2 Overview
2.1 General description
The Orion1 Base light curtains are Active Opto-electronic Protective Devices (AOPDs) that are used to protect
working areas that, in presence of machines, robots, and automatic systems in general, can become hazardous for
operators that can get in touch, even accidentally, with moving parts.
The Orion1 Base light curtains are Type 4 intrinsic safety systems used as accident-prevention protection devices and
are manufactured in accordance with the international standards in force for safety, in particular:
EN 61496-1:2013
Safety of machinery –Electro-sensitive protective equipment

The device, consisting of one transmitter and one receiver housed inside strong aluminium profiles, generates infrared
beams and detects any opaque object interrupting a beam. The 2 units are composed by one or several transmitting
and receiving modules.
The transmitter and the receiver are equipped with the command and control functions. The receiver checks the
control operations and safety actions.
The synchronisation between the transmitter and the receiver takes place optically, i.e. no electrical connection
between the two units is required.
The microprocessors guarantee the check and the management of the beams that are sent and received and the
microprocessors inform the operator about the general conditions of the AOPD, including errors, via LEDs (see
paragraph 8 –“Diagnostic functions”).
The connections are made through a M12 connector located in the lower side of the profile.
During installation, a display facilitates the alignment of both units (see paragraph 6 –“Alignment procedure”).
As soon as an object, a limb or the operator’s body accidentally interrupts one or several of the infrared beams sent by
the transmitter, the OSSD outputs switch off and block the Machine Primary Control Element, MPCE (if correctly
connected to the OSSD outputs).

2.2 Resolution
The resolution of the AOPD is the minimum dimension that an opaque object must have in order to interrupt at least
one of the beams that constitute the detection zone.
Which resolution to choose depends on the part of the body to be protected:
R = 14mm
Finger protection
R = 30 mm
Hand protection
The resolution R is calculated using the following formula:
R = I + d
where:
I Distance between the centers of two adjacent optics.
d Diameter of the lens.
Figure 1 –Resolution
Therefore, the resolution depends only on the geometrical characteristics of the lenses, diameter and distance
between centers, and is independent of any environmental and operating conditions of the AOPD.
See paragraph 12 –“Model overview” for the resolution of each model.

2.4 Minimum installation distance
Warning! The information given in this chapter shall be considered as an overview. For correct positioning, please
refer to the latest version of the complete standard EN ISO 13855 ”Safety of machinery – Positioning of safeguards
with respect to the approach speeds of parts of the human body”.
The safety device must be positioned at a distance that prevents a person or part of a person to reach the hazard
zone before the hazardous motion of the machine has been stopped by the AOPD.
According to EN ISO 13855:2010, the minimum distance to the hazard zone is calculated using:
S = (K × T) + C
S Minimum distance (mm) between safeguard and hazard zone.
K Approach speed of body parts towards the hazard zone (mm/s). See below for values.
T Overall system stopping performance (s) with T = T1 + T2, where:
T1 = response time of the AOPD (s).
T2 = stopping time of the machine, including the response time of the safety control system (s).
C Intrusion distance (mm). C depends on the resolution d and the position of the detection zone. See below.
2.4.1 Vertically assembled AOPD
The minimum distance S for a vertically assembled AOPD is determined in three steps:
a) Calculation of the minimum distance for reaching through the detection zone, SRT.
b) Calculation of the minimum distance for reaching over the detection zone, SRO.
c) Comparison of SRT and SRO. The minimum distance S is the greater of the two.
NB: If access to the hazard zone by reaching over the AOPD can be excluded, e.g. by the provision of guards or other
protective measures, steps b) and c) are not necessary.
Figure 3 –Minimum distance for a vertically assembled AOPD
S = minimum distance in mm
H1= height of the lowest beam
H2= height of the uppermost beam
H1 ≤ 300 mm*
H2 ≥ 900 mm
* 400 mm can be used for 2 beams
when the risk assessment allows it.
a) SRT = (K × T) + CRT
CRT = 8 × (d-14) mm for devices with a resolution d ≤ 40 mm
CRT = 850 mm for devices with resolution d > 40 mm
NB: Floating blanking has an influence on the resolution. Please check the correct value.
If the resolution is ≤ 40 mm, use first K = 2000 mm/s.
In this case, the minimum value of S = 100 mm, except in single/double break mode with a resolution
d > 14 mm when S must be > 150 mm.
If the resolution is > 40 mm or if the previously calculated value of S is > 500 mm, use K = 1600 mm/s. In
this case, the minimum value of S = 500 mm.

