CHECKOUTS AND MAINTENANCE
Checking of light curtain efficiency
Before each shift or at power-on, check the correct operation of the light curtain.
To do this, comply with the following procedure which uses a test object (available free of
charge on request as accessory) to intercept the beams.
The correct test object must be used for the test, depending on light curtain
resolution. Refer to the Accessories/Spares chapter (page 31) for the correct
ordering code.
Referring to Figure 27:
• Introduce the test object in the protected area and move it slowly up and down,
first at the centre and then close to both the Emitter and Receiver.
• For Multibeam models: using an opaque object, interrupt the beams one by one,
first of all at the centre and then close to the Emitter and Receiver.
• Check that, in each phase of test object movement, the red led on the Receiver
always remains ON.

The EOS2 light curtain does not require any specific maintenance; however, it is good
practice to clean the front protective surfaces of the mirrors of the Emitter and Receiver.
Clean with a damp cloth; in very dusty environments, after cleaning the front surface,
spray with an anti-stat product.
