Introduction

System Safety. The Model SS employs redundant,
and diverse technology that provides a backup for every
system that could cause an unsafe condition.
In the Emitter pylon, 1 CPU drives the Infrared LED’s
while the 2nd CPU monitors to assure proper signals and
timing. Improper operation from either CPU will turn off
the Infrared LED’s.
In the Receiver pylon, 1 CPU drives the Infrared receivers while the 2nd CPU monitors to assure proper signals
and timing. Both CPU’s are required to drive the solid
state outputs as well as monitor the condition of the output. Either CPU can shut down both solid state outputs.
Signals shared between CPU’s are isolated from each
other to prevent a failure of 1 microprocessor causing
a failure in the 2nd. Watchdog circuits on the solid state
outputs automatically shut off the outputs should either
CPU slow down or lock up.
Solid state outputs are turned on separately to be
checked to make sure neither output has been shorted,
before fully turning on.

The Model SS is an Infrared safety light curtain that is
designed to the IEC 61496 standard. When properly
installed, it protects the machine operator by passing
an invisible infrared light beam across an area to be
guarded and examining whether or not the light beam(s)
are blocked. If the light beam(s) are blocked, monitored
solid state outputs will open, issuing a “STOP” command
to the machines normally closed (N.C.) “STOP” circuit.
The System is composed of a transmitting unit (EMITTER), and a receiving unit (RECEIVER). The entire
system is control reliable Category 4 (Must be installed
with a control reliable safety circuit per IEC 61496) in
that a single fault anywhere within the Model SS will
not prevent at least one of the solid state outputs from
opening up (allowing a “STOP” command) when either
a beam is broken or an internal fault occurs.
Theory of operation. The Model SS protects an area
by projecting a curtain of infrared light. The infrared
emitters and receivers face each other across the field
to be protected. Each emitter/receiver pair is spaced
along the length of the pylons at regular intervals from
.5”, up to 8” depending on the application. The smaller
spacing are for finger guarding, the larger spacing are
for body guarding.
The emitter/receiver pairs are scanned sequentially (one
at a time) by a very short pulse of infrared light starting
from bottom (cable end), and working up to the top, until
every beam pair has been scanned. Two 16 bit computers in the emitter pylon and two 16 bit computers in the
receiver pylon control the operation, as well as cross
check each pylon.

Safety Features. Designed to meet IEC 61496, UL
1998, UL subject 491, OSHA, ANSI
Microprocessor redundancy for both Emitter and Receiver pylons
Redundant, monitored, 24vdc solid state outputs
Watchdogs on CPU’s and outputs prevent unintentional
output during lockups.

The System. The Model SS employs infrared technology in a small sealed NEMA 4 aluminum housing with
a infrared passing (daylight filtering) acrylic lens. This
system provides harmless invisible protection and an
unobstructed view of the guarded area. There are two
parts to the Model SS: An Emitter pylon and A Receiver
pylon. The Emitter pylon has no outputs, but does contain a digital CAN data network to allow it to be linked
to the Receiver pylon (although not required for operation). The Receiver pylon contains the digital CAN data
network and two monitored solid state 24vdc outputs.
Both pylons synchronize to each other either via the
CAN data network or the bottom beam (beam closest
the cable).

Standard Features
DIN-rail Controller Module

Solid State Outputs (OSSD)
Description:
Two optically isolated solid state PNP outputs (.25A
output max each). Each output is monitored to assure
that 24vdc is not present when the output is turned
OFF, and is present when turned ON.
Output Configuration:
Same States: Output1 (blue wire) & Output2 (brown
wire) are both 24vdc PNP N.O. “held closed” (24vdc
when Green).
Operation:
Same States: When the guard is GREEN, both Outputs
are ON (24vdc out). When the guard is RED, Faulted,
or not powered, both Outputs are OFF.
Output Testing:
Same States: Before the guard goes GREEN, Output1
is turned ON first and Output2 (which is still OFF) is
monitored for voltage on its output. If Output2 is found
OFF, then Output2 is turned ON. This takes ~20mSec
between Output1 and 2 turning back ON.

Never use Outputs 1 & 2 to
control standard relays, contactors, or valves!
Always wire Outputs 1 & 2 to Safety Relays (EDM
option must be enabled), Safety Relay Module (like
the SSSR), or a “Control Reliable” Safety PLC (like
the Pinnacle Safety Hub).

