The height of the protective field
depends on the size of the system
used.
The sender and receiver units of
the LGT contain a series of indi-
vidual elements which together
form a light grid of parallel beams.
If only one light beam is inter-
rupted, a switching command is
triggered which stops the machine.

purpose are described in the fol-
lowing chapters.
5.1General
The LGT can be operated in any
position as long as the specified
safety distances and sufficient pro-
tective height are provided
(see 11 selection table).
Before the unit is installed, check
the components to ensure that
they are complete:
The LGT Light Grid comprises 5
individual parts. These must always
be available before starting the in-
stallation:
1 control unit LGTN
1 sender strip LGTS
1 receiver strip LGTE
2 connecting leads (preassembled)
Test rod (30 mm) as accessory
available.
Two sensor pairs (sender and re-
ceiver) can be connected to each
control unit.
5.1.1 Safety Distance from
Hazardous Point
The protective device requires a
certain minimum distance to the
hazardous point to ensure that the
point can only be reached once the
machine or system has come to a
standstill (Fig. 7). The safety dis-
tance (as per EN 775, 999 and
294) depends on the
‡stopping time of the machine,
‡response time of the protective
device,
‡resolution of the light grid
and the reach speed.
The stopping time is a measured
value of the machine. The reach
speed is equal to
at (short distances) up to 500 mm
safety distance 2 m/s
greater than this 1.6 m/s
The safety distance S is calculated
using the formula:
Mean protection field depth
S = Safety clearance Boundary of hazardous site
Protection field boundary
Upper edge of tool
Coasting time of machine
Lower edge of tool
This value must be strictly observed
in order to prevent access behind
the protection field.

5.1.2 Distance to Reflective
Surfaces
Reflective surfaces located, placed
or mounted within the transmis-
sion and reception lobe can deflect
the light beams and may prevent an
object from being detected
(Fig. 8).
For this reason, a minimum dis-
tance abetween reflective objects
and the optical axis (straight-line
connection LGTS/E) must be ob-
served. The distance adepends on
the respective distance between
the sender and receiver and on the
alignment of the units (Fig. 9).
5.1.3 Multiple safeguarding
When using two LGT systems
(pairs), mutual interference must
be avoided between each safe-
guarded area. Since the light beams
diverge, the cross-section of the
beams increases proportionately to
the distance between the LGTS
and LGTE. The light beam must
only be received by the corre-
sponding LGTE. In order to pre-
vent mutual interference between
LGTs arranged in sequence, the
alignment must be taken into ac-
count when installing the units
(Fig. 10).

5.2 Mechanical mounting
The sender and receiver units must
not be installed rotated at 180°
angles to each other (Fig. 11).
The sender and receiver strips of
the light grid are secured in the light
screen by means of the threaded
M5 bolts or an M4 screw inserted
through the bolt hole or or the M5
bolt can be used directly (Fig. 12).
In order to ensure maximum flex-
ibility at the mounting location and
to enable light grids to be replaced
quickly, snap-on clips have been de-
veloped (Fig. 12). These can be di-
rectly screwed onto the mounting
surface. The light grids are then sim-
ply latched into place to prevent
the light grid from slipping as a re-
sult of vibration, the grid can
aditionally be secured to the clips
by means of a screw.
The control unit is screwed down
using the fixing holes provided in
the enclosure. When using the con-
trol unit without an enclosure, i.e.
mounting in a control cubicle, the
the control unit chassis is clipped di-
rectly onto a DIN rail.
To improve EMC, insulated moun-
ting on the power-driven machinery
is recommended. This can be provi-
ded by insulating (collared) washers,
for example.
Fig. 11. The sender and receiver units must
not be installed rotated at 180°angles to
each other.
5.3 Electrical installation
The preassembled connecting
leads must be used to connect
the control unit to the sender
and receiver strips. Insert the
connectors into the terminals
provided on the control unit.
(Fig. 13)
5.3.1 Connection between
the control unit and
customer interface
Depending on the type of control
unit, a supply voltage of 24 VDC
or 115/230 VAC must be pro-
vided and the unit connected in
accordance with the connection
diagram (Appendix 10).

