Overview
Unit structure
The PSEN opII mirror column is supplied with a protective foil. This is used to
}Protect the glass mirror during transportation
}Improve the visibility of the laser point on the laser alignment aid.

ive housing. To guarantee stability, the PSEN opII mirror column must be connected to the
floor via the flange plate or adjustable base unit, using heavy duty dowels.

Important information
PSEN opII mirror column has a dead zone on the side of the base unit (see diagram).
Calculating the dead zone:
Distance from the safety light curtain to the floor - (protected field height of safety light cur-
tain - effective protected field height of safety light curtain)/2
Make sure that the safety curtain's protected field is completely covered by the deviating
mirror.

light curtain's receiver.
Even a small displacement of the PSEN opII mirror column can cause a misalignment
and a malfunction of the safety light curtain.
6. Drill holes in the floor for the floor anchors and insert the floor anchors.

7. Connect the mirror column to the floor anchors. Attach the mirror column.
8. Use the spirit level to vertically align the safety light curtain's transmitter.
9. Place a laser alignment aid on to the safety light curtain's transmitter.
10. Rotate the safety light curtain's transmitter until the laser point strikes at the same
height as the PSEN opII mirror column.
11. Attach the safety light curtain's transmitter.
12. Remove the protective foil from the first PSEN opII mirror column.
13. Rotate the PSEN opII mirror column until the laser point strikes at the same height as
the next PSEN opII mirror column/the safety light curtain's receiver.
14. Tighten the fastening for the mirror column to the floor anchors evenly. Avoid using a
jerky motion when tightening (e.g. impact wrench).
15. Remove the protective foil from the second PSEN opII mirror column.
16. Repeat the alignment on all the deviating mirrors. Once the last deviating mirror has
been aligned, the laser point on the laser alignment aid must strike the receiver at the
same height.

– Hexagonal wrench SW 17 mm
– Spirit level
– Floor anchor ⌀10 mm (PSEN screw set mirror column, see Order reference for
accessories [ 25] or another floor anchor)
Procedure:
1. Determine the position of the protected field and the position of the safety light curtain's
transmitter and receiver.
2. Install the safety light curtain's transmitter and receiver as stated in the operating
manual for the safety light curtain.
3. Determine the position of the mirror column(s) at the edges of the protected field and
align the mirror column approximately using the markings on the base plate of the ad-
justable base unit (see diagram). Note the information given for minimum distances and
angles in the Technical details [ 21]. Mark the position of the floor anchors on the
floor.

Inspections and cleaning
Regular check
Regular checks can bring to light changes to the plant/machine, safeguards and ambient
conditions.
Pilz recommends a six monthly inspection.
Inspections should also be carried out:
}When commissioning the plant
}Any time the plant is modified
}If there is any suspicion that the mirror column is damaged
Inspection procedure
Move the test rod slowly through the protected field (see diagram):
}Between the transmitter and the first deviating mirror
}Between two deviating mirrors
}Between the second deviating mirror and the receiver

}Check the glass mirror on the PSEN opII mirror column.
– Glass mirror scratched: Exchange the PSEN opII mirror column.
– Glass mirror dirty: Clean the front panel [ 18].
In a particularly dirty environment, the glass mirror should be checked more fre-
quently for dirt.
}Check the alignment between the PSEN opII mirror column and the safety light curtain's
transmitter/receiver; where there are multiple PSEN opII mirror column units, check the
alignment to each other.
– The full light beam from the safety light curtain's transmitter must strike the deviat-
ing mirror and the full light beam reflected by the deviating mirror must strike the
safety light curtain's receiver.
Cleaning
Other than cleaning the glass mirror, the PSEN opII mirror column requires no other form of
maintenance.

WARNING!
Loss of the safety function of the PSEN opII mirror column due to the
use of improper cleaning agents
Improper cleaning agents can damage the safety light curtain and lead to
malfunctions.
– Use only the cleaning agents specified.
When cleaning, use a lint-free cotton cloth moistened with water or a 50% isopropyl solu-
tion.
Avoid using
}Other alcohols,
}Solvents,
}Cloths made of wool,