Digital CAN data network
Description: Twisted pair data network designed for high
electrical noise environments. Allows the Receiver pylon
to talk to a remote operating device as well as the Emitter
pylon. You should link the Emitter and Receiver pylon via
CAN if you are powering up both pylons from the same
supply. This eliminates the need for a sync channel (the
bottom beam used to synchronize the pylons).
Operation: When the Emitter and Receiver pylons are
connected together via this network, the Emitter pylon
becomes digitally linked to the Receiver pylon. The
Emitter pylon synchronizes via the CAN data network
to the Receiver pylon instead of using the bottom beam
(beam closest the cable). Pylon status is displayed on
both pylons.

External Device Monitor (EDM)
Description:
Allows the SS to monitor a pair of low cost external Safety
Relays as opposed to the more expensive Safety Relay
Module (SSSR).
Wiring:
Wire the N.C. force-guided contact of each of the pair of
Safety Relays in series. Wire Ground to one side and the
other to the SS EDM input wire (ORANGE).
(See 28-141 Drawing for details).
Operation:
The SS EDM input must be at GROUND when the curtain
is RED (blocked or faulted), and OPEN when the curtain is
GREEN (clear). If either external Safety Relay output contact
remains closed, the SS EDM input will remain Open and a
fault will occur when the curtain is RED. This fault will open
up the remaining Safety Relay contact and lockout.

Manual Latching Reset (MLR)
Description:
Manual Latching Reset can be achieved 3 different ways: 1)
Using the SSSR relay module itself to latch/reset its outputs
(but the status lights on the pylon will not reflect the status
of the SSSR module. 2) Enable the Latching feature of any
RSD (Remote Status Display) module, with a jumper. (Follow
instructions for the RSD on page A-3). 3) Order the built in
Latching feature. ( Note If an RSD is plugged in, the RSD
overrides the built in latching).
When this feature is activated, the guard will stay in a RED
condition when blocked, even when the blockage is removed.
Wiring:
Wire a N.O. push button between GROUND and the SS MLR
input wire (PINK) (see 38-040 Drawing)
Operation:
Clear the guard of blockage and push/release the MLR
button. This will reset the guard as long as the curtain is
properly aligned (no blockage) and no faults.
To temporarily disable the built-in latching option (for
alignment purposes) you need to plug in the optional Remote
Status Display (RSD) with AutoBlank device. Cycling the
AutoBlack key from OFF to Mode 3 and back to OFF will
disable Latching. Unplugging the RSD will restore Latching.
As of Nov 2013, If you need to temporarily bypass the built in
Latching feature without an RSD, do the following: Disconnect
the ORG wire from your Safety Relays, Hold in the Relay
Reset Button (Ground the Pink wire), and turn on the power
to the Guard and wait for a solid RED light (after the power up
sequence). Now reconnect the ORG wire back to the Safety
Relays, then un-Ground the Pink wire. The Guard will now be
- A - 2 - in AUTO Relay reset mode until you cycle power.

Optional Features
Model SS Safety Light Curtain

Remote Status Display (RSD)
Description: Allows AutoBlank and/or FloatingBlank optional features to be added to the Model SS.
Includes a four character diagnostics / status display.
Operation:
Allows you to view current feature modes and status as well as fault conditions.
The Yellow status light indicates when you are in any blanking mode.
Manual Latching Reset:
Install jumper on the left 2 vertical pins of J2, to enable Manual latching reset feature.
Install a N.O. push button between J4 (right terminal) and +24vdc.
To reset after blocking the guard, you must clear the guard then push the N.O. button.
Cincinnati Interface (manual output Test):
If you apply +24vdc to Pin 1 of J4 (left terminal), the display will show a “CINN” and force the “RED” shutting down
both outputs 1 & 2.
This allows a remote device to manually check that both outputs can and will shut OFF.

remain in its exact location permanently. This
works like Mode 1 except guard penetrations
will not latch in a RED condition.