2TLC172287M0201 Rev B 10 www.abb.com/jokabsafety
2015-09-17
b) SRO = (K × T) + CRO
K and T according to a).
CRO = Intrusion distance when reaching over the AOPD towards the hazard zone prior to the actuation of the
AOPD. This value depends on the height of the hazard zone and the height of the uppermost beam,
see EN ISO 13855:2010.
2.4.2 Horizontally assembled AOPD
In this case, S is the minimum distance from the hazardous machinery to the farthermost beam:
Figure 4 –Minimum distance for a horizontally assembled AOPD
S = minimum distance in mm
H = height of the detection zone.
See below for calculation
S = (K × T) + C
K = 1600 mm/s.
C = 1200 - 0.4 × H, where H is the height of the detection zone in mm. S Shall not be less than 850 mm.
The minimum allowed height of the detection zone above the reference plane is calculated using H = 15 × (d - 50),
where d is the resolution. H shall not be less than 0 or greater than 1000.
2.4.3 Angled assembled AOPD
See the latest version of EN ISO 13855.
2.4.4 Practical examples
Let's suppose we have an Orion1-4-xx-060 in a vertical position and with no risk of reaching over it.
S = K × (T1 + T2) + 8 × (d -14)
Orion1-4-14-060
Orion1-4-30-060
T1, response time of AOPD

In both cases, S is greater than 500 mm and can be recalculated with K = 1600 mm/s.
SK=1600, minimum distance with K = 1600 mm/s
642 mm
757 mm
S is still greater than 500 mm and therefore OK.

2.5 Safety information
Warning!
For a correct and safe use of the Orion1 Base light curtains, the following points must be observed:
The stopping system of the machine must be electrically controlled.
This control system must be able to stop the hazardous movement of the machine within the total machine
stopping time T as per paragraph 2.4 –“Minimum installation distance”, and during all working cycle phases.
Mounting and connection of the AOPD must be carried out by qualified personnel only, according to the
indications included in the special sections (see paragraphs 3; 4; 5; 6) and in the applicable standards.
The AOPD must be securely placed in a particular position so that access to the hazard zone is not possible
without the interruption of the beams (see paragraph 3 -”Installation”).
The personnel operating in the hazard zone must be well trained and must have adequate knowledge of all
the operating procedures of the AOPD.
The TEST button must be located outside the hazard zone because the operator must check the hazard zone
during all the test operations.
The ACKNOWLEDGE/RESET button must be located outside the hazard zone because the operator must
check the hazard zone during all acknowledge/reset operations. It must be impossible to reach the button
from the hazard zone.
If the external device monitoring (EDM) function is used, it must be activated by connecting a specific wire to
the device, see paragraph 5 –“Electrical connections”.
Please carefully read the instructions for the correct functioning before powering the AOPD.

2015-09-17
3 Installation
3.1 Precautions to observe for the choice and installation of the AOPD
The outputs (OSSD) of the AOPD must be used as machine stopping devices and not as command devices.
The machine must have its own Start command.
The dimension of the smallest object to be detected must be larger than the resolution of the AOPD.
The AOPD must be installed in a room complying with the technical characteristics indicated in
paragraph 11 –“Technical data”.
Do not place the AOPD near strong and/or flashing light sources or similar devices.
Strong electromagnetic interferences can jeopardize the function of the AOPD. Please contact your
ABB Jokab Safety representative for advice.
The operating distance of the device can be reduced in presence of smog, fog or airborne dust.
A sudden change in environment temperature, with very low minimum peaks, can generate a small
condensation layer on the lenses and jeopardize the function.
3.2 General information on positioning the AOPD
The AOPD must be carefully positioned, in order to offer effective protection: access to the hazard zone must only be
possible by passing through the detection zone of the AOPD.
Warning! Figure 5 shows some examples of possible access to the machine from the top and the bottom sides.
These situations can be very hazardous and the AOPD must be installed at a correct height in order to completely
cover the access to the hazard zone (Figure 6).

