Setup and function
Overview
The multiple light beam safety device deTem4 A/P is an electro-sensitive protective
device (ESPE) consisting of a transmitter and receiver unit (hereinafter referred to as
the active unit) and a deflection unit (hereinafter referred to as the passive unit). The
transmitter and receiver unit is located in the same housing.
The hazardous area is protected by the infrared light beams between the active unit
and the passive unit on the opposite side. The infrared beams of the active unit hit the
passive unit and are sent back to the active unit with a parallel offset.
When one or more light beams are completely interrupted, the protective device reports
the interruption in the light path to the secure output signal switching devices (OSSDs)
by a signal change. The machine or its control must safely analyze the signals (for
example using a safe control or safety relays) and stop the dangerous state.

Beam separation and number of beams
The beam separation is the distance between two adjacent light beams, measured
from the center of one beam to the center of the next.
The beam separation and number of beams depend on the device variant.