Description: Allows user to program the exact size and
location of an object (i.e., a conveyor, table, work piece,
etc.) automatically and can detect any movement in the
object causing the light curtain to shut down.
Application: With the obstruction in place, turn the
key switch from “OFF” to any mode of operation. If the
object(s) do not exceed the total allowable size, the unit
will energize the safety outputs.
Standard Operation: If the obstruction is moved or
removed, the unit will issue a “MOVE” fault, but will
re-energize the safety outputs when the obstruction
is returned to the original position. Standard operation
allows for a total of eight beams to be blocked anywhere
in the curtain (they do not have to be next to each other).
Optional Operation: If the obstruction is moved or
removed, the unit will issue a “MOVE” fault and lockup,
requiring you to re-program the obstruction.
Troubleshooting: If you get a “MOVE” fault when
the obstruction did not move, it is possible that you
are just barely covering a beam and either vibration or
reflections are causing the beam to become uncovered.
The uncovered beam then causes a fault.
To Activate Feature: This feature must be ordered and
requires exchanging the computer chips (see Installation
Procedures, “Controller Module Setup”).

3)Mode 2 with floating blank. This mode works
like Mode 2 with the addition of a Floating Blank
which is set to allow a one beam float (see
Optional Features, Floating Blank”).
If no obstructions were
programmed in, the guard will still allow a one
beam float.
Programming: To program, turn the keyswitch into the
OFF/RESET position and place the obstruction(s) in the
guarded area. Now, turn the keyswitch into the desired
mode of operation. The exact size and location of the
object(s) are now in memory. The Depth Penetration
Factor D(pf) must be set to account for the one beam
float (see Optional Features, “Floating Blank”).

MOVE Auto Blank obstruction moved.

Leave key switch in OFF/RESET
position while installing, setting up, and testing the
light curtain. Use Auto Blank only after you are
able to get a clear signal from the curtain with no
obstruction.
The term “Auto Blank” is an abbreviation which stands
for Automatic Programmable Beam Blanking. Auto
Blanking is controlled by a multi-position keyswitch and
has three distinct modes of operation:

Place Auto Blank keyswitch into
OFF/RESET position and remove any obstructions
while aligning light curtain. Do not use Auto Blank
until light curtain is correctly aligned (see Installation
Procedures, “Alignment Procedure”).

1)Must be reset if auto blank obstruction
moves or guard penetrated. The AUTO
BLANK obstruction must remain in its exact
location permanently. Any movement in the
AUTO BLANK obstruction and/or additional
guard penetration will latch the light curtain
in a RED condition and must be reset via the
keyswitch.

The keyed selector switch is designated to be
supervisory controlled. After installation, the safety key
should be removed and controlled only by the safety
supervisor or authorized plant personnel.

NOTE: If no obstructions were programmed in, the
guard will still latch in a RED condition should the
guard be penetrated.
2)Must be reset if auto blank obstruction
moves. The Auto Blank obstruction must

Floating Blank
Description: On a press brake, the Floating Blank permits
the work piece to be placed in the guarded area and can
be moved around as long as it does not exceed the object
sensitivity selected. A keyswitch by default allows for
zero, one, two, or three beams to be blocked anywhere
in the curtain as long as all the blocked beams are next
to each other. The customer may request different
blanking sizes for different applications. The Minimum
Object Sensitivity (MOS) and the Depth Penetration
Factor (DPF) change when the key switch position
is changed. The DPF is used to compute the safety
distance.
Location of the light curtain from the point of operation
must include the depth penetration factor D(pf)
equivalent to the beam spacing.
Minimum Object Sensitivity indicates the minimum
size required to cause the light curtain to detect an
object even if it is moving (floating). If the obstruction is
slightly smaller (less than .25”) than the stated number,
the light curtain may blink RED/GREEN when the
object is moving in the field of view. If the obstruction
is smaller than the stated number by at least .25”, then
the light curtain will stay GREEN as long as there are
no additional obstructions.
Depth Penetration Factor is the number used to
compute the distance the light curtain should be placed
from the point of operation (see Installation Procedures,
“ANSI Standard B11.19-2010”).

RDY
Keyswitch is in the lowest position (Floating
Blank is off).
FB
Indicates Floating Blank active and the
number of blocked beams.
OBST A second object found in the curtain (only
one obstruction is allowed to float).

Application: Provides the Model SS with (2) controlreliable N.O. (held closed) dry contacts which allows
switching up to 240vac, and also daisy chaining Model
SS guards in series with other Safety Guarding devices.

Place Floating Blank keyswitch
in lowest position and remove any obstructions
while aligning light curtain. Do not use Floating
Blank until light curtain is correctly aligned (see
Installation Procedure, “Alignment Procedures”).
The keyed selector switch is designated to be
supervisory controlled. After installation, the safety
key should be removed and controlled only by the
safety supervisor or authorized plant personnel.

