8.3  Mismatch Detector Remote Test and Reset 

 
Terminals  are  provided  that  allow  for  remote  testing  and  resetting  of  the  mismatch  detector  if 
desired. For example, a key-operated switch could be connected to the terminals so that when it is 
set  one way  it  tests  the mismatch  detector,  and  when set  the other way  resets  it.  The  key is  then 
returned to the mid position and removed to allow normal operation to resume. 
 
The  ‘test’  switch should have  a  contact  which is  normally closed,  and which opens to  perform  the 
test. The ‘reset’ switch should have a contact which closes to reset the detector. 
 
If the test function is not used a wire link must be fitted across the ‘Test’ terminals. 
 
Contact Lasermet or your local distributor for assistance if you wish to use these features. 
 
 

LED Indicators 

 

Input LEDs A and B 

 
Two LED’s are provided for each of the six Interlock Inputs and the Emergency Stop Input. Each pair 
refers to an interlock switch or group of switches, depending on how the system has been wired up. 
 
For each Interlock, a pair of yellow LEDs indicate that the interlock is open. If the contact is not used 
and a wire link has been fitted, the corresponding LED will not illuminate. 
 
If  both  ‘A’  and  ‘B’  contacts  are  fitted and  it  is  observed  that  one LED  is on  and  the  other  off,  this 
indicates  a  fault  which  will  be  detected  by  the  mismatch  detector  if  it  is  enabled.  In  this  event 
operation of the unit will be inhibited. Please see the ‘Mismatch Detector’ section. 
 

‘Safety Loop Complete’ A and B 

 
These LED’s will light in green when both safety circuits are complete. 
 
The system will not arm if either or both LED’s are unlit. This may be due to any of the following: 
 

 

A door interlock switch is open, indicated by the ‘Input’ lights on the front panel. 

 

The  emergency  stop switch (if  present)  is activated, indicated  by  the  ‘E  Stop’  lights  on the 
front panel. Reset the switch to enable the system. 

 

The expansion board, if fitted, is not ready, or the termination plug has not been fitted. 

 

The safety circuit is faulty. 

 

‘Arm’ A and B 

 
The Arm indicators will illuminate blue when external contacts have closed in an attempt to arm the 
controller. The controller will not arm if only one channel is closed, indicated by only one light being 
illuminated.
