    The failure shall be detectable by a simple test, or indicated by the control system.” Honeywell has developed new patented self-checking techniques which combine reliability with safety. The FF-SB Series light curtains function with dual channel redundancy and positive self-checking monitoring. This means that a faulty component in our system will make the safety barrier fail in a safe mode.
  • Page 13: Operation

    Operation The FF-SB12 and FF-SB14 Series are thru-scan light curtains. Emitters transmit modulated, infrared light that is detected by photoreceivers in the receiver (see figure 1-5). The number of light beams depends on the protected height and resolution of the light curtain. Figure 1-5 FF-SB Series Operational Diagram The FF-SB15 Series is also a thru-scan type light curtain.
  • Page 14 Beam diameter is the smallest width that will block a single light beam. The FF-SB12 and FF-SB14 have a beam diameter of 9,5 mm (0.37 inch). The combination of the beam diameter and center distance gives the FF-SB12 (see figure 1-6) a resolution of 22 mm (0.87 inch), the FF-SB14 a resolution of 35 mm (1.38 inches).
  • Page 15: Scanning Range

    Response Times The response time of FF-SB Series light curtains is the maximum time it takes the light curtain to generate a stop signal after the sensing field has been interrupted. See the table below for response times for individual light curtains.
  • Page 16: Indicators

    Indicators FF-SB12, FF-SB14 and FF-SB15 Series receivers have four LED indicators (see figure 1-8). The emitters have one LED. These LED indicators provide important information related to light curtain status. Figure 1-8 Receiver Indicators Signal Strength Indicator (receiver) The R1 indicator will flash repeatedly if the received light level is lower than the normal operating level, but is still sufficient for operation.
  • Page 17: Mirrors

    Power Indicator (emitter) FF-SB Series emitters have a yellow E1 LED that, if illuminated, indicates power is applied to the light curtain (see figure 1-9). Figure 1-9 Emitter Indicators Synchronization Beam Reception Indicator (emitter) FF-SB Series emitters have a yellow E2 LED that, if illuminated, indicates the synchronization beam is established.

  • Page 33 FF-SB15 Mounting IMPROPER POINT-OF-OPERATION PROTECTION Do NOT use FF-SB15 Series light curtains for point-of-operation applications. Failure to comply with these instructions will result in death or serious injury. Using the alignment mark located near the connector of each FF-SB15 emitter and receiver unit, (see figure 2-9) mount the three beam units so that the mark is 300 mm (11.8 in.) above the ground with connector down or 1100 mm (43.3 in.) above the ground with the connector up.
  • Page 34 FF-SB12 and FF-SB14 Mounting Two emitter/receiver units may be mounted together to obtain a greater protected height (see figure 2-10). Mount the units head-to-head so the synchronization beams are as far apart as possible. Mount the emitter/receiver units in a reverse transmitting position to prevent mutual interference or cross-talk. The units may be mounted with the over-lapping heads to maintain the resolution throughout the protected height.
  • Page 35 Side by Side Installation MUTUAL INTERFERENCE OR CROSS-TALK A physical barrier or filter may be necessary in side-by-side system installations for proper operation. When two or more light curtain systems are installed on adjacent machines, optical interference may occur if two units are within the field of view.
