Height Considerations
DANGER
!
IMPROPER INSTALLATION
Ensure that the light curtain is installed so it is impossible for anyone to reach over, under, or
around the light curtain and into the hazardous area of the machine without being detected.
Use the correct height light curtain, combined with ancillary physical guards.
Failure to comply with these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
DANGER
!
OPERATOR CAN BE BETWEEN LIGHT CURTAIN AND HAZARDOUS AREA
Ensure that the operator cannot position him- 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.
Once you have determined the correct safety distance, you must select the proper curtain
height. Shadow VI comes in sizes ranging from 6" to 60". Shadow must be installed so it is
impossible for anyone to reach over, under, or around the light curtain and into the hazardous
area of the press without being detected. This is accomplished with the proper height light
curtain, combined with ancillary physical guards.
Designing and Mounting Brackets
Once you have calculated the correct safety distance, you can mount your Shadow
transmitter and receiver at this distance from the nearest pinch point (or other hazardous area
of the press). This set of steps lists all the information and dimensions you need to know to
do a good job in designing and mounting brackets. It covers:
1. What requirements you must meet when choosing your mounting location.
2. How to design and mount the brackets so that the Shadow heads can be easily aligned.
3. Maximum openings for side guards used with Shadow light curtains for three-sided
guarding.
4. Mounting Shadow light curtains with mirrors.
5. Mounting Shadow light curtains upside down.
A careful reading of this material will ensure that you will not have trouble mounting and
aligning your Shadow light curtains. After you read this material, design and mount your
brackets.
Universal Mounts
The Shadow VI transmitter and receiver come with universal mounts. These universal
mounts are located at the top and bottom of each head and are held into place by mounting
