3 Product Overview
EZ-SCREEN LS Basic Safety Light Curtain
Banner EZ-SCREEN LS Basic is a two-piece (emitter and receiver), redundant, microprocessor-controlled, opposed-mode
optoelectronic "light curtain" or "safety light screen". Models are available in 23 mm resolution.
Emitters have a row of synchronized modulated infrared (invisible) light-emitting diodes (LEDs) in a robust, compact metal
housing. Receivers have a corresponding row of synchronized photodetectors. The sensing field created by the emitter and
receiver is called the "defined area"; its width and height are determined by the length of the sensor pair and the distance
between them. The sensing range spans from 100 mm to 8 m (4 in to 26 ft), which decreases if corner mirrors or lens shields
are used.
The length of the sensor pair (housing) is dependent on the model, with lengths available from 350 mm to 1820 mm (13.8 in
to 71.6 in). The end to end sensing design of the EZ-SCREEN LS Basic, also known as "no blind zone" and "no dead zone,"
allows mounting with minimal or no gaps in detection when using EZLSA-MBK-12 center-mount or EZLSA-MBK-16 side-
mount brackets.
The EZ-SCREEN LS Basic models have trip output (auto power-up and automatic reset). In typical operation, if any part of
an operator's body (or any opaque object) of more than a pre-determined cross section is detected, the solid-state output
signal switching device (OSSD) safety outputs turn Off. These safety outputs are connected to the guarded machine's final
switching devices (FSDs) that control the machine primary control elements (MPCEs), which immediately stop the motion of
the guarded machine. When the defined area becomes clear, the OSSD outputs are allowed to turn ON.
EZ-SCREEN LS Basic sensors are extensively FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) tested to establish an extremely
high degree of confidence that when properly installed, no system component (even if it should ever fail) can cause a failure
to danger. Because of the dual scan technology, EZ-SCREEN LS Basic sensors are also highly immune to EMI, RFI,
ambient light, weld flash, and strobe light.
Eight-conductor EZ-SCREEN LS Basic systems (receivers with 8-pin pigtail QD or flying leads) do not require an external
controller when using the external device monitoring (EDM) function. This function ensures the fault detection capability
required by U.S. Control Reliability and ISO 13849-1 Categories 3 or 4 and PL d or e for controlling final switching devices
(FSDs) or Machine Primary Control Elements (MPCEs).
When configured with a five-conductor hookup, the EZ-SCREEN LS Basic requires a self-checking safety module, safety
controller, or safety PLC/PES that conforms to the level of performance required by the risk assessment. Examples include
the UM-FA-9A/-11A safety module, SC10-2roe or XS/SC26-2 safety controller for applications requiring Control Reliability
and/or ISO 13849-1 Categories 3 or 4 and PL d or e.
Electrical connections (power, ground, inputs and outputs) are made via unique RD (removable disconnect) cordsets. A
"System" as referred to in this manual, is defined as an emitter and its receiver, plus their cabling.
Available features include selectable scan code via hookup, an auxiliary fault output, a recessed exit window, and robust
metal housing and end-caps for industry leading durability.
Both emitter and receiver feature 7-segment Diagnostic Displays and individual LEDs to provide continuous indication of
operating status, configuration and error conditions. An adhesive Diagnostics label is provided that includes a summary of
the operational and error codes. Active Alignment (Segment) Indicators provide beam block information and easier
installation. See Status Indicators on page 53 for more information.

