CD298/151110 T4 SERIES
INTRODUCTION
The T4 series safety light curtain from Smartscan is a full feature solution for
‘high risk’ machine guarding applications such as presses and injection
moulding machines.
It provides the ideal solution for machine guarding applications requiring finger,
hand or body protection with Scanning ranges from 0.5m to 20m. The model
range includes detection lengths from 141mm up to 2391mm and 14mm,
30mm and 40mm Object Detection Capability (ODC). In addition the T4 series
also includes a range of body detection light curtains for guarding around the
perimeter of a dangerous machine.
The T4 series has an integrated dip switch to allow the user to select from a
range of functions. A typical example would include the need to configure the
floating blanking function when there is a requirement for an object to be
positioned in the detection area of the T4 series light curtain.
To meet the demanding control requirements of the modern automation
market the T4 series has a full range of sophisticated control features
including, fixed blanking, floating blanking, muting, muting timers (mute time
out, mute delay off and mute beam disparity), partial / learn fixed muting,
External Device Monitoring (EDM), automatic or latched restart and restart
interlock.
T4 Series Safety Light Curtains
The T4 series has a IP65 rating and includes flexible mounting brackets as
standard. The Smartscan design team have positioned the status indication
LEDs at the top of the safety light curtain where they provide greater visibility
and ease of use for the operator.
In addition we have also designed a range of dedicated safety relay output
units, the RY4 series. Included in the range is an innovative option with RJ45

INTRODUCTION
connection for a simple plug & play link between the light curtain and the
safety relay unit. The unit is designed to simplify connection and help reduce
installation time and costs for the customer.
The T4 series meets the very highest standards for safety – Third Party
Approved for compliance to the latest European Standards including BS EN
61496-1 and BS IEC 61496-2. Rated as a Type 4 device the T4 series is
suitable for ALL machine applications including those categorised ‘high risk’.
T4 series safety light curtains – offer a full feature solution for all your
‘high risk’ industrial machine safety applications.
Typical machine safeguarding applications include:
Press brakes
Power presses
Mechanical presses
Robotic work cells
Wood working machines
Guillotines
Metal folding machines
Injection moulding machines
T4 series safety light curtains comply with British and International Safety
Standards for safety light curtains BS EN 61496-1 and BS IEC 61496-2 Type
4. They are normally used in situations which demand a high level of safety
integrity, where the risk assessment for the safety related parts of a control
system, as indicated in EN ISO 13849 – 1, EN 62061 and (BS EN 954-1)
determines a requirement up to and including PL e, SIL 3 and (Category 4)
control equipment.

T4 SERIES SAFETY LIGHT CURTAIN
The Smartscan T4 series safety light curtain consists of the transmitter and
receiver head and two connection cables that link the system.
The cables are connected via industry standard 8 pin M12 connectors to the
bottom of the transmitter and receiver head. Adjustable mounting brackets are
included as standard providing flexible mounting and adjustment. The diagram
below shows the basic connection and status indication.
Relay Output Option
The T4 series incorporates two fail-safe electronic output switches as
standard. If there is a requirement for relay output switching we provide a
selection of dedicated units in the RY4 series or the Multifunction safety unit
(MFU) 011-160.
The RY4 series of relays have been designed to provide easy connection of
the T4 series. The units mirror the T4 series functions and offer a different
number of normally open safety contacts.
In addition the RY4C offers simple RJ45 connection from the T4 series to the
relay unit significantly reducing installation time and further simplifying
connection.

Mirror Units
Two or three sides of a machine can be safeguarded with a single light curtain
by using mirrors to deflect the light curtain’s infra-red beams.
The Smartscan mirror system provides a sturdy floor mounting kit together with
an aluminium column for mounting the mirror. The mirror assembly simply
slots onto the column and can be adjusted to the height required for the
application.
The special mounting stand enables the mirror unit to be rotated through 360
degrees while also allowing full adjustment in all axes.