Operation: When using the Model #SSSR Safety Relay
Module, see page A-15 for wiring a diagram, and make
sure to Delete the –EDM option when ordering your
Model SS
When using (2) 52-278 Safety Relays, see page A-14 for
a wiring diagram and make sure to INCLUDE the –EDM
option when ordering your Model SS

Installation Procedures
Model SS Safety Light Curtain
4) MOUNT: Mount both pylons with the connector end
in the same direction (either up or down) across the
hazardous area at a distance from the hazardous point
of operation, equal to or greater than the calculated
safety distance (step 2)

The entire machine safety system must be tested at the start of every
shift. Machine testing should include: 1) Proper
machine verification of proper installation and
settings of all point of operation guards and devices before operation is released for production.

5) CONTROL PANEL: Mount 24vdc supply and “Safety
Relay Module” inside your control panel. Both EMITTER
and RECEIVER pylons require 24vdc power. Only the
RECEIVER pylon requires the “Safety Relay Module”

The Model SS should be mounted in a manner
so that only authorized personnel can change the
mounting or location, and that the safety distance
is recalculated each time its position is changed.

6) MIRRORS: Use mirrors to turn a corner 90deg or
more, but no less. If you are using pedestals, do not
permanently mount them until you have finished the
installation procedure. When you have finished aligning
the pylons and can achieve a GREEN indicator, bolt the
stands to the floor. Make sure the bottom edge of the
mirror(s) are below the bottom beam of the curtain and
the top edge of the mirror(s) are above the top beam
of the curtain.

Additional mechanical guards may be required to
prevent the operator from standing between, reaching
over, under, or around the light curtain to the hazardous point of operation.

7) WIRING: Connect the EMITTER & RECEIVER pylon ground wires together to the power supply ground
(black). Connect the EMITTER & RECEIVER pylon
24vdc wires together to the power supply 24vdc output
(red). Connect the EMITTER & RECEIVER pylon CAN
wires together and to the Remote Status Display (RSD)
if applicable (white to white & green to green).Connect
both RECEIVER solid state outputs to the “Safety Relay
Module” inputs (as stated by the manufacture of the
module. Wire the “Safety Relay Module” safety outputs
into your machines “STOP” circuit(s) (Please refer to
page A-10 for wiring details).

Other infrared sources (i.e. other light curtains, etc) can
interfere with operation and prevent the light curtain
from properly aligning and giving a GREEN indication.
Make sure that the RECEIVER pylon cannot view other
infrared Emitters (except its own EMITTER pylon).

Shock Mount the pylons if
they are to be directly mounted onto a high vibration
machine.

8) SYSTEM CHECK: Check the curtains field of view
with a round test piece (dowel rod) that has a diameter
equal to the minimum object sensitivity of the curtain
(see Specifications section). Move the test piece up and
down the curtains field of view to make sure the curtain
stays RED the entire time and that you cannot run your
machine while the curtain is RED.

The Model SS is a low voltage (24vdc) low current
device. Make sure to keep Model SS wiring away from
high voltage / high current components and/or wiring.

1) TEST: Before installation, test curtain by connecting the EMITTER & RECEIVER power together to a
24vdc supply. Point the pylons toward each other
and verify a GREEN indicator light when clear and a
RED when blocked. (see Appendix A for Diagnostics
& Troubleshooting)

If you get a GREEN indication
while the test piece is within the curtains field of view,
this may be due to any of the reasons: a) an incorrectly
sized test piece. b) The Floating Blank option is enabled.
c) There is a reflection from adjacent reflective material.
In this case you must relocate the curtain away from this
material and check again.

2) SAFETY DISTANCE: Determine the Safety Distance for the light curtain (distance from the nearest
hazardous point to the curtain field) based on light
curtain and machine response times (see ANSI Standard B11.19 2003 section)
3) SHOCK/VIBRATION: Determine if any part of
the MicroGuard is to be directly subjected to either
excessive shock and/or vibration. If so, mounted the
subjected parts to your equipment using shock-mount
devices (such as Part#21-019). Shock and/or Vibration
damage is not covered under warranty.

8) ADDITIONAL GUARDS: Install additional mechanical
guards to prevent anyone from getting to the hazardous
point of operation by reaching around, over or under the
light curtain. Also, to prevent anyone from getting in between the curtain and the hazardous point of operation,
install horizontal light curtains or safety mats.