5.3.2 Switching outputs
The control unit has four switching
outputs, each of which performs
different functions.
‡Main relay contact output
(
Fig. 14
),
‡Auxiliary relay contact output
(
Fig. 14
),
‡Protective Zone status
(PNP),
‡Contamination output
(PNP)
The main relay with positively actu-
ated contacts is the "safety" switch-
ing output of the LGT. The posi-
tively actuated contacts are moni-
tored by the control unit to ensure
that they are functioning correctly.
The auxiliary relay with its switching
output operates as a second, inde-
pendent switch-off path should the
main relay or controller fail.
We recommend fitting arc suppres-
sors to the contactors at the
outputs. This will extend the lives of
the relays in the LGTN and
suppress interference from external
sources.
The output circuits must be
provided with adequate protection
(e.g. with fuses) in accordance with
draft standard EN 50 100.
Fig. 15 shows the funktion of the
switches for setting the operating
mode of the LGTN
The status of the main and auxiliary
relays depends on the status of the
protective zone, the operating
mode "With restart interlock" or
"Without restart interlock" and the
command and test inputs.
LGTN
On variants with external mode switches:
Observe the seven-segment display during swizches.
Furthermore, floating blanking – although possible (at least in Germany) – is
not permitted. May be subject to national standards and/or risk assessment.
Before carrying out blanking again always check the functioning of all
beams (without blanking). After setting the blanking check that only the
desired beams are in fact blanked out.

5.3.3 Operating modes
The LGT Light Grid can be oper-
ated "with..." or "without restart in-
terlock". This means:
In the operating mode "without re-
start interlock", the contact inputs
for the machine control must be
bridged.
5.3.4 Machine control
The control switch is used to close
the main relay and test relay con-
tact again in operating mode "with
restart interlock" when the protec-
tive zone is clear again after an in-
terruption or after a test has been
successfully performed (Fig. 18).
The machine can then resume op-
eration.
A make contact must be connected
to the input terminal strip.
A semiconductor output provides
the exact status of the protective
zone (Fig. 16). This output has no
safety relevance.
Prot. zone free: output live
Protective zone
interrupted: no output
The light grid is monitored con-
tinuously for contamination. The
status is signalled by means of the
contamination semiconductor out-
put (Fig. 17).

With restart interlock After the protective zone has been
interrupted or a test performed, the
contact of the main and auxiliary re-
lays do not close until the machine
control has been actuated. This
means that the machine cannot
resume operation until the protective
zone is clear again and the machine
control has been actuated.
If the duration of the test signal is less
than 100 ms, it is not necessary to
actuate the machine control.
The machine control must also be
actuated after the supply voltage has
been applied in this operating mode.
Without restart interlock After the protective zone has been
interrupted or a test performed, the
contact of the main and auxiliary re-
lays close immediately after the pro-
tective zone has been cleared. It is
not necessary to actuate the machine
control. Operating modes are set via
the DIP switches on the control unit
board.

5.3.5 Test input
The test input is used to initiate a
test cycle (Fig. 19). In doing so, the
LGT including the main relay and
response time are monitored to
ensure that they are functioning
correctly. If a safety-relevant error is
detected during the test, the
switching ouputs remain open. The
machine, therefore, cannot resume
operation. A break contact must be
connected to the test input.
5.3.6 Contactor monitor
The external contactor monitor
monitors the contacts of connected
contactors to ensure that they are
do not stick (weld). These must be
connected to the LGT as shown in
the connection diagram (Fig. 20).
The contactor monitor monitors
the static rest position of the exter-
nal contactors. If a dynamic contac-
tor monitor is specified, the moni-
tor must be integrated into the
higher-order controller.

Note
Safety can only be guaranteed if the

machine controller).
Note
If the protective field is broken very
briefly, a lockout together with the
error message 14 may occur in the
case of heavily rebounding contacts
(Table, below). The "Action" col-
umn gives the required measures.
If the contact monitoring is pro-
vided by externally connected de-
vices, terminals 5 and 6 must be
bridged.

