Panasonic SF2B-H80SL Instruction Manual page 6

 Operator
• The operator should read this instruction manual thoroughly, understand its contents,
and perform operations following the procedures described in this manual for the
correct operation of this device.
• In case this device does not perform properly, the operator should report this to the
person in charge and stop the machine operation immediately. The machine must not
be operated until correct performance of this device has been confirmed.
 Environment
• Do not use a mobile phone or a radio phone near this device.
• If there exists a reflective surface in the place where this device is to be installed, make
sure to install this device so that reflected light from the reflective surface does not
enter into the receiver, or take countermeasures such as painting, masking,
roughening, or changing the material of the reflective surface, etc. Failure to do so may
cause the device not to detect, resulting in death or serious injury.
• Do not install this device in the following environments.
1) Areas exposed to intense interference (extraneous) light such as direct sunlight
2) Areas with high humidity where condensation is likely to occur
3) Areas exposed to corrosive or explosive gases
4) Areas exposed to vibration or shock of levels higher than that specified
5) Areas exposed to contact with water
6) Areas exposed to too much steam or dust
7) Areas where the light-receiving part of this device is directly exposed to light from
high-frequency fluorescent lamp (inverter type) or rapid starter fluorescent lamp.
 Installation
• Always keep the correctly calculated safety distance between this device and the
dangerous parts of the machine.
• Install extra protection structure around the machine so that the operator must pass
through the sensing area of this device to reach the dangerous parts of the machine.
• Install this device such that some part of the operator's body always remains in the
sensing area when operator is done with the dangerous parts of the machine.
• Do not install this device at a location where it can be affected by wall reflection.
• When installing multiple sets of this device, connect the sets and, if necessary, install
some barriers such that mutual interference does not occur.
• Do not use this device in a reflective configuration.
 Machine in which this device is installed
• Do not use this device as a safety equipment for a press machine.
• Do not install this device with a machine whose operation cannot be stopped
immediately in the middle of an operation cycle by an emergency stop equipment.
• This device starts the performance after 2 seconds from the power ON. Have the
control system started to function with this timing.
 Wiring
• Be sure to carry out the wiring in the power supply OFF condition.
• Do not use this device during the initial transient time (approx. 2 sec.) after the power
supply is switched ON.
• All electrical wiring should conform to the regional electrical regulations and laws.
The wiring should be done by engineer(s) having the special electrical knowledge.