Installation Procedures
Model SS Safety Light Curtain

Aligning Pylons

Aligning Mirrors (refer to Figure 3)

Mechanically line up the pylons so they are looking
straight at each other. Twist the pylons to find the
center of their sweet spot (the point at which you get
a solid GREEN indicator). If you are trying to run the
pylons close to the maximum operating distance, you
may have to tip one end of the Emitter pylons to get a
GREEN indication.

Every mirror you add reduces the maximum operating
distance by 10%-15% and also increases the difficulty
of alignment. Because of the width of the mirrors and
the shoulders of the aluminum extrusion that protect the
mirror, you cannot turn a corner less than 90°.
The vertical height of the mirror with respect to the
vertical height of the pylons should be such that the
mirror matches the beam area of the pylons. You should
have some mirror showing above the top beam and
below the bottom beam.
All mirrors and pylons should be plumb. You should be
able to stand in front of one of the pylons, look straight
ahead, and see the other pylon through the center(s) of
the mirror(s). Depending on what the diagnostics display
reads, you may have to tip one end of the mirror to get
the remaining blocked beams to come in.

Installation Procedures
Model SS Safety Light Curtain

Operations
Never use Outputs 1 & 2 to
control standard relays, contactors, or valves!
Examine the Model SS on a
daily basis to make sure that the curtain pylons have
not been moved and that any mechanical guarding has
not been moved or removed.

Always wire Outputs 1 & 2 to Safety Relays (EDM
option must be enabled), Safety Relay Module (like
the SSSR), or a “Control Reliable” Safety PLC (like
the Pinnacle Safety Hub).

If it is possible for someone to go through the light
curtain and remain between the curtain and the hazard
without blocking the curtain, you must wire your “Safety
Relay Module” for manual reset, or install a safety mat
or horizontal light curtain to guard this area.

1) APPLY POWER: The curtain (both pylons) will go
through a power up test. First, both Yellow and Green
lights blink 1 time. This indicates the Master and Slave
processors are functioning properly. Second, both Yellow and Green lights blink 2 times. This indicates Master
and Slave are now in sync with each other.
2) SYNCHRONIZATION: The curtain will now determine if the CAN data network is installed. Third, The
Green lights will blink: 2 times for infrared synchronization between pylons, 3 times for CAN data network synchronization between pylons. If infrared synchronization
is used, the Yellow status light on the Emitter pylon will
be on (dim) all the time, with the Red status light blinking periodically, the Receiver pylon will indicate output
status. If the CAN data network is used, the Emitter
status lights will indicate the current pylon output status
(just like the Receiver side).
3) STATUS INDICATORS: Solid Green=Curtain clear
(no blockage, or faults) and outputs active (+24vdc out).
Solid Red=Curtain blocked and outputs off (open). Solid
Yellow= Curtain in either AutoBlank or FloatingBlank
modes. Blinking lights indicate a fault condition and
the outputs will be off (open) (see Fault Codes section)

ANSI Standard B11.19-2010
Formula for calculating safety distance
of light curtains from hazardous point of
operation.

The following formula should be used when calculating
the safety distance:
Ds = K x (Ts + Tc + Tr + Tbm) + D(pf)
Ds =

The effective sensing field of the device shall be located
at a distance from the nearest recognized hazards such
that the operator or others cannot reach the hazard with a
hand or other body part before cessation of motion during
the hazardous portion of the machine cycle.
The point at which a device responds to an intrusion may
vary. The devices should be located or adjusted such
that the device always responds to the intrusion at or prior
to the safety distance. Care should be exercised when
installing the device to ensure that it does not detect false
signals from other devices in the area.
Usually the electro-optical presence-sensing device is
used in a manner that provides a protected zone in front
of the primary work area with auxiliary devices or guards
used to protect secondary access areas. In some cases,
however, mirrors may be used in conjunction with the
device to provide 2-, 3-, or 4-sided protection.
The machine stop time should be measured with the
machine running at its fastest speed with its heaviest die
or tooling and the stop time being measured at the 90°
position in the downstroke.

Figure 4: Minimum Object Sensitivity (S) and D(pf)

Minimum safety distance between the
device and the nearest point of operation
hazard (in inches).

K =

Hand speed constant. This value has
been determined by various studies and,
although these studies indicate speeds of
63 in/sec to over 100 in/sec, they are not
conclusive determinations. The employer
should determine this value by considering
all factors, including physical ability of the
operator.

