TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
• Paper-cutting machines

• Good lifts
• Small carousels
The FF-LS equipment is an infrared multibeam device designed to protect operators
working on dangerous machines. The FF-LS equipment features are ideal for the
protection of work stations on small machines such as paper-cutting machines or
pick-and-place robots.
The permanent self-checking electronic process is based upon a microprocessor
technology and meets the requirement of the IEC/EN 61496- parts 1 & 2 European
standards for Type 4 electrosensitive protective equipment.
It has been examined by the TÜV who granted the EC type examination certificate.
The equipment consist of a pair of sensing units connected to a separate control
unit via a RS-485 connection.
Each sensing unit is made of a row of emitting circuits alternating with receiving
circuits. These circuits are housed in an extremely small aluminium extruded pro-
file: the cross section is only 12 mm x 19,7 mm / 0.47 in x 0.77 in.
The two sensors are matched to each other by individual coding to reduce risk of
cross talk with other light curtains and to improve immunity to welding splashes.
The control unit supplies the sensing units, controls the correct operation of the
scanning circuits and transmits the resulting commands to the machine control
circuitry through its two relay outputs.
The equipment can operate according to two different mode: the automatic mode,
the start & restart interlock mode.
In addition, the control unit is featured with a test input to trigger the output relays
switching and thus check the correct operation of the final switching devices when-
ever needed. In case of failure, the control unit provides optical and acoustic signals
to ease failure diagnostic.

Safety distance
S
: Minimum safety distance (mm / in)
t1 : Response time of the light curtain (s)
t2 : Stopping time of the equipment guarded by the light
curtain, including all mechanical, electromechanical and
electronic parts (s)
H : Height of the detection zone above the floor (mm / in)
The safety distance between the protection field and the dangerous zone
should be large enough to ensure that if the protection field is entered,
the dangerous zone cannot be reached before the hazardous movement
is arrested. For the safety distance, the following formula applies:
Normal approach
Europe (EN 999)
S
2000 (t1 + t2) + 128 (mm), with S
100 mm
(or S
78.8 t1 + t2) + 5 (in), with S
3.9 in
If the result of this calculation is greater or equal to 500 mm /
19.7 in, then use the following formula:
S
1600 (t1 + t2+ 128 (mm), with S
500 mm
(or S
63 (t1 + t2) + 5 (in), with S
19.7 in
US (OSHA 29 CFR 1910.217, ANSI B11.19 1990
Ds
63 (t1 + t2) + 3.08 (in) Ds = S
Parallel approach
Europe (EN 999)
S
1600 (t1 + t2) + (1200-0.5H) (mm)
where (1200-0.4H)
850 mm
(or S
63 (t1+t2) + 47.3 - 0.4H0 (in)
where (47.3 - 0.4 )
33.5 in)
If H is greater than 300 mm / 11.82 in, the risk of access from below
must be taken into account. For this barrier, the minimum height
allowed is H min. = 0 mm and the maximum height allowed is
H max. = 1 000 mm / 39.4 in.
Angled approach
Europe (EN 999)
30° < αα
αα
α < 90°
If the angle is greater than 30°, the approach should be considered
as normal, and one of the above-mentioned formulas should be
used.
0° < αα
αα
α
30°
If the angle is less than or equal to 30°, the approach should be
considered as parallel and one of the above-mentioned formulas
should be used. In this case the minimum height allowed is P min.
= 0 mm and the max. height allowed is H = 1 000 mm / 39.4 in max.
However, if P > 300 mm / 11.82 in, the risk of inadvertent access from
below must be taken into account.

(1) - Supply (to be ordered separately):
The use of one of these supplies brings
the galvanic isolation which is necessary
to the system for a use conform to
IEC/EN 61496 - 1 standard.

(2) - Test duration: The contact must be
closed during 100 ms as a minimum.
(3) - The push-button must remain closed
during 200 ms at least. It takes 500 ms for
the system to restart after releasing the
push-button.
(4) - If additional contacts are needed or if
the switching capacity must be increased,
use the connection diagram given or an
example.

Example of installation
For a correct installation, brackets must be fixed on a plain base
in order to avoid profile deformation.