3.1 Appropriate Applications and Limitations
WARNING:
•Read this Section Carefully Before Installing the System
•Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or death.
• If all mounting, installation, interfacing, and checkout procedures are not followed properly, this
Banner Engineering device cannot provide the protection for which it was designed.
• The user is responsible for ensuring that all local, state, and national laws, rules, codes, or
regulations relating to the installation and use of this control system in any particular application
are satisfied. Ensure that all legal requirements have been met and that all technical installation
and maintenance instructions contained in this manual are followed.
• The user has the sole responsibility to ensure that this Banner Engineering device is installed and
interfaced to the guarded machine by Qualified Persons, in accordance with this manual and
applicable safety regulations. A Qualified person is a person who, by possession of a recognized
degree or certificate of professional training, or who, by extensive knowledge, training and
experience, has successfully demonstrated the ability to solve problems relating to the subject
matter and work.
The EZ-SCREEN LS Basic ability to perform its safeguarding function depends upon the appropriateness of the application
and upon its proper mechanical and electrical installation and interfacing to the guarded machine. If all mounting,
installation, interfacing, and checkout procedures are not followed properly, the EZ-SCREEN LS Basic cannot
provide the protection for which it was designed.
WARNING:
•Install System Only on Appropriate Applications
•Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or death.
• Use Banner's EZ-SCREEN LS Basic only on machinery that can be stopped immediately after a
stop signal is issued at any point in the machine's stroke or cycle, such as part-revolution clutched
machines. Under no circumstances may the EZ-SCREEN LS Basic be used on full-revolution
clutched machinery or in unsuitable applications.
• If there is any doubt about whether or not your machinery is compatible with the EZ-SCREEN LS
Basic, contact Banner Engineering.
3.1.1 Appropriate Applications
EZ-SCREEN LS Basic is typically used for, but is not limited to, the following applications:
• Automated production equipment
• Robotic work cells
• Molding and power presses
• Assembly and packaging machines
• Lean manufacturing systems
3.1.2 Examples: Inappropriate Applications
Do not use EZ-SCREEN LS Basic in the following applications:
• With any machine that cannot be stopped immediately after a stop signal is issued, such as single-stroke (or full-
revolution) clutched machinery
• With any machine with inadequate or inconsistent machine response time and stopping performance
• With any machine that ejects materials or component parts through the defined area
• In any environment that is likely to adversely affect photoelectric sensing efficiency. For example, corrosive chemicals
or fluids or unusually severe levels of smoke or dust, if not controlled, may degrade sensing efficiency
• As a tripping device to initiate or reinitiate machine motion (PSDI applications), unless the machine and its control
system fully comply with the relevant standard or regulation (see OSHA 29CFR1910.217, NFPA 79, ANSI B11.19,
ISO 12100, IEC 60204-1, IEC 61496-1, or other appropriate standard)
If an EZ-SCREEN LS Basic is installed for use as a perimeter guard (where a pass-through hazard may exist, see Reducing
or Eliminating Pass-Through Hazards on page 24), the dangerous machine motion can be initiated by normal means only
after the safeguarded area is clear of individuals and the safety related part of the control system that is providing the latching
function has been manually reset.

3.1.3 Control Reliability: Redundancy and Self-Checking
Redundancy requires that EZ-SCREEN LS Basic circuit components be backed up to the extent that, if the failure of a single
component will prevent effective machine stopping action when needed, that component must have a redundant counterpart
which will perform the same function. The EZ-SCREEN LS Basic is designed with redundant microprocessors.
Redundancy must be maintained whenever the EZ-SCREEN LS Basic is in operation. Because a redundant system is no
longer redundant after a component has failed, EZ-SCREEN LS Basic is designed to monitor itself continuously. A
component failure detected by or within the self-checking system causes a stop signal to be sent to the guarded machine and
puts the EZ-SCREEN LS Basic into a Lockout condition.
A recovery from this type of Lockout condition requires:
• Replacement of the failed component (to restore redundancy)
• The appropriate reset procedure
The Diagnostic Display is used to diagnose causes of a Lockout condition. See Troubleshooting on page 58.
3.2 Models
An EZ-SCREEN LS Basic Safety Light Curtain “System” refers to a compatible emitter and receiver of equal length and
resolution (available in pairs or separately) and their cordsets. Mounting hardware is ordered separately for each emitter and
receiver. Special-purpose mounting brackets are also available. Depending on the connection option, interfacing solutions
include IM-T-.. modules, redundant positively guided contactors, safety modules/controllers, and muting modules.
The 13 mm (0.5 in) minimum bend radius for all cordset models accommodates low-clearance installations; cords can exit to
the left, right, or back of the sensor, when mounting. The pigtail QD option is useful for connection to splitter cables or other
QD cordsets.

