SMARTSCAN 8000 SERIES LIGHT CURTAIN 5
CD246/080610 INSTALLATION SHEET EXPLAINED
When installing a Smartscan 8000 Series light curtain your attention is drawn to the
following: (Figure F)
3. Ensure the mounting position of the light curtain in respect to the nearest danger
point meets the requirements of European Standard EN ISO 13855.
4. Ensure the light curtain transmitter and receiver units are mounted accurately in
line with each other and are both perpendicular and parallel to each other within the
parameters shown for each axis.
1. Consider reflective surfaces that
may give rise to optically ‘short
circuiting’ the direct path of the light
curtains as shown. To ensure the
light curtain is mounted far enough
away from reflective surfaces use
the formulae provided to calculate
the minimum dimension between
the light curtain and reflective
surface.
X = minimum distance (mm) between
reflective surface and light curtain.
2. To prevent intermittent tripping of
the light curtain ensure extraneous
infra-red energy between 800 and
1000 nanometres is not directed
towards the Perspex window of the
receiver unit (RX). Extraneous
sources would include infra-red
sensors, infra-red remote controls
or scanning systems.
