screws. They can be rotated ±30° to facilitate installation and alignment. If you need to
pivot a bracket more than 30°, remove the screws, move the bracket 90°, and reattach the
bracket to the head.
Mounting Location Requirements
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.
There are two ways to mount the Shadow universal mounts. You can either mount them
parallel to the light beam. Or mount them perpendicular to the light beam, as might be done
on a gap frame press. When choosing the mounting location, you must make sure the
location meets these requirements:
1. Shadow VI heads must always be installed so that 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.
2. The units must be protected from pathways used by forklifts, die carts, and other
material-handling equipment.
3. The mounting location must allow unobstructed access to the point-of-operation.
4. Shadow light curtains must be located at an adequate safety distance from the point of
operation (pinch point) to allow time for the press to stop once the light curtain has been
interrupted. This is explained in the section "Calculating the safety distance" earlier in
this chapter.
5. Every route to the press's pinch point or hazardous area must be guarded. Shadow VI
transmitter and receiver by themselves provide guarding on one side of the press. Mirrors
used with Shadow VI can provide 3-sided protection by "bending" the light curtain
around the hazardous point-of-operation. When Shadow mirrors are not used in
conjunction with the light curtain, however, other guarding means (such as mechanical
side-guards) must be substituted for them, in accordance with OSHA/ANSI guidelines.