3.3 Operating Features
The Banner EZ-SCREEN LS Basic Safety Light Curtain models described in this manual feature several functions
(depending on model).
3.3.1 Trip Output
The System is configured for Trip Output which allows the System to enter Run mode automatically. Other measures must
be taken to prevent a pass-through hazard; see Reducing or Eliminating Pass-Through Hazards on page 24 and the
warning below for more information.
The OSSD outputs turn ON after power is applied, and the receiver passes its internal self-test/synchronization and
recognizes that all beams are clear. The Trip Output also automatically resets after all beams are cleared.
WARNING:
•Use of automatic (trip) or manual (latch) start/restart
• Failure to follow these instructions could result in a serious injury or death.
• Applying power to the Banner Engineering device, clearing the defined area, or resetting a latch
condition must not initiate dangerous machine motion. Design the machine control circuitry so that
one or more initiation devices must be engaged to start the machine (a conscious act), in addition
to the Banner Engineering device going into Run mode.
3.3.2 External Device Monitoring (EDM)
The External Device Monitoring (EDM) feature allows the EZ-SCREEN LS Basic to monitor the status of external devices,
such as MPCEs. The choices are 1-channel monitoring or no monitoring. EDM is used when the EZ-SCREEN LS Basic
OSSD outputs directly control the MPCEs or other external devices.
This feature is only available when an 8-conductor interface is used.
3.3.3 Fault Output
The current sourcing (PNP) solid-state output (70 mA maximum) is used for control functions that are not safety related; a
typical use is to signal a lockout (fault) to a programmable logic controller (PLC). Available on both the receiver and emitter,
the output provides a fault signal (lockout = On). Interrupting (blocking) the sensing field is not considered a lockout, so the
Fault Output does not change state.
This feature is available only when an 8-conductor interface is used.

3.3.4 Scan Code Configuration
Use the scan code to allow operation of multiple pairs of emitters and receivers in close proximity without the effects of cross-
talk. The emitter and receiver may be configured to use one of two scan codes (1 or 2); a receiver recognizes light only from
an emitter with the same scan code. Set the scan code using the wiring on each sensor (see Scan Code Select on page
45). The scan code is configured at power-up and remains set until the input is changed and power is cycled. Both the
emitter and its corresponding receiver must have the same setting.
This feature is only available when an 8-conductor interface is used.
3.3.5 Wiring Options
The Machine Interface connection has several options, including:
• A 300 mm (1 ft) pigtail cable with an 8-pin M12 male quick disconnect (QD) (DELSE-81D)
• A 300 mm (1 ft) pigtail cable with a 5-pin M12 male quick disconnect (QD) (DELSE-51D)
• An 8-wire flying lead RD cordset (RDLS-8..D)
Each connection option is intended for maximum flexibility to solve unique application requirements such as directly
connecting the EZ-SCREEN LS Basic to remotely located safety I/O blocks. For interfacing modules or remotely located
safety I/O blocks where pin 5 of a 5-pin M12 QD is not earth ground, a 4-pin cordset where pin 5 is not physically present or
is not electrically connected can be used (such as MQDEC-406SS double-ended cordset). In such situations, earth ground
must be provided via the mounting brackets.
Additionally, an EZ-SCREEN LS Basic emitter can be connected either to its own power supply or to the receiver cable,
color-for-color. The color-for-color wiring allows the emitter and receiver positions to be interchanged (swapped) without
rewiring.

3.3.6 EZ-LIGHT®Indication
For the EZ-SCREEN LS Basic, a CSB-M128..M1281 splitter
cable and optional DEE2R-8..D double-ended cables can be
used with specific models of EZ-LIGHTs at the machine
interface connection. The EZ-LIGHT can be remotely
mounted on the machine frame or another convenient
mounting surface and provides clear, 360° indication of the
EZ-SCREEN LS Basic receiver’s OSSD output status.
