cegard/Mini-CC
EN 81-20 light curtain - mounting requirements
EN 81-20 requires a detection capability of 50 mm up to a height of 1,600 mm of the door opening. CEDES offers
three light curtains which fulfill this requirement in different installation situations. The light curtain with 36 elements
achieves a 50 mm resolution even at a distance of „0 mm" between the two edges. The light curtains with 20 and 32
elements must be installed recessed according to the minimum distance ‚d' to the door opening or to the front edge
of the door as shown below.

` Make sure both connectors are on top.
` Make sure the detection area between the edges is not
interrupted by door wings, cables, etc.
` Make sure the optical elements (black circles) on each
sensor edge are facing each other.
` Make sure that the blue plug is plugged into the blue
connector and the white plug is plugged into the white
connector.
` Improperly fixed and guided cables can reduce cable
lifetime drastically. Cable swinging and snagging in the
hoistway can lead to cable damage.
` To avoid EMI problems, rout cegard/Mini-CC cables as
far away as possible from the door drive motor or motor
inverter (VVVF-drives).
