Figure B shows important light curtain parameters. These parameters are shown as
C, M, K and R.
C - Light curtain column mounting centres. Use 6mm bolt for fixing
M -Length of the light curtain enclosures excluding end-caps
K - Detection height
R - Scanning range of the light curtain
Detection zone width (K) –Must be of a suitable height for each application to
prevent personnel access to the danger area, either over, under or around the light
curtains detection zone.
Range (R) –Ensure the particular light curtain specification is capable of satisfying
the range requirement for the application.
Fig. E also shows the connection points for the A cable between the transmitter (Tx)
and the receiver (Rx), B Cable connection and mute input connections.
To ensure correct operation of the system cable lengths as stated should not be
exceeded: A cable = 55 metres. B cable = 50 metres.

Figure C shows the use of a Perimeter light curtain and mirror arrangement.
A detailed explanation of the use of mirrors and safety light curtains in machine safety
applications can be found in Appendix 1.
If utilising mirrors to deflect the light curtain ensure the mirror length is 100mm longer
than the light curtain detection height and mounted centrally to the zone. To ensure
reliable operation the light curtain deflection angle from the mirror must not be less
than 40 degrees or greater than 100 degrees.
Figure D shows 8000 Series light curtain end-bracket dimensions. Use M6 bolts
for the mounting brackets.

Figure E -Operating Requirements
Humidity <95%
Temperature range between 0 and 50 degrees C
Vibration frequency <55Hz max. Displacement <0.35mm
Equipment should not be used in potentially explosive atmospheres. The units
are not ‘EX’ rated. Do not use the equipment in explosive atmospheres. For
further information on explosive-proof enclosures contact Smartscan Ltd.
Noise generated by the equipment will never exceed 70 dB
Note: Restart controls must be located such that the danger area can be seen to be
clear of persons before the system is activated.

When installing a Smartscan 8000 Series light curtain your attention is drawn to the
following: (Figure F)
3. Ensure the mounting position of the light curtain in respect to the nearest danger
point meets the requirements of European Standard EN ISO 13855.
4. Ensure the light curtain transmitter and receiver units are mounted accurately in
line with each other and are both perpendicular and parallel to each other within the
parameters shown for each axis.
1. Consider reflective surfaces that
may give rise to optically ‘short
circuiting’ the direct path of the light
curtains as shown. To ensure the
light curtain is mounted far enough
away from reflective surfaces use
the formulae provided to calculate
the minimum dimension between
the light curtain and reflective
surface.
X = minimum distance (mm) between
reflective surface and light curtain.
2. To prevent intermittent tripping of
the light curtain ensure extraneous
infra-red energy between 800 and
1000 nanometres is not directed
towards the Perspex window of the
receiver unit (RX). Extraneous
sources would include infra-red
sensors, infra-red remote controls
or scanning systems.

Figure I shows the range of 8000 Series light curtains and cables. It describes
model codes, number of beams, aluminium extrusion length (M), detection zone width
(K), light curtain mounting centres (C) weight in (Kg) of the transmitter (Tx) and
receiver (Rx) columns and the maximum scanning range (R).
For example, model number 083E903 will provide a 900mm high detection zone, 3
beam light curtain with standard software option. Model number 183E903 will provide
the following, 900mm high detection zone, 3 beam light curtain with a blue integrated
mute beacon and standard software option.
