Safety Information - ABB Orion1 Extended Manual De Instrucciones

Safety information

Warning! For a correct and safe use of the Orion1 Extended light curtains, the following points must be observed:

The stopping system of the machine must be electrically controlled.

This control system must be able to stop the hazardous movement of the machine within the total machine
stopping time T as per paragraph "Minimum installation distance" of the instruction manual, and during all
working cycle phases.

Mounting and connection of the AOPD must be carried out by qualified personnel only, according to the
indications included in the special sections of the instruction manual and in the applicable standards.

The AOPD must be securely placed in a particular position so that access to the hazard zone is not possible
without the interruption of the beams, see paragraph "Installation" of the instruction manual.

The personnel operating in the hazard zone must be well trained and must have adequate knowledge of all
the operating procedures of the AOPD.

The TEST button must be located outside the hazard zone because the operator must check the hazard zone
during all the test operations.

The ACKNOWLEDGE/RESET button must be located outside the hazard zone because the operator must
check the hazard zone during all acknowledge/reset operations. It must be impossible to reach the button
from the hazard zone.
Please carefully read the instructions for the correct functioning before powering the AOPD.
Installation
Warning! Make sure that the protection level assured by the AOPD is appropriate for the machine to be controlled,
see EN ISO 13849-1:2008.

The outputs (OSSD) of the AOPD must be used as machine stopping devices and not as command devices.
The machine must have its own Start command.

The dimension of the smallest object to be detected must be larger than the resolution of the AOPD.

The AOPD must be installed in a room complying with the technical characteristics indicated in paragraph
"Technical data" of the instruction manual.

Do not place the AOPD near strong and/or flashing light sources or similar devices.

Strong electromagnetic interferences can jeopardise the function of the AOPD. Please contact your
ABB Jokab Safety representative for advice.

The operating distance of the device can be reduced in presence of smog, fog or airborne dust.

A sudden change in environment temperature, with very low minimum peaks, can generate a small
condensation layer on the lenses and so jeopardise the function.

Reflecting surfaces placed near the light beams of the AOPD (over, under or laterally) can cause passive
reflections. These reflections can compromise the recognition of an object inside the detection zone.

The safety device must be positioned at a distance that prevents a person or part of a person to reach the
hazard zone before the hazardous motion of the machine has been stopped by the AOPD. See the instruction
manual for the calculation of this minimum installation distance.
Warning! The minimum installation distance must be respected. For more information about its calculation,please
refer to the instruction manual or EN ISO 13855:2010.
Warning! Make sure to test the function and to perform the checks described in paragraph "Checks after first
installation" of the instruction manual before machine start-up.
