The
mounting brackets contain all necessary
mounting parts and a separate instruction sheet to
ensure that the parts are assembled properly.
5.1.7. Intelligent Laser
Alignment System ILAS
WARNING: Class 2 Laser
Do not expose your eyes to the
laser beam to prevent exposure to
dangerous radiation!
Turn ILAS off if not used!
To switch on ILAS:
• Touch the hand symbol
Operation: Laser beam is blinking
To switch off ILAS:
• Touch the hand symbol again
• Automatically after 5 minutes

5.1.8. Adjustment Procedure without ILAS
1. Mount the transmitter and the receiver with the
adjustable mounting brackets. Make sure that
the longitudinal axis of both are oriented parallel.
A spirit level might help to find the correct
position.
2.
Take care that the receiver and transmitter are
oriented in the same direction. This means, the
controllers of the transmitter and receiver have
to be at the same end of the protective field.
It is not allowed to mount GuardShield Safe 2
systems turned by 180° (Figure 10).

3. After aligning the longitudinal axis of transmitter
and receiver, rotate the receiver around the
longitudinal axis to find the receiving angle.
During rotation, the receiving angle is shown
when the green LED of the receiver controller is
on.
4. Adjust the receiver to the centre point of the
operating angle, and tighten.
5. After aligning the receiver rotate the transmitter
to find the emitting angle. During rotation, the
emitting angle is shown when the green LED of
the transmitter controller is on.
6. Adjust the transmitter to the centre point of the
operating angle, and tighten.
7. Control the operation of the GuardShield Safe
2 light curtain by using the test rod (Figure 12).
Introducing the test rod into the protective field
at any position must lead to a protective field
interruption (shining of the red LED on the re-
ceiver).
When mounting Perimeter Systems adjust the heights
according to the recommendations in the standard EN
999.

5.1.9. Adjustment Procedure with ILAS
1. Mount the transmitter and the receiver with the
adjustable mounting brackets. Look for that the
longitudinal axis of both are oriented parallel. Take
care that receiver and transmitter are orented in
the same direction. This means, the controllers of
transmitter and receiver have to be at the same
end of the protective field. It is not allowed to
mount GuardShield Safe 2 systems turned by 180°
(Figure 10).
2. The ILAS is activated by touching the hand symbol
at the transmitter resp. at the receiver.
3. Adjust the transmitter and receiver in a way that
both laser points hit the laser target on the opposite
unit. Small deviations are harmless as long as they
are within the aperture angle.
4. Tighten all screws firmly.
5. Switch the ILAS off when aligned.
6. Control the operation of the light curtain by using
the test rod (Figure 12). Introducing the test rod
into the protective field at any position must lead
to a protective field interruption (shining of the red
LED on the receiver).
5.1.10. Remarks to ILAS
Due to dimensional tolerances the red ILAS light
spot deflects from the target center when the light
curtain is aligned optimal in the center of the operating
range. The optimal operating point can be found after
alignment with ILAS (chapter 5.1.9) when moving the
axis in X- (left, right) and Z- (up, down) direction. The
optimal operating point is in the middle of the two end
points, where the receiver output switches from active
to inactive condition.

5.1.11. Testing the protection field
After Installation and Alignment of the GuardShield
Safe 2 safety light curtain, the protection field has
to be tested with the test rod for the corresponding
resolution (30 mm) according Figure 12.
When mounting Perimeter Systems adjust the heights
according to the recommendations in the standard
EN 999, RIA 15.06 or according to the prevailing local
regulation.
R
D
On optimal alignment of the light
curtain the ILAS light point can deflect
from the ILAS target point. The
maximum deflection adds up to the
following value due the operating
distance:
2 m R = 7 mm D = 7 mm
6 m R = 20 mm D = 21 mm
9 m R = 30 mm D = 32 mm
18 m R = 60 mm D = 63 mm
30 m R = 99 mm D = 105 mm
