EOS2 SAFETY LIGHT CURTAININTRODUCTIONThe EOS2 light curtain is an optoelectronic safety device belonging to the category ofType 2 electro-sensitive protective equipment for the protection of personnel exposed torisks inherent in the use of dangerous machines or plants, complying with theIEC 61496-1,2 and EN 61496-1 standards.The EOS2 is available in three different versions:1. EOS2 AType 2 light curtain consisting of Emitter plus Receiver with automatic reset.2. EOS2 X (With integrated control functions )Type 2 light curtain consisting of Emitter plus Receiver with integration of additionalfunctions such as control of feedback from any external contactors and management ofmanual/automatic operation.3. EOS2 XM/XS (MASTER/SLAVE)Type 2 light curtain (with integrated control functions) comprising two (or three) TX/RXpairs (connected in series), one of which comprising the MASTER light curtain (withintegrated functions) and one (or two) the SLAVE light curtain.A set of indicator leds on the Emitter and Receiver provide the information needed for acorrect use of the device and for the assessment of any malfunction. The automatic faultsensing system permits independent detection by the EOS2 light curtain of anydangerous fault in a time equal to the light curtain response time. For any safety problem, if necessary, consult the safety authorities of the country ofuse or the competent industrial association. For applications in the food industry, consult the manufacturer to verify compatibilityof light curtain materials with the chemical agents used. The protection capability of optoelectronic safety devices is not effective in cases inwhich:- The machine stopping device cannot be actuated electrically and it is not possibleto stop all dangerous machine movements immediately and at any time during theoperating cycle.- The dangerous condition is associated with the falling of objects from above orejection of these from the machine.- Anomalous forms of light radiation are present (for example, use of cablellesscontrol devices on cranes, radiation from weld spatter, etc).In this case additional measures may be necessary to ensure that the ESPE does notfail to danger.English8540738 • 2nd December 2009 • Rev.2 3
