CHECKOUTS AND MAINTENANCE
Verification of barrier efficiency.
Before each work shift or before switching on, check the correct operation of the
photoelectric barrier.
Proceed as follows, intercepting the beams using the appropriate test object (available free
of charge on request).
The correct test object must be used for testing, depending on the barrier resolution.
Please see page 38 for the correct ordering code.
•
Introduce the test object into the protected area and move it slowly, starting
from the top and moving down (or vice versa), first in the centre and then in the
vicinity of both the Emitter and the Receiver.
•
Multibeam models:
Intercept each beam with an opaque object, first in the center of the detection
zone and then close to the emitter and the receiver.
•
Make sure that during each stage of the test object’s movements the red LED
on the Receiver is always on.
Figure 32
The ADMIRAL AX BK barrier does not
require any specific maintenance
operations; however, periodic cleaning of
the front protective surfaces of the
Emitter and Receiver optics is
recommended.
Wipe using a clean, damp cloth; in
particularly dusty environments, after
cleaning the front surface, the use of an
anti-static spray is recommended.
Never use abrasive or corrosive
products, solvents or alcohol
, which
could damage parts. Do not use woollen
cloths, that could electrify the front
surface.
