Pinnacle Systems MG - Manual (Page 17)

WARNING: The entire machine safety system
must be tested at the start of every shift. Machine
testing should include: (1) proper machine
operation and stopping capability; and (2)
verification of proper installation and settings of
all point of operation guards and devices before
the operation is released for production.
CAUTION: The MicroGuard should be mounted
in a manner so that only authorized personnel can
change the mounting or location.
CAUTION: Additional guards may be required to
prevent the operator from standing between the
light curtain and the point of operation.
1) Test the unit before you mount it on your equipment
by running the light curtain with the pylons butted
up to and facing each other. Each cable and pylon
is labeled “EMITTER” or “RECEIVER”. You will
feel a snap when the plug is fully seated and
locked onto the connector. Attach a line cord to
the power terminals for testing. If the light curtain
goes GREEN, you are ready to proceed with the
next step. If the light curtain stays RED, call your
dealer for help in determining the problem.
2) Determine the Safety Distance of the light curtain
from the point of operation (see Installation
Procedure, “ANSI Standard B11.19-2003”).
3) Determine if any part of the Microguard is to be
directly subjected to either excessive shock and/
or vibration. If so, mount the subjected parts to
your equipment using shock-mounted devices
(such as Part# 21-019). Shock and/or Vibration
damage is not covered under warranty.
4) Mount both pylons with the connector side in the
same direction mechanically aligned with one
another. Locate pylons so the working zone
is guarded from reaching around, over, and
under the light curtain system to the point
of operation or hazard zone (see Installation
Procedures, “Safeguarding with Mechanical
Guards”).
NOTE: For location of pylons in relation to the
hazard area, refer to Appendix B: Regulations
and Guidelines, “Federal Register 1910.217
(c) (3) (iii) (e).”
4) Place the Controller Module in an accessible
location where the cables can reach the pylons.
Dress the cables to avoid crushing, kinking, or
cutting (see Dimensions, “Controller Module“).
5) Wire power to the proper terminals and check that
the voltage is correct (see Installation Procedures,
“Controller Module Setup”).
Power for the MicroGuard should not be down
stream of noisy inductive devices (i.e., motors,
solenoids, etc.), it should be in front of them.
6) Interface the light curtain standard relay output
contacts to the safety stop circuit(s). You must use
both K1 and K2 output contacts. Do not use an
external relay(s) unless you use the external
relay checking feature.
7) Interface any remaining optional input or output
lines to their proper terminals (see Optional
Features).
8) Align the light curtain (see Installation Procedures,
“Alignment Procedure”).
9) Use a round test piece (i.e., dowel rod) that has a
diameter equal to the minimum object sensitivity.
Check and assure stop of machine when signal of
penetration is made. Minimum object sensitivity
goes up if you use Auto or Floating Blank options.
10) Mechanical guarding may also be required
from reaching around the light curtain to the
point of operation (see Installation Procedures,
“Safeguarding with Mechanical Guards”).
11) For installation assistance, please call your
dealer.
NOTE: For location of pylons in relation to the hazard
area, see Appendix B: Regulations and Guidelines,
“Federal Register 1910.217 (c) (3) (iii) (e)” and Installation
Procedures, “Safeguarding with Mechanical Guards”.