Ts =

Stop time of the machine tool measured by a
stop time measurement device.

Tc =

Response time of the control system (usually
is taken care of by the measurement device).

Tr =

Response time of the presence-sending
device and it’s interface, if any, as stated
by the manufacturer or measured by the
employer.

Tbm =

Additional time allowed for the brake monitor
to compensate for variations in normal
stopping time.

D(pf) =

Depth Penetration Factor. Added distance as
indicated by Figure 2. The minimum object
sensitivity is stated by the manufacturer. If a
Floating Blank is used, use the Dpf numbers
found in the Floating Blank section of this
manual.

Penetration factor, Dpf, for presence-sensing
devices used in a vertical application with object
sensitivity less than 64 mm (2.5 inches)

Minimum
Object
Sensitivity
(S)

Dpf, the distance added to the safety distance due
to the penetration factor compensates for varying
object sensitivities of electro-optical presence-sensing
devices.
When blanking features are used and when the
blanked area is not completely filled by the workpiece
or part, or by mechanical guarding, the minimum
object sensitivity can be calculated as:

Dpf = 3.4 (S-7) mm
(Dpf = 3.4 (S-0.275) in)

Minimum Object Sensitivity (S) = Size of the blanked
area plus minimum object sensitivity without blanking.
Read and fully
understand this manual.
Failure to do so could
result in death or
serious injury.

Once this value is found, then determine Dpf.
If the entire blanked area is filled with mechanical
guarding or other fixed material or guards, use the
device’s object sensitivity to determine Dpf.

Installation Procedures
Model SS Safety Light Curtain

Safeguarding with Mechanical Guards
When a light system is used to protect the operator or
passerby from penetration, it must be mounted and
properly sized (grid length) so it is impossible to reach
under, around, or over into the hazardous point of
operation zone. Infrared light systems normally guard
the front or feed area of a machine. The sides or the
areas where the light screen does not guard must be
guarded by some other means.
If the position of the safety light curtain will allow the
operator or others to place themselves between the
sensing field and the hazardous area, auxiliary guards or
devices such as safety mats, barrier guards, or devices
should be used in conjunction with the safety light
curtain to prevent the operator or others from exposure
to the hazardous area. If mechanical guards such as
polyurethane, expanded or perforated metal, hairpins,
etc. are used to guard these areas, the opening must
comply with the OSHA safety distance in relationship
to the openings.
After installation of point of operation guards and before
a job is released for operation, a check should be made
to verify that the guard will prevent the operators hands
from reaching into the point of operation or any hazard
zone.
Table 2 outlines the distances that guards should be
positioned from the nearest point-of-operation hazards.
The various openings are such that for average-sized
hands, an operator’s fingers will not reach the point of
operation.
After installation of point-of-operation guards and before
a job is released for operation, a check should be made
to verify that the guard will prevent the operator’s hands
or other body parts from reaching the point of operation.

Light Curtain Test Procedure
Use a dowel rod (or similar object) with a diameter equal
to the M.O.S. (Minimum Object Sensitivity) of the guard
you are testing. Move the rod through the field of the curtain (i.e. top to bottom for vertically mounted curtains).
Repeat this test close to the Emitter pylon, close to the
Receiver pylon, in the middle between the pylons, and
most importantly in front of the operator position.
Make sure the curtain indicates a “Blocked” condition
(RED light) when the rod is in the field of the curtain.
Check and make sure the machine cannot move when
the curtain shows “Blocked”. If the machine can operate while the curtain shows a “Blocked” condition, then
re-examine your wiring.

Always use both safety relays
in your STOP circuit(s).

If the curtain does not show “Blocked” when the rod is
in the field: Check to make sure the rod is truly in the
curtain’s field, and re-check the curtain’s Minimum Object Sensitivity (including AutoBlank and Floating blank
options that change the M.O.S.).
Infrared light from the curtain may be reflecting around
the rod due to reflective material too close to the curtain’s field. In this case, you will have to move the curtain
pylons back away from the reflective material and repeat
the test over again. The curtain’s power level can also
be reduced by the factory.

Installation Procedures
Model SS Safety Light Curtain

Wiring Safety Relays or a Safety Relay

Module

The SS guard can be wired to individual Safety Relays
with the EDM option, or to the more flexible Safety
Relay Module.

