• EDM is configured and wired per application requirements (1-channel or no monitoring, see
6.3.2 Initial Power-Up
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
2. Eliminate the reflective surfaces as much as possible by relocating, painting, masking, or roughening them.
Remaining problem reflections will become apparent during the trip test.
3. Verify that power is removed from the EZ-SCREEN LS Basic 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, make external device monitoring (EDM), power, and earth ground
connections on both the emitter and receiver cables (see
(brown wire) and 0 V dc (blue wire) should be connected to a SELV-rated supply and GND (green/yellow wire) to
earth ground. If the installation does not allow direct connection to earth ground via the cordset, the earth ground
must be provided via the mounting brackets.
6. Power up the EZ-SCREEN LS Basic 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 Alignment indicators to determine the
light screen alignment status:
• An Emitter Lockout Condition—the emitter Status indicator is single-flashing red; the receiver Status
indicator is solid red, and the receiver's 7-segment display reads CH1.
• A Receiver Lockout Condition—the receiver Status indicator is single-flashing red, with Alignment and Run
mode indicators Off, and the receiver 7-segment display shows an Error Code.
• Normal Operating Mode (emitter)—the Status indicator is solid green.
• Clear (Run) Condition (receiver)—the Status indicator is solid green, and the Run mode indicator is solid
amber. All Alignment indicators are solid green.
• A Blocked Condition (receiver)—The Status indicator is solid red, Run mode indicator is solid amber, one or
more Alignment indicator(s) are solid red, identifying the location of the blocked beams, and the number of
blocked beams is displayed.
Note: If beam 1 is blocked, the Alignment indicator 1 will be red and all others Off. Beam 1 provides
the synchronization signal.
9. Proceed to
on page 36.
6.3.3 Optical Alignment
CAUTION: Ensure that no individuals are exposed to any hazard if the OSSD outputs turn ON when the emitter and
receiver become aligned.
Verify the optimal alignment, adjusting the sensor rotation with the power on:
1. Verify that the emitter and the receiver are pointed squarely at each other. Use a straight edge (for example, a level)
to determine the direction the sensor is facing. The sensor face must be perpendicular to the optical axis.

Indicator LEDs
All OFF
Note: At power-up, all indicators are tested (flash), then the Scan Code is displayed.
2. Turn on the power to the emitter and receiver. If the Channel #1 beam is not aligned, the Status and Alignment
indicator 1 will be red, the Run mode indicator will be off, and the 7-segment display sequentially indicates CH1. All
the Alignment indicators (2-n) will be off.
