1125100 WPC 1000 User Manual
2-18 Installation
Installing a Light Curtain
The light curtain is normally mounted in front of the die space and must be located at least the
safety distance from the pinch point. This location ensures that the light curtain can send a
Stop command to the press in time for the press to stop before anyone can reach the pinch
point. Any opening or access to the die space that is not guarded by the light curtain must be
guarded by mechanical barriers.
To determine the Stopping Time of the press, refer to page 3-15. To calculate the correct
safety distance, see page 3-20. For complete Shadow light curtain mounting instructions, see
your Shadow user manual.
Installing Shadow Light Curtains
Wiring connections for Shadow light curtains are provided in the following wiring diagrams
at the back of the manual:
• Shadow V–Figure 6
• Shadow VI–Figure 2
• Shadow VI Integrated–Figure 7
• Shadow VII–Figures 8 and 9
• Shadow 8–Figures 12 and 13
For Shadow I or Shadow II wiring, contact Wintriss Tech. Support.
PREVENT OPERATOR FROM STANDING BETWEEN LIGHT CURTAIN AND HAZARDOUS AREA
Ensure that the operator cannot position himself between the light curtain and the hazardous area.
Use another pair of light curtains or a mechanical barrier at knee to waist height to prevent the
operator or a passerby from being “trapped” between the light curtain and the hazard.
Failure to comply with these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
INCORRECT LIGHT CURTAIN INSTALLATION
• Mount the light curtains at the correct safety distance as instructed in Calculating the Safety
Distance, page 3-20. The light curtain will only provide full protection for operators when
mounted at the correct safety distance.
• Install and wire your light curtains correctly, following the instructions in your Shadow manual
and referring to Figures 2, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12 and 13 at the end of this manual.
Failure to comply with these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
You cannot permanently mount the light curtain until the WPC 1000 is working properly and you
have measured the Stopping Time, set the brake monitor, and calculated the correct safety
distance. However, you will be able to wire the light curtain.
