Environmental factors can affect the operation of a safety light curtain and proper
consideration should be taken into account for mounting a system where fog, rain,
smoke, dust, large temperature fluctuations etc. is a consideration.
Safety light curtains do not protect personnel from chemicals, heat, gases,
radiation, flying parts etc. as they are not a physical barrier.
The owner/provider must carry out a Risk Assessment and provide machine
operators instruction for the use of the safety light curtain on the machinery.
The 8K3 series safety light curtain can be configured with either the
‘L’ type (exit
only or
a ‘T’ type (entry / exit) system.
The ‘L’ muting module configuration shown above is for out-feed zones ONLY. It
operates in a cross-beam muting beam configuration, the distance between the
Transmitter (TX) and Receiver (RX) should not exceed 3.5 metres.
The inverted
‘T’ shape muting module configuration shown above is for infeed and
infeed/outfeed positions. It operates in a cross-beam muting beam configuration,
the distance between the Transmitter (TX) and Receiver (RX) should not exceed
3.5 metres.
