Reer ARGOLUX AS Series User Manual

INSTALLATION
Referring to the EN 61496-1 European norm, a possible failure of a type
2 optoelectronic protective device is detected when the next test is
applied.
Therefore, the following must be checked before installing the ARGOLUX
AS series barrier:

For a type 2 protective device, the test sequence must be generated before
any new energising of the output relays. Output relays are energized if no
failure is detected during the test sequence.
Before installing the ARGOLUX AS series barrier, make sure that:

The working cycle of the machine or any dangerous movement must be set
in motion using a specific command device such as a pushbutton.

When the test needs to be generated by the operator himself using a
pushbutton, the following applies:
• The pushbutton should be fixed outside the dangerous area;
• The pushbutton must be installed at a point that gives the operator
the best visibility of the dangerous zone.
Before installing the ARGOLUX AS safety barrier, the following must be
checked:
• The moving part of the machine can be electrically controlled;
• It is possible to stop immediately any dangerous movement of the
machine. Stopping time of the machine must be known;
• The machine cannot create dangerous situations related to the
falling or the ejection of objects. If this is the case, additional
mechanical guards must be installed;
• The minimum size of the detected object must be greater or equal
to the selected model resolution.