The Model Number SSSR Safety Relay Module has two
internal Safety Relays inside and has built-in circuitry
to check for contact welding. The SSSR Module also
allows for Automatic or Manual Relay resetting. If you
choose to wire your guard using this Module, follow
the 28-142 wiring diagram page and Table 3 below.
See manufactures instructions provided with the SSSR
Module for further details regarding the SSSR. See
Table 3 for wiring.

The Model SS and Model CA light curtains do not
require mechanical safety relays if you connect both
solid-state SS/CA outputs (both Blue and Brown wires)
to separate inputs on a control-reliable safety PLC.
This configuration does not require the EDM option.

The Part Number 52-278 Safety Relay is a lower cost
alternative to the SSSR Module, but requires two 52278 Safety Relays and does not allow you to select
automatic or manual relay resetting in the field and so
requires you to choose auto/manual when you order
your light curtain. Also, the Part Number 52-278 does
not self-check and so requires you to order your light
curtain with the EDM option. If you choose to wire the
Part Number 52-278 Safety Relays follow the 28-141
wiring diagram using two Part Number 52-278 relay/
socket assemblies. Mount them on a DIN-rail in your
control panel.

Cornering Mirrors
Through the use of cornering mirrors, multiple sides or
work envelopes can be guarded which enhance safety
and down-time related to mechanical and electrical
interlock systems. Include a reflectivity loss per mirror
(15% for MGM, 10% for TRM) when calculating total
scanning distance of light curtain.

Mirrors are surface coated.
Wipe surface using only a damp, clean, soft 100%
cotton cloth. To replace broken or scratched glass,
remove end bracket and slide mirror out with gasket.

If you are using Auto Blank
or Floating Blank options, you may unknowingly
create a hole around your machine. Do not use
mirrors with blanking unless you need blanking on
all guarded sides.

Diagnostics & Troubleshooting
Model SS Safety Light Curtain
Flashing LED(s) indicate a fault has occurred. To
find the fault you must count the number of flashes.
If multiple faults have occurred, the lowest number
flashed first, followed by the next higher number, after
the last fault is flashed the cycle starts over again.

The “Remote Status
Display” will show the actual fault message instead
of flashing LEDs.

Problem:

Yellow LED is ON steady on
Emitter pylon. Red LED flashes
every few seconds.

Solution:

The CAN data lines (white &
green wires) from both RX and TX
pylons are not connected together.

The SS guard has gone into bottom beam
synchronization mode where the RX and TX
pylons do not need to by wired together.

Problem:

No output on 1 or both of the
Safety Outputs (blue and/or brown
wires) are not reading 24vdc when
the guard is GREEN.

Solution:

Check RX pylon wiring. Check
RX pylon internal fuse. Allow unit
to cool down, remove Outputs

by the presence-sensing device.

Control Reliability
“...control circuits shall be designed and constructed so
that a single failure or fault within the system does not
prevent the normal stopping action from being applied
to the press when required, or does not create an
unintended stroking action, but does prevent initiation of
a successive stroke until the failure is corrected” (ANSI
B11.1-2009).

1910.217 (C) (3) (iii)
Additional requirements for safeguarding
Where the operator feeds or removes parts by placing
one or both hands in the point of operation, and a two

“...control circuits shall incorporate features to minimize
the possibility of an unintended stroke in the event of
the failure of the control component to function properly,
including relays, limit switches, and static output circuits”
(ANSI B11.1-2009).

should be assigned to work on or with any
machine.
9. It shall be the responsibility of the employer
to provide an adequate, clean, safe, and
uncluttered work area around each machine.
10. If a malfunction is reported, stop the machine
immediately, correct the problem, then resume
production.

“...control system shall be constructed so that a failure
within the system does not prevent the normal stopping
action from being applied to the press when required,
but does prevent initiation of a successive stroke until
the failure is corrected” (ANSI B11.1-2009).

11. Investigate all accidents and close calls.
Analyze the reason for occurrence. Take action
to prevent recurrence. Keep records of the
investigation and preventative steps that were
taken.

“...the control system shall be constructed so that a
failure within the system does not prevent the normal
stopping action from being applied to the press when
required, but does prevent initiation of a successive
stroke until the failure is corrected” (OSHA CFR
1910.217).

12. Only employees who understand the machines,
operation and safety requirements, and who are
able to communicate this knowledge should
be given the responsibility of instructing and
training others to perform as operators.

