Banner AG4 Series Safety Laser Scanner5.3 Electrical and Optical NoiseThe Scanner is designed and manufactured to be highly resistant to electrical and optical noise and to operate reliably inindustrial settings. However, serious electrical and/or optical noise may cause a random OFF state of the OSSDs. Invery extreme electrical noise cases, a Lockout is possible.If random nuisance noise problems occur, check the following: Poor connection between the Machine Interface (X1) cable shield and earth ground; Optical interference from adjacent safety laser scanners or other photoelectrics; or Scanner input or output wires routed too close to ―noisy‖ wiring.Note: Do not directly ground the Scanner housing. Make only those connections as described in Section 3.All Scanner wiring is low voltage; running these wires alongside power wires, motor/servo wires, or other high-voltagewiring can inject noise into the Scanner. It is good wiring practice (and may be required by code) to isolate Scanner wiresfrom high-voltage wires. The Banner model BT-1 Beam Tracker (see Banner catalog or website) is a very good tool fordetecting electrical noise. It can be used to detect electrical transient spikes and surges.Checking for sources of electrical noise: Turn off the Scanner and cover the lens of the BT-1 with electrical tape toblock optical light from getting into the receiver lens. Press the ―RCV‖ button on the BT-1 and position the Beam Trackeron the wires going to the Scanner or any other nearby wires. Noise caused by the switching of inductive loads should beaddressed by installing proper transient suppression across the load.Checking for sources of optical noise: Turn off the Scanner. Then use a Banner BT-1 Beam Tracker to check for lightat the AG4 front screen (window) by press the ―RCV‖ button on the BT-1 and moving across the full length of the windowwith the BT-1 lenses facing away from the AG4. If the BT-1’s indicator lights, check for light from other sources (e.g.,other safety laser scanners) by ―tracking down‖ the emitted light, using the BT-1.5.4 Servicing and Maintenance5.4.1 Removing the Scanner from the MachineIf the Scanner is to be removed from the machine and stored for a period of time, it is recommended to restore theScanner to the default configuration settings (see AG4soft Software Instruction Manual).5.4.2 Cleaning the Front Screen (Window) and Scatter ScreensClean the Scanner’s front and scatter screens regularly, at a frequency depending on the surrounding environmentalconditions, and using the recommended materials. Use only the AG4-CLN.. cleaning kit specified in Section 2,consisting of approved cleanser and cleaning cloths. Do not use scouring pads or cloths that can cause scratching (e.g.,paper towels). Never use solvents that can damage the plastic materials. The cleaning procedure depends on the typeand degree of contamination; see Table 12.Table 12.
