3.2 System Description
Banner S4B emitters and receivers provide a redundant, microprocessor-
controlled, opposed-mode optoelectronic safety light screen. S4B typically is
used for point-of-operation safeguarding, and is suited to safeguard a variety
of machinery.
The S4B emitters have a row of synchronized modulated infrared (invisible)
light-emitting diodes (LEDs) in a compact housing. Receivers have a
corresponding row of synchronized photodetectors. The light screen created by
the emitter and receiver is called the defined area; its width and height are
determined by the length of the sensor pair and the distance between them. The
defined area (sensing area) is equivalent to the height of the sensors. The
maximum sensing range is 12 m (39 ft), which decreases if corner mirrors or
lens shields are used. The sensing area extends from end to end of the
housing; there is no dead zone.
In typical operation, if any part of an operator’s body (or any opaque object)
of more than a pre-determined cross section is detected, the solid-state
Output Signal Switching Device (OSSD) safety outputs turn OFF. These safety
outputs are typically connected to an external monitoring device such as a
Banner XS26-2 Safety Controller.
Electrical connections (power, ground, inputs, and outputs) are made via M12
quick-disconnect connections.
All models require a supply voltage of +24 V DC ±15%.
Both the emitter and the receiver feature LEDs to provide continuous
indication of operating status and error conditions.
All models include the ability to select between two scan codes.

S4B Safety Light Curtain
3.3 Appropriate Applications and Limitations
WARNING: · Read this Section Carefully Before Installing the System · Failure
to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or death. · If all
mounting, installation, interfacing, and checkout procedures are not followed
properly, this Banner device cannot provide the protection for which it was
designed. · The user is responsible for ensuring that all local, state, and
national laws, rules, codes, or regulations relating to the installation and
use of this control system in any particular application are satisfied. Ensure
that all legal requirements have been met and that all technical installation
and maintenance instructions contained in this manual are followed. · The user
has the sole responsibility to ensure that this Banner device is installed and
interfaced to the guarded machine by Qualified Persons, in accordance with
this manual and applicable safety regulations. A Qualified person is a person
who, by possession of a recognized degree or certificate of professional
training, or who, by extensive knowledge, training and experience, has
successfully demonstrated the ability to solve problems relating to the
subject matter and work.
The Banner S4B is intended for point-of-operation machine guarding and other
safeguarding applications. It is the user’s responsibility to verify whether
the safeguarding is appropriate for the application and is installed, as
instructed by this manual, by a Qualified Person. The ability of the S4B to
perform its safeguarding function depends upon the appropriateness of the
application and upon its proper mechanical and electrical installation and
interfacing to the guarded machine. If all mounting, installation,
interfacing, and checkout procedures are not followed properly, the S4B cannot
provide the protection for which it was designed.
WARNING: · Install System Only on Appropriate Applications · Failure to follow
these instructions could result in serious injury or death. · Use Banner’s S4B
only on machinery that can be stopped immediately after a stop signal is
issued at any point in the machine’s stroke or cycle, such as part-revolution
clutched machines. Under no circumstances may the S4B be used on full-
revolution clutched machinery or in unsuitable applications. · If there is any
doubt about whether or not your machinery is compatible with the S4B, contact
Banner Engineering.
3.3.1 Appropriate Applications
S4B is typically used for, but is not limited to, the following applications:
· Small assembly equipment · Automated production equipment · Robotic work
cells · Molding and power presses · Assembly and packaging machines · Lean
manufacturing systems

S4B Safety Light Curtain
Figure 2. Typical Application
3.3.2 Examples: Inappropriate Applications
Do not use the S4B in the following applications:
· With any machine that cannot be stopped immediately after a stop signal is
issued, such as single-stroke (or fullrevolution) clutched machinery
· With any machine with inadequate or inconsistent machine response time and
stopping performance · With any machine that ejects materials or component
parts through the defined area · In any environment that is likely to
adversely affect photoelectric sensing efficiency. For example, corrosive
chemicals
or fluids or unusually severe levels of smoke or dust, if not controlled, may
degrade sensing efficiency · As a tripping device to initiate or reinitiate
machine motion (PSDI applications), unless the machine and its control
system fully comply with the relevant standard or regulation (see OSHA
29CFR1910.217, NFPA 79, ANSI B11.19, ISO 12100, IEC 60204-1, IEC 61496-1, or
other appropriate standard)
If the S4B is installed for use as a perimeter guard (where a pass-through
hazard may exist, see Reducing or Eliminating Pass-Through Hazards on page
18), the dangerous machine motion can be initiated by normal means only after
the safeguarded area is clear of individuals and the external safety
monitoring device has been manually reset.
3.4 Control Reliability: Redundancy and Self-Checking
Redundancy requires that S4B circuit components be backed up to the extent
that, if the failure of a single component will prevent effective machine
stopping action when needed, that component must have a redundant counterpart
which will perform the same function. The S4B is designed with redundant
microprocessors.
Redundancy must be maintained whenever the S4B is in operation. Because a
redundant system is no longer redundant after a component has failed, S4B is
designed to monitor itself continuously. A component failure detected by or
within the self-checking system causes a stop signal to be sent to the guarded
machine and puts the S4B into a Lockout condition.
A recovery from this type of Lockout condition requires: · Replacing the
failed component (to restore redundancy), and · Performing the appropriate
reset procedure.
3.5 Operating Features
The sensing resolution is determined by the emitter and receiver model.
WARNING: · Use of automatic (trip) or manual (latch) start/restart · Failure
to follow these instructions could result in a serious injury or death. ·
Applying power to the Banner device, clearing the defined area, or resetting a
latch condition must not initiate dangerous machine motion. Design the machine
control circuitry so that one or more initiation devices must be engaged to
start the machine (a conscious act), in addition to the Banner device going
into Run mode.
Emitter Wiring Options–An S4B emitter can be connected either to its own power
supply or to the receiver cable, color-forcolor. The color-for-color wiring
allows the emitter and receiver positions to be interchanged without rewiring.
Status Indicators–Status indicators on both the emitter and receiver are
clearly visible on each sensor’s front panel.

Zone 1 Indicator–indicates beam synchronization status
3.5.1 Trip Output
The System is configured for Trip Output which allows the System to enter Run
mode automatically. Other measures must be taken to prevent a pass-through
hazard; see Reducing or Eliminating Pass-Through Hazards on page 18 and the
warning below for more information.
The OSSD outputs turn ON after power is applied, and the receiver passes its
internal self-test/synchronization and recognizes that all beams are clear.
The Trip Output also automatically resets after all beams are cleared.
WARNING: · Use of automatic (trip) or manual (latch) start/restart · Failure
to follow these instructions could result in a serious injury or death. ·
Applying power to the Banner device, clearing the defined area, or resetting a
latch condition must not initiate dangerous machine motion. Design the machine
control circuitry so that one or more initiation devices must be engaged to
start the machine (a conscious act), in addition to the Banner device going
into Run mode.
3.5.2 Scan Code Configuration
Use the scan code to allow operation of multiple pairs of emitters and
receivers in close proximity without the effects of crosstalk.
The emitter and receiver may be configured to use one of two scan codes (1 or
2); a receiver recognizes light only from an emitter with the same scan code.
Set the scan code switches of the removable disconnect of each sensor (see
Scan Code Selection on page 28). Both the emitter and its corresponding
receiver must have the same setting.
The default setting is Scan Code 1.

