6 Mounting
This chapter describes the preparation and completion of the mounting of the C4000
safety light curtain. The mounting requires two steps:
determining the necessary safety distance
installation with swivel mount or side brackets
additional measures to prevent bypassing of the protection
The following steps are necessary after mounting:
completing the electrical connections (chapter 7)
aligning sender and receiver unit (section 8.2)
testing the installation (section 8.3)
6.1 Additional measures to prevent bypassing of the
protection
The measures described relate to the horizontal mounting of the C4000.
To ensure the protective field is not intentionally or unintentionally bypassed, the following
additional measures may be necessary:
Method of attempting to bypass Possible measures
jumping over/stepping over the
protective field
select adequate length for the safety
light curtain
mount safety light curtain higher
mount fixed barriers
limit height of the material entry/exit
crawling beneath the protective field comply with mounting height of
maximum 300 mm or take additional
measures
balancing over the protective field
walking in the shadow of an object
teach-in people with fixed object (box,
briefcase)
fit additional safety light curtains
mount fixed barriers
mount device for preventing steps or
barriers
minimise the distance between ESPE
and pallet so that a foot does not fit
between
reduce headroom
unintentional riding with the objects, e.g.
on belt conveyors
fit additional photoelectric safety
switches
limit clearance height to the dangerous
movement
take organisational measures (e.g.
training courses and information labels
