Indicators

The MX series of light curtains are designed with multiple indicators to facilitate its use and indicate the status of the unit at any given time.

3 Bright LED indicators

• Red/ green for status
• Blue solid indicates active blanking mode
• Blue flashing indicates muting
• Yellow solid indicating Lock-out condition
• Yellow Flashing for interlock condition is engaged
• Each beam has its own red status indicator on the detector unit
• Red Beam status indicators also designate the blanked out region by blinking

7 Segment dsiplay is turned on when required for additional information and system errors

Paremetrization/Teach-in Interface

All operational parameters of the MX4000 series of light curtains can be configured according to the specific requirements of the end users using the MX4000-PT unit. With this simple and reliable tool the user may program parameters for blanking, muting and other functions without the use of computers or additional software.

Model designation

Where:

• "M" (model) is 1 (basic) or 2 (advanced, blanking and muting capabilities)
• "DC" (detection capability) is 14, 22, 30, 38 or 82 mm
• "H" (protective field height) is 300, 450, 600, 750, 900, 1200, 1500 or 1800 mm
• "C" (column) is SE (emitter) or SD (detector), (for single column systems)
