Height Considerations
Once you have determined the correct safety distance, you must determine the proper height
for your light curtains. Light curtains must be installed so it is impossible for anyone to reach
over, under, or around them and into the hazardous area without being detected. It is
essential, therefore, to select light curtains of the right length combined with ancillary
physical guards. Shadow 8 comes in sizes ranging from 9.4 in. to 59.9 in.
Special Requirements for Presence Sensing Device Initiation (PSDI)
for Machines Other Than Mechanical Power Presses
Presence Sensing Device Initiation (PSDI) is a configuration in which the light curtain is used
to start a machine other than a mechanical power press after an object is removed from the
sensing field. Use of PSDI places additional requirements on guarding and safety controls.
PSDI does not allow using certain light curtain features such as extensions (to guard
additional sides of a machine), mirrors, programmable fixed blanking, and floating blanking.
Contact Wintriss Tech. Support for further information. Good sources of reference for PSDI
include ANSI RIA 15.06-1999 and ANSI B11.2-1995 (R2000).
AVOID IMPROPER INSTALLATION
Ensure that the light curtain is installed so it is impossible for anyone to reach over, under, or
around it and into the hazardous area of the machine without being detected (see Figure 2-3,
page 2-13). Use the correct height light curtain, combined with ancillary physical guards.
Failure to comply with these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
PREVENT OPERATOR FROM BEING ABLE TO STAND BETWEEN LIGHT CURTAIN AND
HAZARDOUS AREA
Ensure that the operator cannot position himself or herself between the light curtain and the
hazardous area. Use another pair of light curtains or a mechanical barrier at knee to waist height to
prevent the operator or a passerby from being “trapped” between the light curtain and the hazard.
Failure to comply with these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