S4B Safety Light Curtain
3.5.3 Weak Beam Strength Indication
Weak beam strength is indicated when one or more channels are made, but the
beam strength is marginal. This indication can be used to aid alignment of the
sensor and also to indicate when window cleaning might be needed. The Zone
indicator representing the area of the channel(s) with the weak beam strength
immediately turns yellow when the marginal signal is detected. The Weak Beam
Strength Output, receiver pin 5, turns ON any time one or more channels are
detected with a marginal signal for longer than 1 minute. After the signal
rises above the marginal level, the Weak Beam Strength Output turns OFF.

5 Mechanical Installation
The S4B system performance as a safety guarding device depends on: · The
suitability of the application · The proper mechanical and electrical
installation and interfacing to the guarded machine
WARNING: · Read this Section Carefully Before Installing the System · Failure
to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or death. · If all
mounting, installation, interfacing, and checkout procedures are not followed
properly, this Banner device cannot provide the protection for which it was
designed. · The user is responsible for ensuring that all local, state, and
national laws, rules, codes, or regulations relating to the installation and
use of this control system in any particular application are satisfied. Ensure
that all legal requirements have been met and that all technical installation
and maintenance instructions contained in this manual are followed. · The user
has the sole responsibility to ensure that this Banner device is installed and
interfaced to the guarded machine by Qualified Persons, in accordance with
this manual and applicable safety regulations. A Qualified person is a person
who, by possession of a recognized degree or certificate of professional
training, or who, by extensive knowledge, training and experience, has
successfully demonstrated the ability to solve problems relating to the
subject matter and work.
5.1 Mechanical Installation Considerations
The two primary factors that influence the layout of the S4B system mechanical
installation are: · Safety Distance (Minimum Distance) (see Calculating the
Safety Distance (Minimum Distance) on page 15) · Supplemental
safeguarding/eliminating pass-through hazards (see Reducing or Eliminating
Pass-Through Hazards on page 18)
Other considerations include: · Emitter and Receiver Orientation (see Emitter
and Receiver Orientation on page 22) · Adjacent Reflective Surfaces (see
Adjacent Reflective Surfaces on page 20) · Use of Corner Mirrors (see Use of
Corner Mirrors on page 21) · Installation of Multiple Systems (see
Installation of Multiple Systems on page 23)
WARNING: · Position the System Components Carefully · Failure to observe this
warning could result in serious injury or death. · Position the system
components such that the hazard cannot be accessed by reaching over, under,
around, or through the sensing field. Additional and supplemental guarding may
be required.
5.2 Calculating the Safety Distance (Minimum Distance)
Safety Distance (Ds), also called Minimum Distance (S), is the minimum
distance required between the defined area and the closest reachable hazard
point. The distance is calculated so that when an object or a person is
detected (by blocking a sensing beam), the S4B sends a stop signal to the
machine, causing it to stop by the time the object or person can reach any
machine hazard point.
The distance is calculated differently for U.S. and European installations.
Both methods take into account several factors, including a calculated human
speed, the total system stopping time (which itself has several components),
and the depth penetration factor. After the distance has been determined,
record the calculated distance on the Daily Checkout Card.
WARNING: · Calculate the Safety Distance (Minimum Distance) · Failure to
establish and maintain the safety distance (minimum distance) could result in
serious injury or death. · Mount the components at a distance from the nearest
hazard such that an individual cannot reach the hazard before cessation of the
hazardous motion or situation. Calculate this distance using the supplied
formulas, as described by ANSI B11.19 and ISO 13855. Mount the components more
than 100 mm (4 in) away from the hazard, regardless of the calculated value.

1600 mm per second (or 63 in per second), the OSHA 29CFR1910.217, and ANSI
B11.19 recommended hand-speed constant (see Note 1 below)
Ts the overall stop time of the machine (in seconds) from the initial stop
signal to the final ceasing of all motion, including stop times of all
relevant control elements (for example, XS26-2 Safety Controllers) and
measured at maximum machine velocity (see Note 3 below)
Tr the maximum response time, in seconds, of the S4B emitter/ receiver pair
(depending on model)
Dpf the added distance due to the depth penetration factor as prescribed in
OSHA 29CFR1910.217, and ANSI B11.19 for U.S. applications. See Depth
Penetration Factor (Dpf) table below or calculate using the formula (in mm):
Dpf = 3.4 × (S 7) where S is the resolution of the light curtain (for S 63
mm).
S the Minimum Distance, in mm, from danger zone to light screen center line;
minimum allowable distance is 100 mm ( 175 mm for non-industrial
applications), regardless of calculated value
K hand-speed constant (see Note 2 below); 2000 mm/s (for Minimum Distances <
500 mm) 1600 mm/s (for Minimum Distances > 500 mm)
T the overall machine stopping response time (in seconds), from the physical
initiation of the safety device and the machine coming to a stop (or the
hazard removed). This can be broken down into two parts: Ts and Tr where T =
Ts + Tr
C the additional distance, in mm, based on intrusion of a hand or object
towards the danger zone prior to actuation of a safety device. Calculate using
the formula (in mm):
C = 8 × (d – 14)
where d is the resolution of the light curtain (for d 40 mm), or use 850 mm
for C.

Notes: 1. The OSHA-recommended hand speed constant K has been determined by
various studies and, although these studies indicate speeds of 1600 mm/sec.
(63 in/sec.) to more than 2500 mm/sec. (100 in/sec.), they are not conclusive
determinations. Consider all factors, including the physical ability of the
operator, when determining the value of K to be used. 2. The recommended hand
speed constant K, derived from data on approach speeds of the body or parts of
the body as stated in ISO 13855. 3. Ts is usually measured by a stop-time
measuring device. If the machine manufacturer’s specified stop time is used,
at least 20% should be added to allow for possible clutch/ brake system
deterioration. This measurement must take into account the slower of the two
MPCE channels, and the response time of all devices or controls that react to
stop the machine.
WARNING: · Stop time (Ts) must include the response time of all devices or
controls that react to stop the machine · If all devices are not included, the
calculated safety distance (Ds or S) will be too short, which can lead to
serious injury or death. · Include the stop time of all relevant devices and
controls in your calculations. · If required, each of the two machine primary
control elements (MPCE1 and MPCE2) must be capable of immediately stopping the
dangerous machine motion, regardless of the state of the other. These two
channels of machine control need not be identical, but the stop time
performance of the machine (Ts, used to calculate the safety distance) must
take into account the slower of the two channels.
5.2.2 Examples
U.S. Applications, Model S4BR30-600-S
K = 63 inches per second (the hand speed constant set by OSHA) Ts = 0.31
(0.250 second is specified by the machine manufacturer; plus 20% safety
factor; plus 13 ms for XS26-2
Safety Controller response time) Tr = 0.010 seconds (the specified response
time of a S4BR30-600-S System) Dpf = 3.1 inches (30 mm resolution) Substitute
the numbers into the formula as follows:
Ds = K × ( Ts + Tr ) + Dpf
Ds = 63 × (0.31 + 0.010) + 3.1 = 23.3 in Mount the S4B emitter and receiver so
that no part of the defined area will be closer than 23.3 inches to the
closest reachable hazard point on the guarded machine.
European Applications, Model S4BR30-600-S
K = 1600 mm per second T = 0.32 (0.250 second specified by machine
manufacturer; plus 20% safety factor; plus 13 ms XS26-2 Safety
Controller response time), plus 0.010 seconds (the specified response time of
a S4BR30-600-S System) C = 8 × (30 14) = 128 mm (30 mm resolution)
Substitute the numbers into the formula as follows:
S = (K × T ) + C
S = (1600 × 0.32) + 128 = 640 mm Mount the S4B emitter and receiver so that no
part of the defined area will be closer than 640 mm to the closest reachable
hazard point on the guarded machine.

