2.8 Functions
The system consists of a receiver and a transmitter. For the described
functions, no further switching elements are required.
The system has the following operating modes:


2.8.1 Protective mode / Automatic
The protective mode switches the OSSD outputs to the ON state
(protection field not interrupted), without external release of a switching
device.
This operating mode may only be chosen in conjunction with
the restart interlock (manual reset) of the machine.
2.8.2 Restart Interlock (operation)
The restart interlock (manual reset) prevents an automatic enabling of
the outputs (OSSD's ON state) after switch-on of the operating volt-
age or an interruption of the protection field. The system switches the
outputs only to ON state, when an external command device (restart
button) generates an enabling signal at the restart input (receiver).
2.8.3 Mode of operation - Restart Interlock - activate
When delivered (factory setting) the operating mode Protection /
Automatic is active. For the operating mode Restart Interlock, a 5 pole
connection cable is needed for the receiver.
The operating mode Restart Interlock can be activated as follows:
- Remove power from the AOPD
- Move wire-link from OSSD1 to OSSD2 (Pin 2 and 4)
- When switching on the AOPD, apply +24V to the restart input (Pin 5),
e.g. by pushing and holding down the restart interlock button of the
command device.
- The AOPD indicates the current operating mode by the number of
pulses on the integrated status indicator:
Automatic operating mode = cyclic display of a pulse and pulse
interval (red)
Restart interlock operating mode = cyclic display of two pulses and
pulse interval (red)
- Quickly pressing changes the operating mode (100 ms < t < 1500
ms). The number of displayed light pulses (red) indicates the selected
mode of operation.
- Keeping the restart button pressed stores the current mode of opera-
tion. This action is confirmed by the signal lamp rapidly flashing.
Continue to hold down the restart button (for about another three
seconds) until the AOPD has returned to its selected mode of opera-
tion (flashing the operation mode). To start the AOPD in the new mode
remove power from the AOPD, remove the wire link between OSSD1
and OSSD2, and then reconnect power.
The command devices (enabling button) must be installed
outside of the hazardous area. The operator must have
a clear view on the hazardous area when actuating the
enabling button.
2.9 Self-test
The system performs a complete self-test and safety test within 2 sec-
onds after the operating voltage has been switched on. If the protection
field is free, the system switches to the ON condition (automatic mode).
In case of an error, the outputs at the receiver do not switch to the ON
state.
During operation, the system executes a cyclic self-test. Safety-relevant
faults are detected within the reaction time and cause the outputs to be
switched off.

3.2 Protection field and approach
The protection field of the SLC/SLG consists of the entire range located
between the protection field markings of transmitter and receiver.
Additional protective devices must ensure that the operator has to pass
by the protection field to reach the hazardous machine parts.
The SLC/SLG must be installed so that the personnel is always located
within the detection zone of the safety device when operating the
hazardous machine parts to be secured.
Correct installation
Hazardous machine parts can only be reached
after passing through the protection field.
The presence of staff members between the
protection field and hazardous machine parts
must be prevented/avoided (protection against
stepping over).
Unauthorised installation
Hazardous machine parts can be reached
without passing through the protection field.
The presence of staff members between the
protection field and hazardous machine parts
is enabled.

3.3 Alignment of the sensors
Procedure:
1. Transmitter and receiver must be fitted parallel to each other and at
the same height.
2. Choose the operating mode "Automatic" (see chapter Protective
mode/automatic) and switch the operating voltage on.
3. First rotate the transmitter, then the receiver to each other until the
integrated status indicator lights up green. Adjust the transmitter
and receiver so that they are in the middle of the angular range for a
green indication. Fix the position with the two screws for each
mounting bracket.
3.4 Setting mode
3.4.1 Setting mode with cable connection 5-pole
If +24 V is on the input (Pin 5, receiver) "Release restart" at system
start for at least two seconds (by pressing the button restart), the
system changes over to the setting mode of operation.
In this mode the signal strength of the beam is signalled to the status
indicator with the lowest value through light pulses (colour yellow).
The better the alignment, the higher the frequency of the light pulses.
The alignment is correct when the light pulses switch over to
continuous light.
If there is no optical synchronisation between the transmitter and the
receiver, a light pulse is emitted every three seconds. The setting mode
is ended by a system start ( +UB OFF/ON).
3.4.2 Setting mode with cable connection 4-pole
1) Receiver connection, connect Pin 1 (24V DC) with Pin 2 (OSSD 1).
2) Receiver supply voltage ON
3) Status indicator signals (yellow):
- No alignment present: A light pulse every 3 sec.;
- Alignment signal present: Higher frequency light pulse;
- Alignment optimal: Light pulse is continuous ON
(fix sensors)
4) Receiver supply voltage OFF
5) Remove wire link Pin 1 and Pin 2
6) Receiver supply voltage ON
(Setting mode deactivated)
3.5 Safety distance
The safety distance is the minimum distance between the protection
field of the safety light curtain and the hazardous area. The safety
distance must be observed to ensure that the hazardous area cannot
be reached before the hazardous movement has come to standstill.
Calculation of the safety distance to EN ISO 13855
and EN ISO 13857
The safety distance depends on the following elements:

