Consult factory. Description The MicroSafe Flexible series consists of at least two transmitter and receiver segments, combined with an LCM-1 series controller and appropriate interconnecting cables. The ultra-compact transmitter and receiver dimensions allow the MicroSafe Flexible series to be mounted on small automatic assembly machines and in other applications where a light curtain was previously too large. The in-line connector cables allow the mounting of transmitter and receiver segments in crowded locations where a standard connector may not fit. The controller end of the cable is not terminated, which allows the length to be easily shortened in the field. Fast response time and resolution of 12 mm allow mounting light curtain closer to danger points of machining. For easy alignment, the MicroSafe Flexible series features STI s patented Individual Beam Indicator lights. DeviceNet Option See description on page C38. Applicable Controllers When combined with the LCM-1 series controller and associated cables, the MicroSafe Flexible series MCF4700 transmitters and receivers complete a safety light curtain system which has been EC type examined to the requirements of category 4, EN 954-1 (type 4, IEC 61496).

R MicroSafe MCF4700 Applications Specifications for Transmitter and Receiver Application 1 Here, a three-segment MicroSafe Flexible series system forms a U-shaped guard zone to protect all unguarded sides of a machine. Without the MicroSafe Flexible, mirrors or three conventional safety light curtains would have to be used. Application 2 In this application, two sets of MicroSafe Flexible series transmitters and receivers form an L-shaped guard zone. Should the machine operator penetrate the vertical segment, a stop signal will be sent to the guarded machinery. The horizontal segment guards the operator should he attempt to place his body between the vertical segment and the point of hazardous operation.

Indicates if the MicroSafe system is manufactured to low ESD requirements. This option is typically required where the build-up of an electrostatic charge on the light curtain and its subsequent discharge could harm the product being produced by the guarded machine (i.e. integrated circuits, disk drives, electronic components, etc.). On low ESD systems, transmitters and receivers are nickel plated and other modifications are incorporated. Designators are described below. 2 Information required. Represents the minimum object resolution of the light curtain in millimeters. All segments in a system will have the same minimum object resolution. Designators are described below.

Designator Description 3 3 meter (9.85 foot) 10 10 meter (32.8 foot) 30 30 meter (98.5 foot) 5 Information required. Represents the coverage height of all transmitter and receiver segments in a system. MicroSafe Flexible MCF4700 Series light curtains must have a minimum of two segments one first and one end. Up to two middle segments can be added. The total coverage height of a system with 12 mm minimum object resolution cannot exceed 1600 mm (63 inches). The total coverage height of a system with 20 mm or 30 mm minimum object resolution cannot exceed 2700 mm (1.063 inches). Combine the designators given here to complete field 4 in the model sequence. The combination for a three segment system with 12 mm minimum object resolution might look like 0300040002000. This means that the system has a 302 mm (11.89 in.) first segment, 402 mm (15.83 in.) middle segment, and a 202 mm (7.95 in.) end segment. Total system coverage height is 906 mm and does not exceed the stated 1600 mm (63 in.) maximum.

When used with mechanical power presses, OSHA industrial safety standards apply, as stated in 1910.217(c). For other applications, the machine guarding requirements found in section 1910.212 apply. The MicroSafe Flexible series meets ANSI control reliability requirements for point-ofoperation presence sensing devices. All controllers have CSA-CUS acceptance and are designed to meet UL508. MicroSafe Flexible series systems employing E series controllers have been EC type examined to the requirements of category 4, EN 954-1 (type 4, IEC 61496). The MicroSafe Flexible series should only be used on machinery that can consistently and immediately stop anywhere in its cycle or stroke. Never use a MicroSafe Flexible series on a full revolution clutched power press or machine. If the light curtain does not protect all access to the point of operation, the unprotected access must be guarded by other appropriate devices such as mechanical guards. The purchaser, installer and employer have the responsibility to meet all local, state and federal government laws, rules, codes or regulations relating to the proper use, installation, operation and maintenance of this control and the guarded machine. See the Installation and Operation Manual for additional information. All application examples described are for illustration purposes only. Actual installations will differ from those indicated. C61
