5.2. Electrical Installation
5.2.1. Connection diagram
The transmitter and receiver are connected to the
machine control using a 5-wire cable.
For the transmitter and the receiver two M12 (for
cable - Ø 3 ... 6.5 mm)

Transmitter and receiver are supplied with M12/5
pin connectors The wiring is given in Figure 14 and
Figure 15.
5.2.2. Test input to transmitter
Normally the test input at the transmitter is installed
with a short circuit jumper to activate the transmitter. If
an external test is desired, a contact can be connected
to the test input (Figure 13).

The following points have to be considered:
• In case of operation in the modus “self monitoring”
both OSSD outputs have to be connected
separately to the safety switching of the machine.
GuardShield Safe 2:
• In case of connecting an external test it could be
that, depending on the test type, only one OSSD
output (OSSD1 or OSSD2) has to be considered.
The timing of test input is as follows (Figure 16):

5.2.3. Power supply
GuardShield Safe 2 safety light curtains are devices
of electrical safety level III (extra low voltage). 24 VDC
± 20 % has to be supplied by a power supply that
complies with IEC / EN 60204 and IEC / EN 60742.
Such a power supply meets the electrical safety
requirements and maintains the minimum power of 18
VDC during 20 ms even in the event of voltage dips.
5.2.4. Bringing into operation
After the power supply has been applied to the
GuardShield Safe 2 and the automatic power-up test
is successfully completed (power up test time < 3 s)
the green LED on the receiver and transmitter will light
on. The system is now ready to operate.

The automatic power-up test will only be successful,
if the transmitter and receiver are properly aligned,
correctly connected and the protective field is not
interrupted.
Any intrusion of an object into the protective field will
switch the OSSDs off within the specified response
time and the LED at the receiver toggles from green
to red.
5.2.5. Outputs
The two redundant Output Signal Switching Devices
(OSSD) are fully monitored. Any short circuits are
detected. The maximum load is 0.4 A, higher currents
are limited through short circuit protection. Increased
output loads may be realized using external safety
interfaces.
Important information:
Safety devices for connection of GuardShield Safe 2
the must be built with PNP logic. The outputs will be
periodically controlled for short-circuit and cross-fault
detection.
The output voltage at the solid-state outputs is
dependant on the power supply and the output load
(see chapter 11 Technical Data).
5.2.6. Trouble shooting
Possible errors and operation status are indicated with
the LED indicators on the transmitter and receiver.
Also the Optical Interface has an option that can be
used for the diagnostics
Following combinations are relevant:
