Shadow 8 User Manual 1139300
Introduction 1-5
An optional control enclosure (see Figure 1-3) is available for Main Receiver and Transmitter
unless you are connecting Shadow 8 to a new Wintriss Clutch/Brake Control. The enclosure
can accommodate any-sized receiver and transmitter. No special settings are required. The
control contains a power supply and relay circuitry.
For added security, the control comes standard with two key switches. The Program/Run/
Start key switch is used alone to reset the light curtain after machinery has been stopped due
to a fault (see Figure 1-3). Simply turn the switch to the START position to clear the interlock
or alarm condition. The Program/Run/Start key switch can also be used with the Program
Off/On key switch to program a fixed blanking pattern. See Programming a Fixed Blanking
Window, page 3-4 for details. In addition, the clasp which secures the door of the control can
be padlocked to prevent unauthorized personnel from gaining entry. A screw-down latch for
securing the door is also provided.
Cables for connecting the control to the Main Receiver and Transmitter are available with the
light curtain. They are sized in various lengths and fitted with a keyed, threaded connector at
one end that screws easily into the pigtail-and-connector on the optic heads. The other end of
the cable is not terminated, allowing the cable to be wired to the appropriate terminal block in
the optional control (see Figure 2-20, page 2-32) or in the WPC. Receiver cables, which are
terminated by a connector with a red overmold, are eight-conductor, shielded. Transmitter
cables are five-conductor, shielded and have black connector overmolds.