Safety light curtain SLC440COM
The safety distance for resolutions 14 mm up to 40 mm is calculated by
means of the following formula:
(1) S = 2000 mm/s * T + 8 (d - 14) [mm]
S = Safety distance [mm]
T = Total reaction time (machine run-on time, reaction time of the safety
guard, relays, etc.)
d = Resolution of the safety light curtain

500 mm after the calculation of the safety distance, then use this value.
If value S >= 500 mm, recalculate the distance:
(2) S = 1600 mm/s * T + 8 (d - 14) [mm]
If the new value S > 500 mm, use this value as safety distance.
If the new value S < 500 mm, use a minimum distance of 500 mm.
Example:
Reaction time of the safety light curtain = 10 ms
Resolution of the safety light curtain = 14 mm
Stopping time of the machine = 330 ms
S = 2000 mm/s * (330 ms + 10 ms) + 8(14 mm - 14 mm)
S = 680 mm
S = > 500 mm, therefore new calculation with V = 1600 mm/s
S = 544 mm

The formulae and calculation examples are related to the vertical set-up
(refer to drawing) of the safety light grid with regard to the hazardous
point. Please observe the applicable harmonised EN standards and
possible applicable national regulations.
The safety distance between the safety light curtain / light
grid and the hazardous point must always be respected and
observed. If a person reaches the hazardous point before the
hazardous movement has come to a standstill, he or she is
exposed to serious injuries.
To calculate the minimum distances of the safety guards
with regards to the hazardous point, the EN ISO 13855 and
EN ISO 13857 must be observed.
If an overlap of the protection field is possible, take care with
the calculation of the safety distance referring to additional
CRO according to the table A1 as per norm EN ISO 13855.
3.5.1 Minimum distance to reflecting surfaces
During the installation, the effects of reflecting surfaces must be taken
into account. In case of an incorrect installation, interruptions of the
protection field could possibly not be detected, which could lead to
serious injuries. The hereafter-specified minimum distances with regard
to reflecting surfaces (metal walls, floors, ceilings or parts) must be
imperatively observed.

5. Set-up and maintenance
5.1 Check before start-up
Prior to start-up, the following items must be checked by the responsi-
ble person.
Wiring check prior to start-up
1. The voltage supply is a 24V direct current power supply (see techni-
cal specifications), which meets the CE Directives, Low Voltage
Directives. A power downtime of 20 ms must be bridged.
2. Presence of a voltage supply with correct polarity at the SLC/SLG.
3. The connecting cable of the transmitter is correctly connected to the
transmitter and the connecting cable of the receiver correctly to the
receiver.
4. The double insulation between the light curtain output and an exter-
nal potential is guaranteed.
5. The outputs OSSD1 and OSSD2 are not connected to +24 VDC.
6. The connected switching elements (load) are not connected to +24
VDC.
7. If two or more SLC/SLG units are used within close range to each
other, an alternating arrangement must be observed. Any mutual
interference of the systems must be prevented.
Switch the SLC/SLG on and check the operation in the following
way:
The component performs a system test during approx. 2 seconds after
the operating voltage has been switched on. After that, the outputs are
enabled if the protection field is not interrupted. The status indication at
the receiver is on.
In case of incorrect functionality, please follow the
instructions listed in the chapter Fault diagnostic.
5.2 Maintenance
Do not use the SLC/SLG before the next inspection is
terminated. An incorrect inspection can lead to serious
and mortal injuries.
Conditions
For safety reasons, all inspection results must be archived. The operat-
ing principle of the SLC/SLG and the machine must be known in order
to be able conducting an inspection. If the fitter, the planning technician
and the operator are different persons, please make sure that the user
has the necessary information at his disposal to be able conduct the
maintenance.

5.3 Regular check
A regular visual inspection and functional test, including the following
steps, is recommended:
1. The component does not have any visible damages.
2. The optics cover is not scratched or soiled.
3. Hazardous machinery parts can only be accessed by passing
through the protection field of the SLC/SLG.
4. The staff remains within the detection area, when works are con-
ducted on hazardous machinery parts.
5. The safety distance of the application exceeds the mathematically
calculated one.
Operate the machine and check whether the hazardous movement
stops under the hereafter-mentioned circumstances.
1. Hazardous machine parts do not move when the protection field is