S4B Safety Light Curtain
5.3 Reducing or Eliminating Pass-Through Hazards
A pass-through hazard is associated with applications where personnel may pass
through a safeguard, such as the S4B Safety Light Curtain (which issues a stop
command to remove the hazard), and then continues into the guarded area. This
is common in access and perimeter guarding applications. Subsequently, their
presence is no longer detected, and the related danger becomes the unexpected
start or restart of the machine while personnel are within the guarded area.
In the use of light screens, a pass-through hazard typically results from
large safety distances calculated from long stopping times, large minimum
object sensitivities, reach-over, reach-through, or other installation
considerations. A pass-through hazard can be generated with as little as 75 mm
(3 in) between the sensing field and the machine frame or hard (fixed)
guarding.
Eliminate or reduce pass-through hazards whenever possible. While it is
recommended to eliminate the pass-through hazard altogether, this may not be
possible due to machine layout, machine capabilities, or other application
considerations.
One solution is to ensure that personnel are continually sensed while within
the hazardous area. This can be accomplished by using supplemental
safeguarding, such as described by the safety requirements in ANSI B11.19 or
other appropriate standards.
An alternative method is to ensure that after the safeguarding device is
tripped, the corresponding safety monitoring device latches and requires a
deliberate manual action to reset. This method of safeguarding relies upon the
location of the reset switch as well as safe work practices and procedures to
prevent an unexpected start or restart of the guarded machine. The S4B Safety
Light Curtain does not provide a configurable Manual Start/Restart (Latch
Output) function. For these applications, this function must be implemented in
the external safety monitoring device.
WARNING: · Use of the Banner device for Access or Perimeter Guarding · Failure
to observe this warning could result in serious injury or death. · If a Banner
device is installed in an application that results in a pass-through hazard
(for example, perimeter guarding), either the Banner device System or the
Machine Primary Control Elements (MPCEs) of the guarded machine must cause a
Latched response following an interruption of the defined area. The reset of
this Latched condition may only be achieved by actuating a reset switch that
is separate from the normal means of machine cycle initiation. Lockout/Tagout
procedures per ANSI Z244.1 may be required, or additional safeguarding, as
described by ANSI B11.19 safety requirements or other appropriate standards,
must be used if a passthrough hazard can not be eliminated or reduced to an
acceptable level of risk.
5.4 Supplemental Safeguarding
As described in Calculating the Safety Distance (Minimum Distance) on page 15,
position the S4B such that an individual cannot reach through the defined area
and access the hazard point before the machine has stopped.
Additionally, the hazard cannot be accessible by reaching around, under, or
over the defined area. To accomplish this, supplemental guarding (mechanical
barriers, such as screens or bars), as described by ANSI B11.19 safety
requirements or other appropriate standards, must be installed. Access will
then be possible only through the defined area of the S4B System or through
other safeguarding that prevents access to the hazard.
The mechanical barriers used for this purpose are typically called “hard
(fixed) guarding”; there must be no gaps between the hard (fixed) guarding and
the defined area. Any openings in the hard (fixed) guarding must comply with
the safe opening requirements of ANSI B11.19 or other appropriate standard.

This is an example of supplemental safeguarding inside a robotic work cell. The S4B, in conjunction with the hard (fixed) guarding, is the primary safeguard. Supplemental safeguarding (such as a horizontal-mounted safety light screen as an area guard) is required in areas that cannot be viewed from the reset switch (for example, behind the robot and the conveyor).
18
www.bannerengineering.com – Tel: + 1 888 373 6767
S4B Safety Light Curtain
Additional supplemental safeguarding may be required to prevent clearance or
trapping hazards (for example, a safety mat as an area guard between the
robot, the turntable, and the conveyor).
WARNING: · The hazard must be accessible only through the sensing field ·
Incorrect system installation could result in serious injury or death. · The
installation of the S4B must prevent any individual from reaching around,
under, over or through the defined area and into the hazard without being
detected. · See OSHA CFR 1910.217, ANSI B11.19, and/or ISO 14119, ISO 14120
and ISO 13857 for information on determining safety distances and safe opening
sizes for your guarding device. Mechanical barriers (for example, hard (fixed)
guarding) or supplemental safeguarding might be required to comply with these
requirements.
5.5 Reset Switch Location
The S4B has a trip output (auto power-up and automatic reset) that turns the
OSSD outputs ON when the defined area is unobstructed (clear). Per application
requirements, a latch response requiring a manual reset to a power-up
condition or after an interruption has cleared the defined area might be
required. The latch function can be provided by interfacing the S4B OSSD
outputs to the machine’s safety-related control system, a safety controller
(such as SC10-2roe or XS/SC26-2), or safety module (such as the UM-FA-9A/11A).
The system or device providing the latch/reset function must conform to the
level of performance required by the risk assessment. In applications
requiring Control Reliability and/or ISO 13849-1:2015 Categories 3 or 4 and PL
d or e, it is recommended that a monitored manual reset (for example, open-
closed-open action), such that a shorted or tied-down button cannot cause a
reset be used. The reset switch must be mounted at a location that complies
with the warning and guidelines below. If any hazardous areas are not in view
from the switch location, additional means of safeguarding must be provided.
The switch should be protected from accidental or unintended actuation (for
example, through the use of rings or guards). A key-actuated reset switch
provides some operator or supervisory control, as the key can be removed from
the switch and taken into the guarded area. However, this does not prevent
unauthorized or inadvertent resets due to spare keys in the possession of
others, or additional personnel entering the guarded area unnoticed. When
considering where to locate the reset switch, follow the guidelines below.
WARNING: · Install reset switches properly · Failure to properly install reset
switches could result in serious injury or death. · Install reset switches so
that they are accessible only from outside, and in full view of, the
safeguarded space. Reset switches cannot be accessible from within the
safeguarded space. Protect reset switches against unauthorized or inadvertent
operation (for example, through the use of rings or guards). If there are any
hazardous areas that are not visible from the reset switches, provide
additional safeguarding.
All reset switches must be: · Outside the guarded area · Located to allow the
switch operator a full, unobstructed, view of the entire guarded area while
the reset is performed · Out of reach from within the guarded area · Protected
against unauthorized or inadvertent operation (such as through the use of
rings or guards).
Important: Resetting a safeguard must not initiate hazardous motion. Safe work
procedures require a start-up procedure to be followed and the individual
performing the reset to verify that the entire hazardous area is clear of all
personnel before each reset of the safeguard is performed. If any area cannot
be observed from the reset switch location, additional supplemental
safeguarding must be used: at a minimum, visual and audible warnings of
machine start-up.

