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

M X 4 “M” “DC” – “H” – “C”

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)

Examples:

MX4122 – 600 – SE (basic model, 22 mm detection capability, 600 mm protective field, emitter)

MX4230 – 900 – DE (advanced model, 30 mm detection capability, 900 mm protective field, detector)