YES
NO
NO

2TLC172287M0201 Rev B 13 www.abb.com/jokabsafety
2015-09-17
Under normal operating conditions, it must be impossible to start the machine while operators are inside the hazard
zone.
When the installation of the AOPD close to the hazard zone is not possible, a second AOPD must be mounted in a
horizontal position in order to prevent any lateral access, see Figure 8.
Warning! If the operator is able to enter the hazard zone, an additional mechanical protection must be mounted to
prevent the access.
Figure 7 –Incorrect installation
Figure 8 –Correct installation
3.2.1 Minimum installation distance
See paragraph 2.4 –“Minimum installation distance”.
3.2.2 Minimum distance to reflecting surfaces
Reflecting surfaces placed near the light beams of the AOPD (over, under or laterally) can cause passive reflections.
These reflections can compromise the recognition of an object inside the detection zone (see Figure 9).
For example, if the receiver (RX) detects a secondary beam (reflected by the side-reflecting surface), the object might
not be detected, even if the object interrupts the main beam.
NO
YES

2TLC172287M0201 Rev B 14 www.abb.com/jokabsafety
2015-09-17
Figure 9 –Distance to reflecting surfaces
It is thus important to respect a minimum distance between the AOPD and reflecting surfaces. The minimum distance,
Dsr, depends on the:
operating distance between transmitter (TX) and receiver (RX),
effective aperture angle (EAA) of the AOPD:
For a type 4 AOPD, EAAMAX = 5° (α= ± 2.5°).
The diagram below shows the minimum distance to the reflecting surface (Dsr), based on the operating distance for a
Type 4 AOPD:
Figure 10 –Minimum distance to a reflective surface as a function of the operating distance

2TLC172287M0201 Rev B 15 www.abb.com/jokabsafety
2015-09-17
The formula to get Dsr for a Type 4 AOPD is the following:
Dsr (m) = 0.15 for operating distance < 3 m
Dsr (m) = 0.5 × operating distance (m) × tan (2) for operating distance 3 m
Warning! If the reflecting surface is the floor, the calculated Dsr can be less than the correct height to the floor that
still must be respected.
3.2.3 Minimum distance between adjacent devices
When several AOPDs must be installed close to each other, the transmitter of one device must not interfere
hazardously with the receiver of the other device.
The TXBinterfering device must be positioned outside a minimum Ddo distance from the axis of the TXA–RXA
transmitter-receiver couple, see figure below.
Figure 11 –Distance between adjacent devices
This minimum Ddo distance depends on:
the operating distance between transmitter (TXA) and receiver (RXA),
the effective aperture angle of the AOPD (EAA):
For a Type 4 AOPD, EAAMAX = 5° (α = ± 2.5°).
The diagram below shows the distance to the interfering devices (Ddo) based on the operating distance (Dop) of the
couple (TXA–RXA) for a Type 4 AOPD.
Figure 12 –Minimum distance to an adjacent device as a function of the operating distance
The formula to get Ddo for a Type 4 AOPD is the following:
Ddo (m) = 0.3 for operating distance < 3 m
Ddo (m) = operating distance (m) × tan (2) for operating distance 3 m

2TLC172287M0201 Rev B 16 www.abb.com/jokabsafety
2015-09-17
Warning! Please note that TXAcan interfere with RXBin the same way as TXBwith RXAand, if the two pairs of AOPD
have different operating distances, the longest one should be used for the calculation of Ddo.
3.2.4 Installation of several adjacent AOPDs
When several AOPDs must be installed close to each other, interferences between the transmitter of one device and
the receiver of the other must be avoided.
Figure 13 provides some examples of correct and incorrect installations when it comes to interferences.