5.6 Other Considerations
5.6.1 Adjacent Reflective Surfaces
A reflective surface located adjacent to the defined area may deflect one or
more beams around an object in the defined area. In the worst case, an optical
short circuit may occur, allowing an object to pass undetected through the
defined area.
WARNING: · Do not install the system near reflective surfaces · Reflective
surfaces could reflect the sensing beam(s) around an object or person within
the defined area, preventing detection by the system. Failure to prevent
reflection problems results in incomplete guarding and an optical short
circuit that could result in serious injury or death. · Do not locate the
defined area near a reflective surface. Perform the trip test, as described in
the product documentation, to detect such reflection(s).
This reflective surface may result from shiny surfaces or glossy paint on the
machine, the workpiece, the work surface, the floor, or the walls. Beams
deflected by reflective surfaces are discovered by performing the trip test
and the periodic checkout procedures. To eliminate problem reflections:
· If possible, relocate the sensors to move the beams away from the reflective
surface(s) (see Figure 5 on page 20), being careful to maintain adequate
Safety Distance (Minimum Distance)
· Otherwise, if possible, paint, mask, or roughen the shiny surface to reduce
its reflectivity · Where these are not possible (as with a shiny workpiece or
machine frame), determine the worst-case resolution (see
Figure 6 on page 20) resulting from the optical short circuit and use the
corresponding depth penetration factor (Dpf or C) in the Safety Distance
(Minimum Distance) formula (see Calculating the Safety Distance (Minimum
Distance) on page 15); or mount the sensors in such a way that the receiver’s
field of view and/or the emitter’s spread of light are restricted from the
reflective surface · Repeat the trip test (see Trip Test under Initial
Checkout Procedure on page 30) to verify these changes have eliminated the
problem reflection(s). If the workpiece is especially reflective and comes
close to the defined area, perform the trip test with the workpiece in place

To determine the worst-case resolution, select larger test pieces (represented by the light gray circle) and perform a Trip Test. The midpoint between the emitter and receiver may cause the most optical short circuits. The test piece that passes the Trip Test determines the worst-case resolution for this installation.

5.6.2 Use of Corner Mirrors
S4B may be used with one or more corner mirrors. Mirrors are not allowed for
applications that would allow undetected personnel access into the safeguarded
area.
The use of glass-surface corner mirrors reduces the maximum specified
emitter/receiver separation by approximately 8 percent per mirror, as follows:

See the specific mirror datasheet or www.bannerengineering.com for more
information.
If mirrors are used, the difference between the angle of incidence from the
emitter to the mirror and from the mirror to the receiver must be between 45°
and 120°. If placed at a sharper angle, an object in the light screen may
deflect beam(s) to the receiver, preventing the object from being detected,
also know as false proxing. Angles greater than 120° result in difficult
alignment and possible optical short circuits.
WARNING: · Retroreflective Mode Installation · Failure to follow these
instructions may create unreliable sensing and may result in serious injury or
death.
· Do not install emitters and receivers in retroreflective mode with less than
a 45° angle of incidence. Install emitters and receivers at an appropriate
angle.

5.6.3 Emitter and Receiver Orientation
The emitter and receiver must be mounted parallel to each other and aligned in
a common plane, with both machine interface cable ends pointing in the same
direction. Never mount the emitter with its machine interface cable end
oriented in the opposite direction of the cable end of the receiver. If this
occurs, voids in the light screen may allow objects or personnel to pass
through the defined area undetected. The emitter and receiver may be oriented
in a vertical or horizontal plane, or at any angle between horizontal and
vertical, as long as they are parallel to each other and their cable ends
point in the same direction. Verify that the light screen completely covers
all access to the hazard point that is not already protected by hard (fixed)
guarding or other supplemental guarding.
WARNING: · Properly install system components · Incorrectly orienting the
system components impairs the performance of the system and results in
incomplete guarding, which can result in serious injury or death. · Install
the system components with their corresponding cable ends pointing in the same
direction.

5.6.4 Installation of Multiple Systems
Whenever two or more S4B emitter and receiver pairs are adjacent to one another, optical crosstalk may take place between the systems.
To minimize optical crosstalk, alternate the positions of the emitters and
receivers as shown in Figure 11 on page 24, or alternate scan codes.
When three or more systems are installed in the same plane, optical crosstalk
may occur between sensor pairs whose emitter and receiver lenses are oriented
in the same direction. In this situation, eliminate optical crosstalk by
mounting these sensor pairs exactly in line with each other within one plane,
or by adding a mechanical barrier between the pairs as shown in Figure 11 on
page 24.
Figure 10. Optical Crosstalk
Emitter 2

WARNING: · Adjacent components can synchronize incorrectly · The light
curtain’s safety function is reduced when components are not synchronized
correctly, creating an unsafe condition that could result in serious injury or
death. · When multiple systems are mounted closely together, or where a
secondary emitter is in view (within ±5°) and within range of an adjacent
receiver, a receiver can synchronize to the signal from the wrong emitter,
reducing the safety function of the light curtain.
To further aid in avoiding crosstalk, the sensors feature two selectable scan
codes. A receiver set to one scan code will not respond to an emitter set to
another code. The emitter and receiver within a system must be set to the same
scan code.
Scan codes are set via the switches in the removable DES4E-… cordsets on the
emitters and receivers. See Scan Code Selection on page 28 for the switch
settings.

· Do not connect multiple pairs of sensors to a single device.
5.7 Mounting System Components
5.7.1 Mounting Hardware
After the mechanical layout considerations are addressed, mount the sensors
and route the cables. All brackets are ordered separately; no brackets are
shipped with the sensors. The quantity of brackets ordered and the placement
of those brackets must ensure the unsupported distance (distance between
brackets) is less than 900 mm (35.4 in).

S4B Safety Light Curtain
Mounting the S4BA-MBK-16 Side-Mount Bracket
The S4BA-MBK-16 brackets are ordered separately. Two brackets are included in each kit.
Figure 12. Side-Mount Bracket
· See Sensor Mounting and Mechanical Alignment Verification on page 26 for
additional mounting recommendations
· The machine interface connector ends of both sensors must point in the same
direction
· The sensors are designed to be mounted with up to 900 mm (35.4 in) of
unsupported distance between brackets when they are subject to shock or
vibration
Note: Note: It is best to place brackets near the ends of each sensor (not on
end caps). Add additional brackets per sensor as needed to meet 900 mm
unsupported distance requirement. This means that 300 mm to 900 mm sensors can
use two brackets per sensor, while 1050 mm to 1800 mm sensors should use three
brackets per sensor.
· See Brackets on page 47 for mounting bracket dimensions
· The M4 bolts, washers, and nuts are user-supplied
Note: Use washers under the screw heads to minimize bracket damage.
1. From a common point of reference (ensuring the calculated minimum safety
distance), measure to position the emitter and receiver in the same plane,
with their midpoints directly opposite each other.
The connector ends of both sensors must point in the same direction (see
Emitter and Receiver Orientation on page 22). 2. Mount the emitter and
receiver side brackets to the desired surface with user-supplied M4 bolts,
washers, and nuts. Tighten to 2.15 N·m (19 in·lbs). 3. Loosen the M4 clamp
screws on the side brackets enough to easily insert a sensor. 4. Insert each
sensor in to its respective brackets with the front window facing out of the
opening in the front of the bracket.
Note: The sensors need to lightly snap into the brackets. If the sensors will
not install easily, loosen the M4 clamp screws to allow the clamps to slide
out of the way of the sensor.
5. Position the emitter and receiver windows directly facing each other. 6.
Measure from a reference plane, for example, a level building floor, to the
same point(s) on the emitter and receiver
to verify their mechanical alignment. Use a carpenter’s level, a plumb bob, or
the optional LAT-1 Laser Alignment Tool (see Alignment Aids on page 50) or
check the diagonal distances between the sensors, to achieve mechanical
alignment. See Sensor Mounting and Mechanical Alignment Verification on page
26. 7. Temporarily tighten all fasteners that allow for adjustment. Final
alignment procedures are explained in Initial Checkout Procedure on page 30.
8. After the emitter and receiver alignment is completed, tighten the bracket
front M4 clamp screws to 2.15 N·m (19 in·lbs).
Note: Each bracket has two clamp screws. Both clamp screws on every bracket
need to be fully tightened to provide sufficient strength to hold the sensor.
Do not reposition the sensor when the clamps are mostly or fully tightened.
Doing so could damage clamp pads.

