Reer ARGOLUX AS Series User Manual

GENERAL OBSERVATIONS
The ARGOLUX AS curtain is a multibeam optoelectronic protective device
designed to secure operators working on dangerous machines in an
industrial environment.
The ARGOLUX AS system is made up of an emitter, a receiver and a
separate control unit. The 3 units are combined to provide a type 2 fail-safe
system as defined by the EN 61496-1 and prEN 61496-2 («Safety of
machinery - Electro-sensitive protective system»).
When an opaque object (such as the operator’s hand or arm) enters the
dangerous areas and therefore goes through the detection field between
the emitter and the receiver, the control unit de-energizes its output relays.
The result is the immediate stoppage of the dangerous movement if the
control unit is correctly connected to the machine control circuitry.
To fulfil correctly its safety function, the safety system must be correctly
interfaced to the machine circuitry and correctly positioned regarding the
danger zone to reduce or cancel risk.
APPLICATIONS
APPLICATIONSAPPLICATIONS
APPLICATIONS
The ARGOLUX AS curtain may be used on industrial machines for which
the risk assessment allows the use of a type 2 electrosensitive protective
system.
The detection of an object obscuring any beam in the curtain de-energizes
the output circuit of the curtain and the moving body of the machine comes
to rest.
