Installation and Checkout
Installation overview
Read this overview before beginning the installation procedures that follow. It will
familiarize you with the steps required to complete the installation.
Calculating the safety distance
The proper distance that the Shadow heads must be mounted away from the pinch point (or
hazardous area) is calculated. This is called the safety distance. This distance allows enough
time for Shadow to react, and the press to stop, before an intrusion, like the operator's hand,
reaches the pinch point. The pinch point is the area of the press where moving parts can
cause injury. The safety distance can be calculated precisely using the formula explained in
the section "Calculating the safety distance".
Mounting location for your Shadow transmitter and receiver
A mounting location is selected. Rigid mounting brackets are fabricated and attached to your
press. Brackets are used to bring the Shadow heads out to the proper safety distance and to
allow proper alignment.
Wiring, aligning, mounting, and making proper settings
The Shadow light curtain optic heads are mounted to the brackets using shock mounts, then
aligned, and wired to the control, which is then wired into your press's control circuitry.
Proper settings are made at the Shadow’s control to enable its features and options.
The standard control enclosure is rated NEMA 2/IP52. You must use conduit of the same
rating and make proper connections to ensure proper protection with the enclosure. If you
have an optional NEMA 4/IP65 enclosure, suitably rated conduit hubs must be used on all
unused holes in the control enclosure to maintain proper NEMA 4/IP65 rating.
Ensuring that the Shadow light curtains are working properly
Perform the checkout sequence after installation to ensure that Shadow VI is working
properly.
