SL-VHS-IM-E
With the SL-VHS, OSSD automatically turns ON upon startup (when the power turns on or the lockout
error condition is terminated by reset input) or restart (when the SL-VHS is blocked and OSSD turns
OFF) if no interruption is present in the detection zone. Therefore, safety must be secured by combin-
ing a device that connects OSSD (such as safety relay unit), or a machine that prevents entrance to
the hazardous zone merely by passing through the protection zone or detection zone of the SL-VHS.
■
Muting Function
The muting function is used to temporarily suspend the SL-VHS's safety functions while the SL-VHS
receives a signal from one or more muting devices (such as sensors or switches). Before this function
can be used, the outputs from the muting devices must be connected to the muting input terminal on
the SL-VHS.
●
Muting device
When using the muting device, it must meet the following conditions.
• The muting device output must be N.O. (normal open).
• Output of the muting device must be the output with contacts, and must be PNP output type if
PNP output type cable is used, or NPN output type if NPN output type cable is used. Also, the
muting device must be capable of 2 to 3 mA current.
• Do not use one muting device with multiple outputs in place of two or more muting devices.
(Only one output can be used per muting device.)
• If the muting device has a timer function that can adjust the output timing, do not use that func-
tion.
●
Muting lamp
When using the muting lamp, it must meet the following conditions.
For an incandescent lamp
: rated 24 VDC, 1 to 7 W
For LED indicator
: rated current consumption must be 10 to 300 mA.
If the incandescent lamp burns out, or if the lamp used does not meet the above conditions, the
state information output shows a muting lamp error.
●
Conditions for initiation of muting
Muted condition is initiated if all of the following conditions are met.
• Muting input 2 turns ON within 0.04 to 3 seconds after muting input 1 turns ON
• SL-VHS detects no interruption in the detection zone
• OSSD is ON state.
●
Conditions for termination of muting
Muted condition is terminated if one of the following conditions is met.
• Either of muting inputs goes to OFF state at least for more than 0.02 sec.
• Light curtain goes to lockout condition
• Wait input goes to ON state
• The power supply is interrupted or restored.
• Maximum muting period of approx. 5 minutes has been passed.
■
Override function
The OSSD goes to an OFF state if the muting function is deactivated and an interruption remains in
the detection zone of the SL-VHS. The OSSD OFF state will remain until the obstruction is removed.
The override is a function to allow a temporary manual suspension of the SL-VHS safety functions.
This makes it possible to remove the obstruction remaining in the detection zone of the SL-VHS.
(Machine is able to be manually operated on a temporary basis because the safety function of the
SL-VHS is temporarily suspended.)
●
Conditions for initiation of override
Override function is initiated if all of the following conditions are met and the reset input goes to
ON state within 0.04 to 1 seconds after override input turns ON state.
• SL-VHS is not in the lockout condition.
• SL-VHS detects interruption in the detection zone. (One or more beam axis is blocked.)
• OSSD is OFF state. (including interlock condition)
• Either of muting inputs, or both, turns ON state
●
Conditions for termination of override
Override function is terminated if one of the following conditions is met.
• All of muting inputs turn OFF state.
• Either override input or reset input, or both, turns OFF state.
• Light curtain goes to lockout condition
• Wait input turns ON state.
• Maximum override period of approx. 60 seconds has been passed.

If the length for a single SL-VHS unit is 710 mm or greater, use a compact E-to-E mounting bracket or
an E-to-E mounting bracket additionally as an intermediate support bracket. The following figures show
the example for the use of one compact E-to-E bracket or space-saving bracket.