6 Electrical Installation and Testing
The following are the main steps to electrically install the S4B components
and interface with the guarded machine.
WARNING: · Read this Section Carefully Before Installing the System · Failure
to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or death. · If all
mounting, installation, interfacing, and checkout procedures are not followed
properly, this Banner device cannot provide the protection for which it was
designed. · The user is responsible for ensuring that all local, state, and
national laws, rules, codes, or regulations relating to the installation and
use of this control system in any particular application are satisfied. Ensure
that all legal requirements have been met and that all technical installation
and maintenance instructions contained in this manual are followed. · The user
has the sole responsibility to ensure that this Banner device is installed and
interfaced to the guarded machine by Qualified Persons, in accordance with
this manual and applicable safety regulations. A Qualified person is a person
who, by possession of a recognized degree or certificate of professional
training, or who, by extensive knowledge, training and experience, has
successfully demonstrated the ability to solve problems relating to the
subject matter and work.
1. Routing cordsets and making initial electrical connections (see Routing
Cordsets on page 28 and Initial Electrical Connections on page 30).
2. Apply power to each emitter/receiver pair (see Initial Electrical
Connections on page 30). 3. Perform an Initial Checkout Procedure (see Initial
Checkout Procedure on page 30). 4. Make all electrical interface connections
to the guarded machine (see Electrical Connections to the Guarded Machine
on page 34). 5. Perform a commissioning checkout procedure (see Commissioning
Checkout on page 36).
6.1 Routing Cordsets
Attach the required cordsets to the sensors, and route the sensor cables to
the junction box, electrical panel, or other enclosure in which the other
safety-related parts of the control system are located. This must be done per
local wiring code for low-voltage dc control cables and may require
installation of electrical conduit.
See Accessories on page 47 for selection of Banner supplied cables.
The S4B is designed and manufactured to be highly resistant to electrical
noise and to operate reliably in industrial settings. However, extreme
electrical noise may cause a random Trip condition; in extreme cases, a
Lockout is possible.
Emitter and receiver wiring is low voltage; routing the sensor wires alongside
power wires, motor/servo wires, or other high voltage wiring may inject noise
into the S4B System. It is good wiring practice, and sometimes may be required
by code, to isolate emitter and receiver cables from high-voltage wires and to
avoid routing cables close to sources of noise.
Sensor cabling and any interconnect wiring should have an insulation
temperature rating of at least 90 °C (194 °F).

Note: Emitter and receiver power (current) requirements are accounted for. The above values represent additional current draw that must be accounted for.
Note: Maximum cordset lengths are intended to ensure that adequate power is available to the S4B when the supply is operating at +20 V DC. Values in the previous table are worse case. Contact Banner Engineering if there are any questions.
6.2 Scan Code Selection
The emitter and receiver may be configured to one of two Scan Codes (1 or 2).
A receiver recognizes light only from an emitter with the same scan code. Both
the emitter and its corresponding receiver must have the same scan code
setting. The scan code must be configured with power off because the DES4E-..
RD to M12 cordset assemblies must be removed from the units.
28
www.bannerengineering.com – Tel: + 1 888 373 6767
S4B Safety Light Curtain The default scan code setting is scan code 1. To
change the scan code setting, use the following instructions.
1. Remove the DES4E-51D cordset from the sensor by loosening the two screws
(#1 Phillips drive). Note: The screws are captive screws and should not be
removed from the cordset assembly.

S4B Safety Light Curtain
6.3 Initial Electrical Connections
WARNING: · Risk of electric shock · Use extreme caution to avoid electrical
shock. Serious injury or death could result. · Always disconnect power from
the safety system (for example, device, module, interfacing, etc.), guarded
machine, and/or the machine being controlled before making any connections or
replacing any component. Lockout/tagout procedures might be required. Refer to
OSHA 29CFR1910.147, ANSI Z244-1, or the applicable standard for controlling
hazardous energy. · Make no more connections to the device or system than are
described in this manual. Electrical installation and wiring must be made by a
Qualified Person 4 and must comply with the applicable electrical standards
and wiring codes, such as the NEC (National Electrical Code), NFPA 79, or IEC
60204-1, and all applicable local standards and codes.
Lockout/tagout procedures may be required (refer to OSHA1910.147, ANSI Z244-1,
ISO 14118, or the appropriate standard for controlling hazardous energy). Make
the electrical connections in the order described in this section. Do not
remove end-caps; no internal connections are to be made. All connections are
made through the DES4E-51D connection.
Emitter Cordset S4B emitters require a mating 5-pin cordset, but not all
conductors are used. The other wires are in place to allow a parallel
connection (color-for-color) to the receiver cable, providing sensor
interchangeability (or “swapability”); either sensor may be installed at
either cordset connection. In addition to providing similar cabling, this
wiring scheme is advantageous during installation, wiring, and
troubleshooting.
Receiver Cordset Do not connect any wires to the machine control circuits
(OSSD outputs) at this time.
6.4 Initial Checkout Procedure
The initial checkout procedure must be performed by a Qualified Person. It
must be performed only after configuring the System and after connecting the
components. Perform this procedure to:
· Ensure proper installation when the System is first installed · Ensure
proper System function whenever any maintenance or modification is performed
on the System or on the
machinery that is guarded by the System.
6.4.1 Configuring the System for Initial Checkout
For the initial checkout, the S4B System must be checked without power
available to the guarded machine. Final interface connections to the guarded
machine cannot take place until the light screen system has been checked out.
This may require lockout/tagout procedures (refer to OSHA1910.147, ANSI
Z244-1, ISO 14118, or the appropriate standard for controlling hazardous
energy). The OSSD connections will be made after the initial checkout
procedure has been successfully completed. Verify that:
· Power has been removed from (or is not available to) the guarded machine and
its controls or actuators · The machine control circuit or the
Safety/Interface Module is not connected to the OSSD outputs at this time
(permanent connections will be made later)
6.4.2 Apply Initial Power to the S4B System
1. Inspect the area near the light screen for reflective surfaces, including
work pieces and the guarded machine. Reflective surfaces may cause light beams
to reflect around a person in the light screen, preventing the person from
being detected and not stopping the machine motion (see Adjacent Reflective
Surfaces on page 20).
2. Eliminate the reflective surfaces as much possible by relocating,
painting, masking, or roughening them. Remaining problem reflections will
become apparent during the trip test.

professional training, or who, by extensive knowledge, training and
experience, has successfully demonstrated the ability to solve problems
relating to the subject matter and work.

