9. Inspection and service

All light curtains contain only electronics and therefore

need limited preventive maintenance.

9.1. Cleaning

The optical windows are to be cleaned with non-

aggressive materials only. The interval between
cleaning is dependant on the operating environment
at the installation.

ATTENTION

Do not use aggressive solvents or abrasive
substances. Otherwise range reduction
and false switching could arise.

9.2. Inspections

The light curtain must, depending on the valid

regulations, be periodically tested by qualified and
trained persons.

The function of the light curtain can be tested with the

supplied test rod, which has a diameter corresponding
to the resolution of the light curtain. The status is
indicated through the LED display in the ROCKWELL
AUTOMATION GuardShield Safe 4 light curtain.

Functional Test
The function of the light curtain can be tested using

the test rod, (Figure 12), which has a diameter
corresponding to the resolution of the light curtain.
The status is displayed at the 3 LEDs at the transmitter
and receiver. The status can be easily read from
the trouble shooting labels “Transmitter Status” and
“Receiver Status” (table 1 and 2, page 15).

9.3. Decommissioning

The safety light curtain may only be removed, if the

machinery or assembly line will be closed definitively.
This has to be done by removing the main supply
from the machinery. It must be impossible to bring the
machinery into operation without using tools.

The light curtain can be reused provided the current

regulations are taken into consideration.

If the light curtain has to be disposed, it can easily

be disassembled and recycled using state of the art
recycling technology and following current disposal
regulation. It does not contain harmful materials
except small quantities of materials used in electronic
PCBs.

10. Product labels

All relevant ratings are given on the 2 product labels.

The labels are attached to the receiver as well as the
transmitter light curtain.
