Operating instructions
Safety light curtain
The safety switchgear must exclusively be used in accordance with the
versions listed below or for the applications authorised by the manufac-
turer. Detailed information regarding the range of applications can be
found in the chapter "Product description".
1.5 General safety instructions
The user must observe the safety instructions in this operating instruc-
tions manual, the country-specific installation standards as well as all
prevailing safety regulations and accident prevention rules.
Further technical information can be found in the Schmersal
catalogues or in the online catalogue on the Internet: www.
schmersal.net.
The information contained in this operating instructions manual is provi-
ded without liability and is subject to technical modifications.
The entire concept of the control system, in which the safety
component is integrated, must be validated to EN ISO 13849-
2.
There are no residual risks, provided that the safety instructions as well
as the instructions regarding mounting, commissioning, operation and
maintenance are observed.
Additional measures could be required to ensure that the electro-sensi-
tive device does not present a dangerous breakdown, when other forms
of light beams are available in a special application (e.g. use of wireless
control devices on cranes, radiation of welding sparks or effects of
stroboscopic lights).
1.6 Warning about misuse
In case of inadequate or improper use or manipulations of the
safety switchgear, personal hazards or damage to machi-
nery or plant components cannot be excluded. The relevant
requirements of the standards EN ISO 13855 (successor of
EN 999) and EN ISO 13857 must be observed.
1.7 Exclusion of liability
We shall accept no liability for damages and malfunctions resulting from
defective mounting or failure to comply with this operating instructions
manual. The manufacturer shall accept no liability for damages resul-
ting from the use of unauthorised spare parts or accessories.
For safety reasons, invasive work on the device as well as arbitrary re-
pairs, conversions and modifications to the device are strictly forbidden;
the manufacturer shall accept no liability for damages resulting from
such invasive work, arbitrary repairs, conversions and/or modifications
to the device.

2.4 Destination and use
The SLC is a non-contact, self-testing safety guard, which is used for
the protection of hazardous points, hazardous areas and machine
access . If one or more light beams are interrupted, the hazardous
movement must be stopped.
The user must evaluate and design the safety chain in ac-
cordance with the relevant standards and the required safety
level.