S4B Safety Light Curtain
3. Verify that power is removed from the S4B System and from the guarded
machine and that the OSSD safety outputs are not connected.
4. Remove all obstructions from the light screen. 5. With the power to the
guarded machine off, connect +24 V DC (brown wire) and 0 V DC (blue wire) on
both the
emitter and receiver cables to a SELV-rated power supply (see Wiring Diagrams
on page 38). 6. Power up the S4B System only. 7. Verify that the input power
is present to both the emitter and the receiver. At least one indicator on
both the emitter
and the receiver should be on and the start-up sequence should cycle. 8. Watch
both the emitter and the receiver Status indicators and the receiver Zone
indicators to determine the light
screen alignment status. · Emitter Lockout Condition–the emitter’s red Status
indicator is single-flashing and the receiver’s red Status
indicator is on. Proceed to Troubleshooting on page 42 for diagnostic
information. · Receiver Lockout Condition –the receiver Status indicator is
single-flashing red. Proceed to Troubleshooting
on page 42 for diagnostic information. · Normal Operating Mode (emitter)–The
green Status indicator is on. · Clear (Run) Condition (receiver)–The green
Status indicator is on. All green Zone indicators are on. · A Blocked
Condition (receiver)–The red Status indicator is on and one or more red Zone
indicator(s) are on,
identifying the location of the blocked beams. Proceed to Optically Align the
System Components on page 31.
Note: If beam 1 is blocked, Zone indicator 1 is red and all others are off.
Beam 1 provides the synchronization signal.
See Operating Features on page 10 for indicator and display information.
6.4.3 Optically Align the System Components
To verify the optimal alignment, adjust the sensor rotation with the power on
and follow these steps.
WARNING: · Hazard exposure · Failure to follow these instructions could result
in serious injury or death. · Verify that no individuals are exposed to any
hazard if the output signal switching device (OSSD) outputs turn on when the
emitter and receiver become aligned.
Before beginning, verify the sensor mounting. 1. Verify that the emitter and
the receiver are pointed squarely at each other. The sensor face must be
perpendicular to the optical axis.
If the Channel #1 beam is not aligned, the Status and Zone 1 indicators are
red and Zone indicators 23 are off.
2. If the green Status indicator is on, go to the next step. If not, rotate
each sensor (one at a time) left and right until the green Status indicator is
on. (As the sensor rotates out of alignment, the red Status indicator turns
on). As more beams are aligned, the Zone indicators turn from red to green.
3. Optimize alignment and maximize excess gain.

S4B Safety Light Curtain
a) Slightly loosen the sensor mounting screws. b) Rotate one sensor left and
right, noting the positions in each arc where the Status indicators turn red
(Blocked
condition) or a zone indicator turns yellow (weak beam strength); repeat with
the other sensor. c) Center each sensor between those two positions. d)
Tighten the mounting screws, making sure to maintain the positioning as the
screws are tightened. If at any time the red Status indicator begins to flash,
the System has entered a Lockout condition. See Troubleshooting on page 42 for
further information.

6.4.4 Optical Alignment Procedure with Mirrors
S4B sensors may be used with one or more corner mirrors for guarding more than
one side of an area. The MSM-… and SSM-… rear-surface glass mirrors are rated
at 85% efficiency. Thus, excess gain and sensing range are reduced when using
mirrors; see Use of Corner Mirrors, under Mechanical Installation
Considerations on page 15. During any adjustments, allow only one individual
to adjust any one item at any one time. In addition to the standard optical
alignment procedure, verify:
1. The emitter, receiver, and all mirrors are level and plumb. 2. The middle
of the defined area and the center point of the mirrors are approximately the
same distance from a
common reference point, such as the same height above a level floor. 3. There
are equal amounts of mirror surface above and below the defined area such that
the optical beams are not
passing below or above the mirror.

6.4.5 Conduct a Trip Test
After optimizing the optical alignment and configuring fixed blanking and/or
reduced resolution (if applicable), perform a trip test to verify the
detection capability of the S4B System.
This test also verifies correct sensor orientation, identifies optical short
circuits, and verifies the expected resolution for applications using reduced
resolution. After the installation has passed the trip test, the safety
outputs may be connected and the commissioning checkout may be performed
(initial installations only).

1. Select the proper test piece, ordered separately.
For 30 mm resolution models: use the 30 mm (0.94 in ) diameter model STP-14.
2. Verify that the System is in run mode, the green Status indicator is on,
and all Zone indicators are green. 3. Pass the specified test piece through
the defined area in three paths: near the emitter, near the receiver, and
midway
between the emitter and receiver.

4. During each pass, while the test piece is interrupting the defined area,
at least one Zone indicator must be red. The red Zone indicator must change
with the position of the test piece within the defined area. The Status
indicator must turn red and remain red for as long as the test piece remains
in the defined area. If not, the installation has failed the trip test.
If all Zone indicators turn green or fail to follow the position of the test
piece while it is within the defined area, the installation has failed the
trip test. Check for correct sensor orientation or reflective surfaces. Do not
continue until the situation is corrected.
When the test piece is removed from the defined area, the green Status
indicator must turn on.
WARNING: · Trip test failure · Using a system that has failed a trip test can
result in serious bodily injury or death. If the trip test has failed, the
system might not stop dangerous machine motion when a person or object enters
the sensing field. · Do not attempt to use the system if the system does not
respond properly to the trip test.
5. If mirrors are used in the application: Test the defined area on each leg
of the sensing path (for example, emitter to mirror, between mirror and
receiver).

6. If the S4B System passes all checks during the trip test, go on to
Electrical Connections to the Guarded Machine on page 34.
6.5 Electrical Connections to the Guarded Machine
Verify that power has been removed from the S4B and the guarded machine. Make
the permanent electrical connections as required by each individual
application. Lockout/tagout procedures may be required (refer to OSHA
1910.147, ANSI Z244-1, ISO 14118, or the appropriate standard for controlling
hazardous energy). Follow relevant electrical standards and wiring codes, such
as the NEC, NFPA79 or IEC 60204-1. Supply power should already be connected.
The S4B must also have been aligned and passed the Initial Checkout, as
described in Initial Checkout Procedure on page 30. The final connections to
be made or verified are:
· OSSD outputs
WARNING: · Risk of electric shock · Failure to follow these instructions could
result in serious injury or death. · Disconnect or turn off power before
installing, removing, or servicing the device. · Install and connect the
device in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and any
applicable local code requirements and supply the device with an appropriate
fuse box or circuit breaker (see Specifications).
6.5.1 Protective Stop (Safety Stop) Circuits
A protective stop (safety stop) allows for an orderly cessation of motion for
safeguarding purposes, which results in a stop of motion and removal of power
from the Machine Primary Control Elements (MPCE) (assuming this does not
create additional hazards). A protective stop circuit typically comprises a
minimum of two normally open contacts from forced-guided, mechanically linked
relays, which are monitored through External Device Monitoring (EDM) to detect
certain failures, to prevent the loss of the safety function. Such a circuit
can be described as a “safe switching point”. Typically, protective stop
circuits are either single channel, which is a series connection of at least
two normally open contacts; or dual-channel, which is a separate connection of
two normally open contacts. In either method, the safety function relies on
the use of redundant contacts to control a single hazard. If one contact fails
ON, the second contact arrests the hazards and prevents the next cycle from
occurring. The interfacing of the protective stop circuits must be
accomplished so that the safety function cannot be suspended, overridden, or
defeated, unless accomplished in a manner of the same or greater degree of
safety as the machine’s safety related control system that includes the S4B. A
Banner XS26-2 Safety Controller with XS1ro or XS2ro Relay Expansion Module,
Banner SC10-2roe Safety Controller, or Banner UM-FA-xA Universal Safety Module
provides a series connection of redundant contacts that form protective stop
circuits for use in either single-channel or dual-channel control.
Output Signal Switching Devices (OSSDs) and External Device Monitoring (EDM)
The S4B is able to detect faults on OSSD1 and OSSD2. These faults include
short circuits to +24 V DC and 0 V, and between OSSD1 and OSSD2. Both Output
Signal Switching Device (OSSD) outputs must be connected to the machine
control so that the machine’s safety-related control system interrupts the
circuit or power to the Machine Primary Control Element(s) (MPCE), resulting
in a non-hazardous condition. Final Switching Devices (FSDs) typically
accomplish this when the OSSDs go to an OFF state. Refer to the output
specifications in the Receiver Specifications and these warnings before making
OSSD output connections and interfacing the S4B to the machine.
34
www.bannerengineering.com – Tel: + 1 888 373 6767
S4B Safety Light Curtain
WARNING:
· Interfacing both output signal switching devices (OSSD)
· Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or
death.
· Unless the same degree of safety is maintained, never wire an intermediate
device(s) (PLC, PES, PC) between the safety module outputs and the master stop
control element it switches such that a failure causes a loss of the safety
stop command or the failure allows the safety function to be suspended,
overridden, or defeated.
· Connect both OSSD outputs to the machine control so that the machine’s
safety-related control system interrupts the circuit to the machine primary
control element(s), resulting in a nonhazardous condition.
WARNING: · OSSD Interfacing · Failure to properly interface the OSSD Outputs
to the guarded machine could result in serious injury or death. · To ensure
proper operation, the Banner device output parameters and machine input
parameters must be considered when interfacing the Banner device OSSD outputs
to machine inputs. Design machine control circuitry so that all of the
following are true:
The maximum load resistance value is not exceeded.
The maximum specified OSSD OFF-state voltage does not result in an ON
condition.
External device monitoring (EDM) is a function used to monitor the state of the external, positively guided (mechanically linked) machine control contacts (FSDs and/or MPCEs). The S4B System does not include the EDM function. As a result, the S4B System should be used with an external safety monitoring device that monitors the status of the two S4B OSSDs and is capable of providing the EDM function. Examples of appropriate external safety monitoring devices include Banner XS/SC26 Safety Controllers, SC10-2roe Safety Controller, Banner UM-FA-9A and UM-FA-11A Universal Input Safety Modules, and Safety PLCs.