8 007 487/10-10-99 Technical Description • LGT © SICK AG • Safety Systems • Germany • All rights reserved
5.3.7 Sender power
setting
The LGT has a sender power set-
ting option to enable the sender
power to be optimally matched to
the ambient conditions and to
match the control unit to the light
grid types (more than one pair in
use). This ensures that the aperture
angle always remains below the re-
quired value of ±4°thus preventing
unnecessary load on components.
The sender power is set as follows:
1 Mount the LGT in its final posi-
tion
2 Select "Calibration" mode: set
DIP switches (Fig. 15) set to
control unit print.
3 Switch on the power supply
A digit, which depends on whether
one or two light grids are con-
nected to the control unit, then
appears on the seven-segment dis-
plays:
Left-hand display for screen1
Right-hand display for screen 2
4 Adjusting the LGT strips for
maximum value on the seven-
segment display, e.g. "8"; range-
dependent (e.g. range 6 m –
display ≥2).
5 Deactivate "Calibration" mode:
DIP switches.
Caution:
There must be no intrusion into the
protective field during the
shutdown operation.
The sender power setting is thus
stored.
Once the sender power has been
set, the LGT is set for optimum
operation at the required installa-
tion position.
Important:
The sender power must always be
reset before the unit is commis-
sioned and each time the sender
and receiver strips are replaced.
5.3.8 Blanking
If mechanical brackets for guiding
material are located in the protec-
tive zone, this area must be
blanked out. For this purpose, up
to 4 beams on the LGT can be
blanked out, i.e. they no longer
have an effect.
Attention:
Since gaps in the protective field
are produced as a result of blanking,
these gaps must be guarded by
other (e.g. mechanical) safety
devices.
The blanking is set as follows:
1 Mount the LGT in its final position
2 Switch off the power supply
3 Select "blanking" mode: DIP
switches (Fig. 15)
4 Switch on the power supply
A digit then appears on the two
seven-segment displays, depending
on whether one or two light
screens are connected to the con-
trol unit. The digit indicates the
number of beams which are
blanked. After approx. 20 seconds
the seven-segment display switches
to a flash mode with "17", and the
yellow LED in the control unit lights
up. This means that the blanking
setting is stored. It is not possible to
blank out more than
4 beams.
5 Deactivate "blanking" mode: DIP
switches.
The blanking setting is thus stored.
6 Switch off the power supply and
switch it on again or upplug the
reset jumper and re-insert it.
7 Make sender powering as
described under 5.3.7.
After the blanking setting has been
completed, the protective zone
must be checked with a test rod
(30 mm Ø).
The blanking setting also remains
stored in the event of a power
failure.
An existing blanking setting is dis-
played continuously as per Fig. 21,
bottom.

play (Fig. 25) provides information
on the status, faults, alignment,
number of blanked beams etc.
Error messages are displayed in
blinking mode.
The following information is im-
portant for fault diagnosis puposes:
After the fault has been rectified, the
control unit must be switched off and
on again. When the error has been
rectified, the control unit must be
switched off and then on again or the
reset jumper must be disconnected
and then reconnected. If contrary fault
messages are displayed on the seven-
segment display, check the connection
system. If the fault still cannot be recti-
fied, submit the unit for repair or con-
tact the SICK representative.

7 Test instructions
7.1 Pre-commissioning
tests
‡The pre-commissioning test
serves to confirm compliance
with safety requirements
specified in the national/interna-
tional regulations, in particular
the Directives governing
machinery or equipment use
(EC Declaration of Conformity).
‡Test of the efficacy of the safety
device on the machine in all
machine operating modes.
‡The personnel operating the
machine protected by the safety
device must be instructed as to
its use by qualified personnel of
the machine operating company
supplier before beginning work.
The said instruction is the
responsibility of the machine
operating company supplier.
7.2 Regular checking of the
safety device by qualified
personnel
‡Checks based on the applicable
national regulations at the
intervals specified therein. These
checks serve to reveal
modifications or manipulation of
the safety device since
commissioning.
‡The checks must be carried out
every time major changes are
made to the machine or the
safety device, as well as after
resetting or repair work in the
event of damage to the housing,
the front screen, the connecting
cables, etc.
7.3 Daily checking of the
safety device by
authorised and
instructed personnel
Run the 30 mm test rod slowly
through the protective field at three
points:
1. Protective field limits/markings
close to the sender (access
opening)
2. Protective field limits/markings
close to the receiver
3. Protective field limits in the
middle between sender and
receiver.
In the process only the red LED on
the LGTE may light up.

8Technical Data of LGT Safety Light Grid
1) A power supply unit with safeguarded isolation
(SEL V, PEL V circuit) must be used.
2) The voltage must not exceed or fall below the
limit values.
Caution: In the event of high-energy overvoltages
between DC supply and PE potential (≥ 0.5 kV)
a switch to AC supply and/or insulated mounting
of the sensor strips is recommended. In case of
interference also lay the sensor cables isolated
from the interfering cable duct.
3) Cannot be shortened.
