DANGER
• The installation of the indication for override may be required by the laws, rules,
regulations, and standards in the country or region in which the GL-R is used if you
apply the override function. It depends on the machine application and/or the result of
your risk assessment. If it is necessary for you to provide the indication for override,
you must fulfill the requirements because you are fully responsible for installation of the
indication for override.
• The customer is fully responsible for complying with the requirements for muting and/or
override. Those who use muting and/or override must fulfill all of the requirements
related to muting and/or override. KEYENCE accepts NO responsibility and NO liability
for any damage or any injury due to the unauthorized installation, usage or
maintenance, which are not specified in this user's manual, and/or due to
noncompliance with the laws, rules, regulations and standards in the country or region
in which the GL-R is used.
• When the reduced resolution function is applied, the detection capability varies
according to your configuration. Make sure to accurately calculate the safety distance
according to the detection capability, and install the GL-R at a distance greater than or
equal to the minimum safety distance away from the hazardous zone or hazard. The
installation of additional safety measures, such as safeguarding, may be required if the
detection capability varies due to the configuration of reduced resolution. On your own
responsibility, you must perform the risk assessment based on your configuration of
reduced resolution in order to reduce the risk.
• When the fixed blanking function is applied, a hazardous clearance that is not protected
by the GL-R may be generated between the obstacle and the GL-R. You must install an
additional safety measure such as a safeguard for this clearance.
• Securely tighten mounting brackets and cable connectors used for the installation of
the GL-R in accordance with the torque values specified in this user's manual.
• When optical synchronization system is applied and Channel A or B is configured, the
response time is longer than the other case. Make sure to accurately calculate the safety
distance according to the response time, and install the GL-R at a distance greater than
or equal to the minimum safety distance away from the hazardous zone or hazard.
DANGER
• Always turn off the power to the GL-R when performing electrical wiring.
• You must fulfill the electrical standards and regulations in the country or region in
which the GL-R is being used when you perform the electrical wiring.
• To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not connect any of the GL-R inputs to DC power
sources outside of the range of 24 V DC + 20% or to any AC power source.
• To avoid the risk of electric shock, be sure that any hazardous voltage is isolated from
all wiring of the GL-R with reinforced insulation or double insulation.
• In order to fulfill the requirements in IEC61496-1, UL61496-1, EN61496-1 and UL508, the
power supply for the GL-R must fulfill the conditions listed below.
(a) A rated output voltage of 24 V DC (SELV, Overvoltage Category ) within ±20%.
(b) Double insulation or reinforced insulation between the primary and secondary
circuits.
(c) Output holding time of 20 ms or more.
(d) A power supply must fulfill the requirements of the electrical safety and
electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) regulations or standards in all countries
and/or regions where the GL-R is used.
(e) A secondary circuit of power supply (output) must fulfill the requirements for
Class 2 Circuits or Limited Voltage/Current Circuits specified in UL508, if the
GL-R is used in the United States or Canada.
• Do not install the electric wiring of the GL-R together with or in parallel with any high-
voltage electrical or power lines.
• Both OSSD outputs provided on the GL-R must be used to establish a safety-related
machine control system. Establishing a safety-related machine control system with just
one of the OSSD outputs cannot stop the machine due to an OSSD output malfunction
and may result in significant harm to the machine operators, including serious injury or
death.
• When using PNP output type cables, do not cause a short-circuit between the OSSD and
+24V. Otherwise, the OSSDs keep staying at the ON-state and it causes a dangerous
situation.
• When using PNP output type cables, be sure to connect the load between the OSSD and
0V to avoid a dangerous situation. If the load is incorrectly connected between the
OSSD and +24V, the logic of the OSSD operation will be reversed and the OSSD will
change to an ON state when the GL-R detects an interruption in the detection zone. This
is a dangerous situation.
• When using NPN output type cables, do not cause a short-circuit between the OSSD and
0V. Otherwise, the OSSDs keep staying at the ON-state and it causes a dangerous
situation.
• When using an NPN output type cable, be sure to connect the load between the OSSD
and +24V to avoid a dangerous situation. If the load is incorrectly connected between
the OSSD and 0V, the logic of the OSSD operation will be reversed and the OSSD will
change to an ON state when the GL-R detects the interruption in the detection zone.
This is a dangerous situation.
• Regardless of whether the cables are PNP or NPN type, you must fulfill the requirements
of Clause 9.4.3 in IEC60204-1: 2005 for protection against maloperation due to earth
fault.
• All outputs, other than OSSDs, are not allowed to be used as safety outputs for a safety-
related machine control systems. Usage of these functions as safety outputs may result
in significant harm to the machine operators, including serious injury or death.
• The wait input is not allowed to be connected to the output from any components
comprising a part of the safety-related machine control system. If the wait input is
connected to the output of a safety component it may result in significant harm to the
machine operators, including serious injury or death.
• The transmitter and receiver cables must be within the lengths specified in this user's
manual. Usage of cables longer than the specified length may cause the improper
operation of safety functions and may cause a dangerous situation.
DANGER
• You must always perform the pre-check test in accordance with the checklist, after
maintenance, adjustment or alignment of the target machine or the GL-R and before the
machine startup.
• If the GL-R does not operate properly when you perform a pre-check test in accordance
with the checklist specified in this user's manual, do not operate the machine.
• You must periodically examine the machine to verify that all brakes, other stop
mechanisms, and control devices operate reliably and correctly in addition to checking
the GL-R.
• The responsible personnel must perform maintenance procedures as specified in this
user's manual to ensure safety to the machine and GL-R.
