LSUW 24V Operating Instructions

Product catalog summary
Safety Instructions: The document emphasizes the critical importance of following safety instructions and regulations for the proper use of infrared safety light curtains, specifically the Type LSUW models. It highlights that these instructions should be readily available at the installation site and that only qualified personnel should handle installation and maintenance.
Terms and Definitions: Key terms related to safety light curtains are defined, including electrosensitive protective equipment (ESPE), safety category 4, self-monitoring, and operational modes such as start interlock and muting. The document explains the significance of safety clearance and response time in preventing hazardous machine movements.
Requirements for Use: The document outlines the necessary conditions for the effective use of safety light curtains and grids. It specifies that the sensor function must eliminate hazardous states and that safety clearances must be maintained. Acceptance and annual inspections by competent personnel are mandated.
Equipment Description and Applications: The infrared safety light barriers Type LSUW are described as compact, self-monitoring devices that comply with EN 50100 standards for Category 4 devices. They are used in various industrial applications, including presses, injection molding machines, and robot systems, to prevent access to hazardous machine parts.
Mechanical and Electrical Specifications: Detailed mechanical data, including dimensions and lens arrangements, are provided. The document also includes electrical connection diagrams for different operating modes and switching units, ensuring proper installation and operation.
Installation and Operation: Instructions for mounting the equipment, ensuring safety clearances, and adjusting the system are provided. The document stresses the importance of daily checks and troubleshooting to maintain operational integrity.
Overview: This document provides technical specifications and operational procedures for the LSUW NSR 3-1 and LSUW N1 K switching units used in safety systems for industrial machinery. It includes connection diagrams, operational modes, and safety recommendations.
Specifications: The switching units are designed to control hazardous machine movements by monitoring protective fields using light barriers. They operate on a 24V DC supply and include features like restart interlock and valve/contact monitoring.
Operational Procedures:
  • Upon machine startup, the system must be tested by reaching into the protective field. If the field is clear, current paths close, allowing machine operation.
  • If the protective field is breached, the machine stops immediately and can only be restarted by pressing the 'Start' pushbutton.
  • Monitoring circuits check the state of hydraulic valves or contactors, ensuring they drop out if the protective field is breached.
Connection Diagrams: Detailed diagrams illustrate the electrical connections for various operating modes (B, B1, C, D), showing how components like light transmitters, receivers, and contactors are integrated.
Safety Recommendations:
  • The 'Start' pushbutton should be positioned to ensure visibility of the hazard area but prevent actuation from within the hazard area.
  • Fuses must be rated to prevent contact welding.
  • Operating modes must be selected based on the possibility of personnel standing between the safety light curtain and the machine.
Applications: The systems are suitable for protecting areas around power-driven machines, presses, and robots, especially where cyclic entry into the protective field is required.
Overview: The document provides technical details on the operation and setup of Fiessler Elektronik's safety light barrier systems, specifically focusing on the LSUW N1 Duo and Muting switching units. These systems are designed to ensure safety by monitoring and controlling hazardous areas using light barriers and muting sensors.
Specifications: The systems utilize transmitters and receivers to create protective fields. When these fields are unobstructed, the system remains in a 'safe' state, indicated by green LEDs. The LSUW N1 Muting unit can distinguish between human and material movement, using additional muting sensors and a muting signal lamp.
Procedures:
  • Activation: The system is activated by pressing the Start pushbuttons, which engage the transmitters and receivers. The system holds its state until the protective field is interrupted.
  • Muting Function: This allows temporary bypassing of the safety light barrier to permit material movement without triggering an alarm, using time-monitored or non-time-monitored configurations.
  • Adjustment: Proper alignment of the light barriers is crucial. Tools like line projectors and lasers aid in alignment, ensuring the system functions correctly.
Standards and Recommendations: The systems comply with standards such as EN 50100, ZH 1/281, and ZH 1/597, requiring regular maintenance and annual inspections. The document advises on protective measures against environmental factors like humidity and welding spatter.
Troubleshooting: Common issues include non-continuity of switching unit outputs, often due to defective transmitters or blown fuses. Solutions involve checking connections and returning defective units to the manufacturer.
Overview: The document provides troubleshooting and operational guidelines for Fiessler Elektronik's light barrier systems used in various applications such as safety light grids and photoelectric controls.
Specifications and Components:
  • Light barrier systems include components like LSUW N1, LSUW N1 DUO, and LSUW N1 Muting.
  • Key components include transmitters, receivers, and switching units.
Troubleshooting Procedures:
  • If the switching unit outputs do not provide continuity, check for a spark-quench element connected parallel to the load to prevent relay contact burning.
  • If the entry restriction cannot be reset, verify the Start switch functionality and monitor circuit continuity.
  • If the green LED lights without pressing the Start button, ensure the transmitter is correctly connected as per the circuit diagram.
  • If LEDs do not light as expected, clean the light barrier windows, check alignment, and ensure the protective field width matches the Type plate specifications.
  • Heavy consumers like large motors may obstruct the light barrier; ensure cables are not laid parallel to power supply cables and position the switching unit close to the receiver.
Recommendations:
  • Regular maintenance and cleaning of light barrier components are essential for optimal performance.
  • Ensure proper installation and alignment to prevent operational issues.

≥ 90 mm.Through a specially focussed optical system the optical modules only detect that part of the light band that is immediately opposite to them. The modules are connected in series and their output is modulated with a carrier frequency. In the event of the protective field being penetrated, the chain of signals is interrupted and this results in the evaluation unit generating two antivalent signals which are transmitted to the switching unit. Various versions of switching unit are offered to provide for the protection of the operators of machines that differ widely in character. TransmitterReceiver...