Safety Guidelines for Management

13. Management must decide that personnel
protective safety equipment is required to
perform each job safely. Items such as safety
glasses, shoes, gloves, helmets, hand pads,
spats, protective sleeves and material handling
equipment are common in the metal working
industry. If noise levels are excessive, protective
headsets and earmuffs are recommended.

Operational Safety
1. Appoint a Safety Coordinator to be responsible
for safety regulations, requirements, and
suggestions. He must review and investigate
all accidents and “close calls.”
2. Establish and issue safety rules. Inform each
employee of his responsibilities. Make sure he
understands them and knows what is expected
of him.

14. When designing point of operation guarding,
the manufacturing process should be weighed
heavily in favor of operational safety.

3. A thorough review and an early inspection must
be made of existing presses, dies, and point
of operation guarding to attain the degree of
responsibility required by ANSI B11.1-2009
Safety Standards and Federal State laws.
Review what mandatory modifications are
necessary.

15. Establish safe and convenient material handling
methods and procedures.
16. Post in convenient areas the names, addresses,
and phone numbers of physicians and hospitals,
and members of the organization who are to be
called in case of emergency.

4. Equipment that is no longer safe and that cannot
be economically upgraded should be destroyed.

17. All equipment must be electrically connected
according to the National Electric Code and be
consistent with other accepted practices.

5. Never allow persons legally under age to
operate or assist in the operation of machinery.

18. Provide adequate and proper fire protection
equipment.

6. All personnel must be properly trained to
eliminate accidents and injuries.
7. Regardless of the operator’s experience,
education, or language barrier, it is the
responsibility of the supervisor to give him
a thorough explanation with each new job
assignment.
8. No employee should be given a work assignment
that he does not fully understand. Only properly
instructed and thoroughly trained personnel
-D-2-

Appendix “B”

Regulations and Guidelines
Model SS Safety Light Curtain

be corrected to prevent possible injuries and
damage.

Power Press Guarding
1. Press manufacturers do not know and cannot
foresee the magnitude of potential
applications of power presses. Therefore,
only the press user can determine the type of
guards that have to be used in order to perform
the job safely. It is the responsibility of the
user management to make certain that point of
operation guarding and other necessary safety
devices are installed. The press should be
guarded in such a manner that it is impossible
for the operators to place their hands or any
other part of the body in the die area.

Safety Enforcement
In order to have an effective safety program,
management at all levels must enforce every safety
rule and regulation. Strong disciplinary measures are
sometimes required. They should consist of a warning,
written reprimand, work suspension, transfer, demotion,
or possibly a dismissal. All infractions must be reported
and recorded. Once an infraction in noted, it shows
that an unsafe practice or condition has existed. This
may be the result of poor planning or improper training
and instructing. The reason for the infraction should be
analyzed in order to take corrective action.

2. The press user should become thoroughly
acquainted with the safety devices commonly
employed in power press operations.

Supervisor Training

3. Feeding devices are strongly recommended,
since they remove the operator from the
die area, and therefore allow more effective
utilization of guards and safety devices.

It should be the responsibility of management to instruct
their supervisors on safety, giving job instructions,
supervising operators, determining accident causes, and
building safety attitudes among the machine operators.
Accidents can occur due to inadequate training of
supervisors.

4. Do not release a press for production before
installing and testing all guards and covers.
5. Make frequent evaluation checks of all guarding
and devices while the press is running. Correct
all unsafe findings immediately.

Operator Training
It shall be the responsibility of management to insure
proper training of operators. A specific training program
should be instituted to instruct the operator in safety,
proper usage of the equipment, and correct operational
procedure in performing each and every job. In addition
to the supervisor, the operator should be familiar with the
proper guarding of the point of operation. Never permit
an operator to start a job without complete instructions
from his immediate supervisor.

Power Press Care through Inspection and
Maintenance
1. All maintenance and inspection personnel
should be specifically instructed, and must
understand proper maintenance and inspection
procedures contained in this manual.
2. Set up a daily, weekly, and monthly press
inspection program. Use a checklist and verify
that the job is done correctly.
3. Establish a preventative maintenance program.
Records of all maintenance work performed
must be kept.
4. Since all equipment has a limited life, quality
maintenance personnel are required to obtain
maximum usage of your equipment.
5. Releasing a power press for production following
maintenance should be the responsibility of a
qualified individual assigned by management.
6. To maintain the original level of press reliability,
careful inspection of mechanical, electrical, and
pneumatic areas must be made. This may give
an advance warning of a hazard which then can