WARNING: · The S4B does not have external device monitoring (EDM). · If EDM is required for the application, it must be implemented in the external control.
6.5.2 Preparing for System Operation
After the initial trip test has been accomplished, and the OSSD safety outputs
connections have been made to the external control device, the S4B is ready
for testing in combination with the guarded machine.
The operation of the S4B with the guarded machine must be verified before the
combined System and machine may be put into service. To do this, a Qualified
Person must perform the Commissioning Checkout Procedure. See Commissioning
Checkout on page 36.

6.5.3 Sensor Interchangeability
The figures and table below illustrate a wiring option that provides sensor
interchangeability (or swapability)–the ability to install either sensor at
either QD connection.
The resulting installation provides the ability to swap the emitter and
receiver position. This wiring option provides advantages during installation,
wiring, and troubleshooting.
To use this option, connect all emitter wires in parallel (color-for-color) to
the receiver cable via individual wires or the CSB.. splitter cordset.

6.5.4 Commissioning Checkout
Perform this checkout procedure as part of the System installation after the
System has been interfaced to the guarded machine, or whenever changes are
made to the System (either a new configuration of the S4B or changes to the
machine).
WARNING: · Do not use the system until the checkouts are verified · Attempts
to use the guarded/controlled machine before these checks are verified could
result in serious injury or death. · If all these checks cannot be verified,
do not attempt to use the safety system that includes the Banner device and
the guarded/controlled machine until the defect or problem has been corrected.
A Qualified Person must perform the procedure. Checkout results should be
recorded and kept on or near the guarded machine as required by applicable
standards.
To prepare the System for this checkout:
1. Examine the guarded machine to verify that it is of a type and design
compatible with the S4B System. See Examples: Inappropriate Applications on
page 10 for a list of misapplications.
2. Verify that the S4B is configured for the intended application.

S4B Safety Light Curtain
3. Verify that the safety distance (minimum distance) from the closest danger
point of the guarded machine to the defined area is not less than the
calculated distance, per Calculating the Safety Distance (Minimum Distance) on
page 15.
4. Verify that: a) Access to any dangerous parts of the guarded machine is
not possible from any direction not protected by the S4B System, hard (fixed)
guarding, or supplemental safeguarding, and b) It is not possible for a person
to stand between the defined area and the dangerous parts of the machine, or
c) Supplemental safeguarding and hard (fixed) guarding, as described by the
appropriate safety standards, are in place and functioning properly in any
space (between the defined area and any hazard) which is large enough to allow
a person to stand undetected by the S4B.
5. If used, verify that all reset switches are mounted outside and in full
view of the guarded area, out of reach of anyone inside the guarded area, and
that means of preventing inadvertent use is in place.
6. Examine the electrical wiring connections between the S4B OSSD outputs and
the guarded machine’s control elements to verify that the wiring meets the
requirements stated in Electrical Connections to the Guarded Machine on page
34.
7. Inspect the area near the defined area (including work pieces and the
guarded machine) for reflective surfaces (see Adjacent Reflective Surfaces on
page 20). Remove the reflective surfaces, if possible, by relocating them,
painting, masking or roughening them. Remaining problem reflections will
become apparent during the Trip Test.
8. Verify that power to the guarded machine is off. Remove all obstructions
from the defined area. Apply power to the S4B System.
9. Observe the Status indicators and Diagnostic Display: · Lockout: Red
Status flashing; all others off · Blocked: Red Status on; one or more red Zone
indicators on · Clear: Green Status on; all green Zone indicators on
10. A Blocked condition indicates that one or more of the beams is misaligned
or interrupted. See Optically Align the System Components on page 31 to
correct this situation.
11. After the green Status indicator is on, perform the trip test (Conduct a
Trip Test on page 32) on each sensing field to verify proper System operation
and to detect possible optical short circuits or reflection problems. Do not
continue until the S4B passes the trip test.
Important: Do not expose any individual to any hazard during the following
checks.
WARNING: · Clear the guarded area before applying power or resetting the
system · Failure to clear the guarded area before applying power could result
in serious injury or death. · Verify that the guarded area is clear of
personnel and any unwanted materials before applying power to the guarded
machine or before resetting the system.
12. Apply power to the guarded machine and verify that the machine does not
start up. 13. Interrupt (block) the defined area with the test piece and
verify it is not possible for the guarded machine to be put into
motion while the beam(s) is blocked. 14. Initiate machine motion of the
guarded machine and, while it is moving, use the test piece to block the
defined area.
Do not attempt to insert the test piece into the dangerous parts of the
machine. Upon blocking any beam, the dangerous parts of the machine must come
to a stop with no apparent delay. 15. Remove the test piece from the beam;
verify that the machine does not automatically restart, and that the
initiation devices must be engaged to restart the machine. 16. Remove
electrical power to the S4B. Both OSSD outputs should immediately turn Off,
and the machine must not be capable of starting until power is re-applied to
the S4B. 17. Test the machine stopping response time, using an instrument
designed for that purpose, to verify that it is the same or less than the
overall system response time specified by the machine manufacturer.
Do not continue operation until the entire checkout procedure is complete and
all problems are corrected.

