Installation and Checkout
It is easiest to connect extensions when power to the light curtains is off. Shadow 8 will only
recognize the segments you have added when power to the press has been removed, then
reapplied.
Connecting Extension Heads Using Pigtails Only
To connect a pair of Extension heads to the Main heads or to another pair of Extensions when
the distance between the two receivers and the two transmitters is less than 7 in., do the
following:
1.
With power to the press turned off, unscrew the end caps from the threaded connectors on
the receiver and transmitter to which you are connecting the Extension units.
2.
Plug the pigtails on the Extension heads into the now capless threaded connectors on the
other receiver and transmitter, and screw them down tightly.
3.
Plug the end caps you removed in step 1 into the threaded connectors on the Extension
units (the connectors are keyed), and screw them down securely.
4.
Apply power to the light curtains. If your Shadow 8 is operating in Start/Restart Interlock
mode, turn the Program/Run/Start key switch to “START” to reset the unit.
Connecting Extension Heads Using Interconnect Cables
To connect a pair of Extension heads to the Main heads or to another pair of Extensions when
the distance between the two receivers and the two transmitters is greater than 7 in., do the
following:
1.
With power to the press turned off, unscrew the end caps from the threaded connectors on
the receiver and transmitter to which you are connecting the Extension units.
2.
Plug the pigtails on the Extension heads into the female connectors on the interconnect
cables (the connectors are keyed), and screw the two connectors together.
Make sure to install end caps on the connectors of the last Extension Receiver and
Transmitter in your light curtain setup to protect them from oil and other contaminants.
Use no more than one interconnect cable to wire one receiver or transmitter to another.
When joining cables with quick-disconnect fittings, be sure to make the connections
between the two cables as tight as you can make them by hand. Do not use tools such as
wrenches or pliers to tighten quick-disconnects.
