Smartscan Safety Light Curtain 8K3 Series: Physical Setup

Mechanical Setup

Attaching the 'L' or 'T' mute modules to the main light curtain columns is very easy. Loosen the bolts on the bottom end-cap  and remove the end-cap bracket and rubber seal from both the transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx) columns. Do not throw these items away. As in illustration A (Click on thumb-nail or high-lighted text)

Fit the appropriate 'L' (illustration B) or 'T' (illustration C) module to the base of each column place the bottom end cap bracket using the longer bolts that are supplied with the units. Tighten the bolts enough to ensure waterproof sealing between the aluminum housings.

Cabling Setup

Straight light curtains: Plug in the "B" cable (18 pin connector) into the top connector on receiver column. Plug-in one side of the "A" cable (9 pin connector) into the second from the top connector on the receiver, plug the other end into the top connector on the transmitter. As in illustration D.(Click on thumb-nail or high-lighted text)

Self muting light curtains ('L' & 'T'): Plug-in the two cables on the transmitter (Tx) mute module into the main light curtain transmitter (Tx) column as shown in illustration E below. Unlike the receiver (Rx ) module there are NO connection differences at the transmitter (Tx) between cross-beam and parallel-beam configurations. As in illustration E. (Click on thumb-nail or high-lighted text)
