How to Use Safety Light Curtains？

Choose the appropriate safety light curtain model according to the specific needs of the workplace. Factors to consider include the size of the protection area, the number and spacing of light beams, reaction speed, and environmental conditions (such as temperature, humidity, vibration, etc.).

Determine the best installation location for the safety light curtain based on the range of activities of equipment and personnel. Generally, the safety light curtain should be installed at the entrance of the hazardous area to be protected to ensure that any person or object entering the area will be detected by the safety light curtain.

Mount the transmitter and receiver in the desired location. Make sure they are aligned accurately to ensure that the light beam can be stably transmitted from the transmitter to the receiver. The distance between the transmitter and the receiver should be consistent with the recommended distance in the product manual.

Adjust the height and density of the beam according to the protection requirements. The height of the beam should cover all possible access to the hazardous area to avoid missed detection.

Use brackets to fix the transmitter and receiver in the correct position. Make sure the installation is firm to avoid movement or vibration during operation, which will affect the effectiveness of the safety light curtain.

When installing it as below, the light reflected from the surface of wall and flat is not shaded. Please check whether it operates normally or not with a sensing target before using.(interval distance: ≥ 0.5 m)

It may cause interference when installing more than 2 sets of the sensor. In order to avoid the interference of the sensor, please install as following figures and use the transmitted light frequency changing function.

· Transmission direction should be opposite between 2 sets. 

· Baffle should be installed between 2 sets.

· Interval distance adjustment:

① Depending on the environment, it may vary;

② Do not use it directly under high-speed and high-frequency fluorescent lamps.

Connect the safety light curtain to the machine's control system so that it can trigger a shutdown or other safety measures in time when the light beam is blocked. Configure the necessary interfaces and communication protocols according to the control requirements of the equipment.

Set the relevant parameters of the safety light curtain through the control unit or software interface, such as detection sensitivity, beam coverage, response time, etc. Make sure the settings are consistent with the actual application scenario.

Regularly check the alignment of the safety light curtain, the cleanliness of the light beam, and the stability of the connecting cables. Make sure that the transmitter and receiver are not blocked by dirt, dust or other objects.

Repeat the function of the safety light curtain at regular intervals (such as weekly or monthly) to ensure that it can still work properly after long-term use.

If the safety light curtain is found to be faulty or damaged, it should be immediately decommissioned and repaired or replaced. It should be tested again before use to confirm that it has returned to normal.
