Connect to the controller:
Once the transmitter and receiver are mounted,
the next step is to connect the cables. The cables
are color-coded – white for transmitter and blue
for receiver. Connect the corresponding cables
together at the M8x4 connectors. Then route the
cables back to the controller. Secure the cables
in place, allowing enough slack so that they can
bend freely, without becoming snagged on any
moving parts.
Connect the AMP connector on the transmitter
and receiver cables to CON #1 and CON #2 on
the controller. The transmitter and receiver can
be connected to either mating connector. Each
connector should be oriented so that the blue wire
connects on the right hand side of the mating
connector on the controller (Pin 1 / 0 V).
This completes the electrical connection and
mounting. The next step is to verify that the
system operates correctly.
Power-up and Test:
Turn on power after the light curtain has been
correctly installed. Verify that the system operates
in accordance with your application requirements.
There is an optical indicator (LED) in both the
transmitter and receiver that provides light curtain
status information.

Troubleshooting:
If the light curtain system does not operate as
expected, use the following troubleshooting steps:
1. Switch off the light curtain and then switch it on
again (i.e. cycle power).
2. Is the green indicator LED in the transmitter
edge ON? If not, verify that the voltage at Pin
2 (labeled 12v) of the transmitter is between
14 V DC and 30 V DC.
3. Is the orange LED in the receiver edge ON?
If yes, make sure there are no obstacles
between the transmitter and the receiver.
If there are no objects, but the LED remains
on, verify that the voltage at Pin 2 (labeled
12v) of the receiver is between 14 V DC and
30 V DC.
If the output signal of the receiver is not stable
during door closing, make sure that:
a. The cables have not been routed near
sources of electrical noise that can be
generated by a door drive or other device.
b. No obstacles are entering the detection
field during door closure.
c. The edges are properly installed so that
they cannot swing or vibrate, thus causing
misalignment.
d. The optical elements of the edges are clean
and not covered by dust or dirt.
