6.1 Installation instructions
The following conditions are to be ensured before installation of the photoelectric
safety sensors:
• The degree of protection of the electro-sensitive equipment (ESPE) has to
correspond with the risk assessment of the machine to be monitored.
• The safety system ensures a safety function and is not required for the
operation of a machine.
• It must be possible to stop any hazardous motion of the machine immediately.
In this respect the shutdown delay of the machine has to be determined.
• The object to be detected must be greater than or equal to the resolution of the
photoelectric safety sensor.
Install the photoelectric safety sensors so that the hazardous area can only
be accessed via the protected area. Depending on the application other
mechanical protective equipment may be necessary.
The operating conditions at the mounting location must not affect the functioning
of the photoelectric safety sensors. Please note especially:
• The transmitter and the receiver must not be affected by intensive light sources
(emitters, sunlight etc.).
• The operating temperature must be within the range indicated
• Fogging of the lenses due to considerable temperature fluctuations can affect
the functioning of the photoelectric safety sensors. Take appropriate measures
to prevent this.
• Certain operating conditions can affect the functioning of the photoelectric
safety sensors. For mounting locations where fog, rain, smoke or dust may
occur, it is recommended to take appropriate measures.
• The directive ISO 13855 must be observed.
