Selection, installation and use considerations
FULL REVOLUTION MECHANICAL POWER PRESSES CANNOT BE STOPPED IN MID-STROKE (OSHA 29CFR
1910.217).
Do NOT use FF-LS Series safety light curtains on full revolution mechanical power presses.
Failure to comply with these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
IMPROPER SELECTION AND INSTALLATION OF SAFETY DEVICES
The safety light curtains in this manual are used as safety devices. When properly installed and maintained, their function is
to establish a sensing field between a person and a defined zone of potential danger. Intrusion into the sensing field is
detected and communicated to the machine's operating controls to neutralize the danger before an injury can occur.
The full protection offered by the use of the safety light curtain device is only assured by: (1) the proper selection of the
device and components for the specific application, (2) and the correct installation, proper maintenance and use of the light
curtain device.
You must read and understand the information in this manual to ensure the safety device selected is the most appropriate
for the application.
Failure to comply with these instructions could result in death or serious injury. If you need assistance, see
Customer Service Information.
FF-LS Series safety light curtains are designed for the principal protection for small presses, punches or machines where
the movement of the functional parts can be interrupted at any moment in a dangerous phase. Safety light curtains set up
an invisible barrier between the safe region and a danger zone and produce an emergency stop signal when the invisible
barrier is interrupted.
IMPROPER INSTALLATION OF SAFETY LIGHT CURTAINS
The machine control circuitry must be designed in such a manner that a single component fault does not lead to an unsafe
condition.
Cancellation of the FF-LS Series safety light curtain emergency stop signal must not cause the restart of moving parts. A
restart may only be initiated by means of a control designed for this purpose.
Installation and use of this product must be performed by a qualified person thoroughly familiar with all instructions
contained within this manual and all applicable safety regulations including those described below.
Failure to comply with these instructions could result in death or serious injury. If you need assistance, refer to
Customer Service Information section in this manual.
