
During alignment in particular, make sure that the laser beam does not hit any
external receiver.
Prerequisites
•
Sender and receiver have been mounted correctly
•
The protective field is free of objects. Neither objects nor body parts (e.g. hand,
tool, optional AR60 laser alignment aid) are in the protective field. Otherwise, at
most diagnostic LEDs 1 and 2 light up during alignment.