S4B Safety Light Curtain
7 System Operation
7.1 Security Protocol
Certain procedures for installing, maintaining, and operating the S4B must be
performed by either Designated Persons or Qualified Persons. A Designated
Person is identified and designated in writing, by the employer, as being
appropriately trained and qualified to perform system resets and the specified
checkout procedures on the S4B. The Designated Person is empowered to:
· Perform manual resets and hold possession of the reset key · Perform the
Daily Checkout Procedure A Qualified Person, by possession of a recognized
degree or certificate of professional training, or by extensive knowledge,
training, and experience, has successfully demonstrated the ability to solve
problems relating to the installation of the S4B System and its integration
with the guarded machine. In addition to everything for which the Designated
Person is empowered, the Qualified Person is empowered to: · Install the S4B
System · Perform all checkout procedures · Make changes to the internal
configuration settings · Reset the System following a Lockout condition
7.2 Normal Operation
7.2.1 System Power-Up
When power is applied, each sensor conducts self-tests to detect critical
internal faults, determine configuration settings, and prepare the S4B for
operation. If either sensor detects a critical fault, scanning ceases, the
receiver outputs remain Off and diagnostic information displays. If no faults
are detected, the S4B automatically enters Alignment mode, and the receiver
looks for an optical sync pattern from the emitter. If the receiver is aligned
and receives the proper sync pattern, it enters Run mode and begins scanning
to determine the blocked or clear status of each beam. No manual reset
operation is required.
7.2.2 Run Mode
If any beams become blocked while the S4B is running, the receiver outputs
turn Off within the stated S4B response time (see Specifications on page 13).
If all the beams then become clear, the receiver outputs come back On. No
resets are needed. All required machine control resets are provided by the
machine control circuit. Internal Faults (Lockouts): If either sensor detects
a critical fault, scanning ceases, the receiver outputs turn Off and
diagnostic information displays. See Troubleshooting on page 42 for resolution
of error/fault conditions.
7.2.3 Emitter Indicators
A single Status indicator shows whether power is applied, and whether the
emitter is in Run mode or a Lockout condition. Two Scan Code indicators show
the scan code assigned to the emitter.
Emitter Operating Status Power-up

7.2.4 Receiver Indicators
A single Status indicator shows when the OSSD outputs are on (green) or off
(red), or the System is in a Lockout condition (flashing red).
Zone indicators show whether a section of the defined area is aligned and
clear, is blocked and/or misaligned, or is a section that has a channel with a
weak beam strength. All models have three Zone indicators, each of which
indicates Blocked/Clear/ Weak Beam Strength conditions for approximately 1/3
of the total light screen.

7.3 Periodic Checkout Requirements
To ensure continued reliable operation, the System must be checked out
periodically. Banner Engineering highly recommends performing the System
checkouts as described below. However, a Qualified Person should evaluate
these recommendations, based on the specific application and the results of a
machine risk assessment, to determine the appropriate content and frequency of
checkouts.
At every shift change, power-up, and machine setup change, the Daily Checkout
should be performed; this checkout may be performed by a Designated or
Qualified Person.
Semi-annually, the System and its interface to the guarded machine should be
thoroughly checked out; this checkout must be performed by a Qualified Person
(see Schedule of Checkouts on page 44). A copy of these test results should be
posted on or near the machine.
Whenever changes are made to the System (either a new configuration of the S4B
System or changes to the machine), perform the Commissioning Checkout (see
Commissioning Checkout on page 36).
Note: Verify Proper Operation
The S4B can operate as it is designed only if it and the guarded machine are
operating properly, both separately and together. It is the user’s
responsibility to verify this, on a regular basis, as instructed in Schedule
of Checkouts on page 44. Failure to correct such problems can result in an
increased risk of harm.
Before the System is put back into service, verify that the S4B System and the
guarded machine perform exactly as outlined in the checkout procedures and any
problem(s) are found and corrected.
5 If beam 1 is blocked, Zone indicators 23 will be Off, because beam 1 provides the synchronization signal for all the beams.

8 Troubleshooting
8.1 Lockout Conditions
A Lockout condition causes both S4B OSSD outputs to turn off or remain off, sending a stop signal to the guarded machine. Each sensor provides diagnostic error codes to identify the cause(s) of lockouts (see Troubleshooting on page 42). The following tables indicate a sensor lockout condition:
Emitter Lockout Conditions
Status indicator
Flashing Red
Receiver Lockout Conditions Status indicator Zone indicators
Flashing Red See Receiver Error Codes on page 42
To recover from a Lockout condition, correct all errors and cycle power to the device.
8.2 Receiver Error Codes
Indicators
Flashing
Error Description
Output Error caused by: · one or both outputs being shorted to a power supply
(high or low) · by shorting OSSD 1 to OSSD 2 · by an overload (greater than
0.5 A)
Appropriate Action
· Disconnect the OSSD loads and reset the receiver. · If the error clears, the
problem is in the OSSD load(s) or in the
load wiring. · If the error continues with no load connected, replace the
receiver.
Flashing
Receiver Error occurs because of excessive electrical noise or an internal failure
· Perform a reset per Checkout Procedures: Shift and Daily Checkout Procedure.
· If the error clears, perform a Daily Checkout procedure (per Checkout
Procedures: Shift and Daily Checkout Procedure; Daily Checkout Card) and if
the System checks out, resume operation. If the System fails the Daily
Checkout procedure, replace the receiver.
· If the error clears, check the external connections and configuration
settings.
· If the error continues, replace the receiver.
8.3 Electrical and Optical Noise
The S4B is designed and manufactured to be highly resistant to electrical and
optical noise and to operate reliably in industrial settings. However, serious
electrical and/or optical noise may cause a random nuisance trip. In extreme
electrical noise cases, a Lockout is possible. To minimize the effects of
transitory noise, the S4B responds to noise only if the noise is detected on
multiple consecutive scans. If random nuisance trips occur, check the
following:
· Optical interference from adjacent light screens or other photoelectrics ·
Sensor input or output wires routed too close to noisy wiring
8.3.1 Checking for Sources of Electrical Noise
All S4B wiring is low voltage; running these wires alongside power wires,
motor/servo wires, or other high-voltage wiring can inject noise into the S4B
System. It is good wiring practice (and may be required by code) to isolate
S4B wires from highvoltage wires.
1. Use the Banner model BT-1 Beam Tracker Alignment Aid (see Accessories on
page 47) to detect electrical transient spikes and surges.
2. Cover the lens of the BT-1 with electrical tape to block optical light
from entering the receiver lens.
42
www.bannerengineering.com – Tel: + 1 888 373 6767
S4B Safety Light Curtain
3. Press the RCV button on the BT-1 and position the Beam Tracker on the
wires going to the S4B or any other nearby wires.
4. If the BT-1’s indicator lights, check for sources of electrical noise and
separate the S4B cordset from any high-voltage wiring, if applicable.
5. Install proper transient suppression across the load to reduce the noise.
8.3.2 Check for Sources of Optical Noise
1. Turn off the emitter or completely block the emitter. 2. Press the RCV
button on the Banner BT-1 Beam Tracker Alignment Aid and move it across the
full length of the
receiver’s sensing window to check for light at the receiver. 3. If the BT-1’s
indicator lights, check for emitted light from other sources (other safety
light screens, grids or points, or
standard photoelectric sensors).

9 Checkout Procedures
This section lists the schedule of checkout procedures and describes where
each procedure is documented. Checkouts must be performed as described.
Results should be recorded and kept in the appropriate place (for example,
near the machine, and/or in a technical file).
Banner Engineering highly recommends performing the System checkouts as
described. However, a Qualified Person (or team) should evaluate these generic
recommendations considering their specific application and determine the
appropriate frequency of checkouts. This will generally be determined by a
risk assessment, such as the one contained in ANSI B11.0. The result of the
risk assessment will drive the frequency and content of the periodic checkout
procedures and must be followed.

11.9 MSM Series Corner Mirrors
· Compact for light-duty applications · Rear-surface glass mirrors are rated
at 85% efficiency. The total sensing range decreases by approximately 8% per
mirror. See the MSM Series Corner Mirror datasheet (p/n 43685) or
http://www.bannerengineering.com for further information. · Mounting brackets
may be inverted from the positions shown (flanges pointing “inward” instead of
“outward,” as shown). When this is done, dimension L1 decreases by 57 mm. ·
MSAMB adapter bracket kit included with each MSA stand.