NO
YES
RX
TX
YES

2TLC172287M0201 Rev B 17 www.abb.com/jokabsafety
2015-09-17
3.2.5 Transmitter and receiver orientation
The two units shall be assembled parallel to each other, with the beams positioned at right angles to the transmitting
and receiving surfaces, and with the connectors pointing towards the same direction.
The configurations shown in Figure 14 must be avoided.
Figure 14 –Incorrect orientation
3.2.6 Use of deviating mirrors
The control of any hazard zone, with several but adjacent access sides, is possible using only one AOPD and well-
positioned deviating mirrors.
Figure 15 shows a possible solution to control three different access sides, using two mirrors placed at 45° relative to
the beams.
Figure 15 –Use of deviating mirrors
NB: The following precautions must be respected when using the deviating mirrors:
The alignment of the transmitter and the receiver can be a very critical operation when deviating mirrors are
used. Even a very small displacement of the mirror is enough to loose alignment. The use of an Orion laser
pointer (available as accessory) is recommended in these conditions.
The minimum installation distance (S) must be respected for each single section of the beams.
The effective operating range decreases by about 15% by using only one deviating mirror, the percentage
further decreases by using 2 or more mirrors (for more details, refer to the technical specifications of the
mirrors used).
Do not use more than three mirrors for each device.
NO
NO

2TLC172287M0201 Rev B 18 www.abb.com/jokabsafety
2015-09-17
The presence of dust or dirt on the reflecting surface of the mirror causes a drastic reduction in the range.
The following table shows the operating distances relating to the number of mirrors used.

3.3 Checks after first installation
The control operations to carry-out after the first installation and before machine start-up are listed hereinafter. The
controls must be carried-out by qualified personnel, either directly or under the strict supervision of the person in
charge of machinery safety.
Check that:
The AOPD remains in OSSD OFF state ( ) during beam interruption along the entire detection zone,
using the suitable “Test Piece” and following the Figure 16 scheme. The suitable “Test Piece” has one
dimension identical with the resolution of the AOPD, a cylinder with a 14 mm diameter for a light curtain with a
14 mm resolution for example.
Figure 16 –Scheme for checking the function
The AOPD is correctly aligned: press slightly the product side in both directions and check that the red LED
does not turn on.
The OSSD outputs switch off (the red LED turns on and the controlled machine stops) when the Test
function is activated.
The stopping time of the machine, including the response times of the AOPD and of the machine, is within the
limits defined when calculating the minimum installation distance (refer to paragraph 2.4 –“Minimum
installation distance”).
The minimum installation distance between the hazard zone and the AOPD is in accordance with the
instructions included in paragraph 2.4 –“Minimum installation distance”.
Access of a person between the AOPD and the hazard zone of the machine is not possible, nor is it possible
for him/her to stay there without being detected.
Access to the hazard zone of the machine from any unprotected area is not possible.
The AOPD is not disturbed by external light sources: it should remain in OSSD ON state for at least 10-15
minutes and, after placing the specific test piece in the detection zone, remain in the OSSD OFF state for the
same period of time.
All additional functions behave as expected by activating them in different operating conditions.

4 Mechanical mounting
The transmitter (TX) and receiver (RX) must be installed with the relevant sensitive surfaces facing each other. The
connectors must be positioned on the same side. The distance between the two units must be within the operating
range of the model used (see paragraph 11 –“Technical data”).
The two units must be aligned and as parallel as possible. The next step is the fine alignment, as shown in paragraph
6 “Alignment procedure”.
4.1 Mounting with angled fixing brackets
Angled fixing brackets are supplied with all Orion1 Base models. To mount the AOPD, insert the supplied threaded
pins into the grooves on the two units (see Figure 17).
