1. Statutory provisions 1.3 Installation Conformity to the European The installation of a photoelectric safety barrier is subject to very strict rules which may vary from country to Directives country. The EC type examination certificate granted by the Correct installation is necessary to ensure safety and must be carried out according to European regulations.
This means that a faulty component in the system will make the barrier safe - whatever the problem: stopping the movement of dangerous machine parts. For that purpose, Honeywell has developed new patented self-checking techniques which combine reliability and safety.
3. Installation Then in any case ”S” should be greater or equal to 500 mm. When access to the danger zone can be gained over the top or underneath of the barrier, additional Statutory mounting provisions safeguarding devices should be provided to prevent The installation of the barrier has to be carried out in access.

Scanning distance L In this case, it must be impossible for the operators to neutralize the position sensors. Positive break safety switches from Honeywell may be used with mechanical barriers as part of circuit. Note 2 If the tool can be changed (for instance in a press), calculate the distance “S“...
Protected height The FF-SB14 is guaranteed to detect any opaque object with dimensions ≥ 35 mm. • Nominal protected height (NPH) This is the rounded off protected height, used to simplify the specification. • Real protected height for an object of 35 mm (PH 35) This is the height of the zone, in which an object of 35 mm is certain to be detected.

Grouping of several FF-SB14 safety barriers To avoid the risk of possible malfunction of the barriers (interference between the synchro optical paths), it is recommended to assemble them as follows: • Linear assembly synchro beam beams 25.4 mm resolution 56 mm at this point 25.4 mm beams...
4. Electrical connection Conditions of use Connection of the photoelectric barriers to the control circuit of a press must be carried out in such a way that the outputs (relays with guided contacts) are systematically self-checked at each cycle. After connection of a photoelectric barrier to the control circuit of a press, the following safety functions must be checked: each interruption of one or more beams of the barrier during a dangerous phase of the operating cycle of the must immediately cause a stoppage within the response time of the...

If this is not done, the safety barrier will plastic connector versions remain blocked. (DIN 43651) 4.2.3 Receiver Signal plug FF-SB14E/Rooo-2o versions: connection by screw Connection drawing...
Notes: Machines with double stopping circuitry 1/ For Vdc versions, the supply connection is the following: terminal (1): + terminal (2): - In this case, use the contacts (3) and (4) & (5) and (6) separately: However, the FF-SB14 is protected against reversed polarity thanks to a rectifier.
The barrier only functions when connection (3) - 4.2.6 Use of auxillary N.C. contacts EARTH has been made. (pins 1 and 2 of receiver signal plug) Interruption of the connection (3) - EARTH causes: the opening of the machine stop contacts and the Never use this contact alone for machine closing of the auxiliary contacts: shutdown.
4.2.8 Example of electrical interface involving additional relaying Note: If it is necessary to add relays between the barrier and the machine control circuitry, it would be advisable to monitor that these relays are functioning properly. The case described below should be considered as an example of use of the barriers.

Connection of grouped barriers 4.3.4 Machine stop control 4 relays K1, K2, K3 and K4 would be used in the Relays X1 and X2 are switched simultaneously. An following manner: internal permanent check ensures that both relays have the same status. If one of the two contacts X1 or X2 becomes accidently welded, the remaining contact would no longer be able to close.
Interruption (by a contact Imax ≥ 20 mA, voltage drop 4.3.5 Use of auxillary N.C. contact ≤ 0,4 V) of the electrical connection between following (pins A1 and A2) terminals of the receiver plug sets off the barrier even if the beams have not been broken.

4.3.10 Examples of electrical interfaces involving additional relaying Note 1: If it is necessary to add relays between the barrier and the machine control circuitry, it would be advisable to monitor that these relays are functioning properly. The cases described below should be considered as examples of use of the barriers.
