13.1 Changing scanner unit
If the safety sensor check or an error message indicates a defective scanner unit, change the scanner unit.
Only a trained and competent person is permitted to change the scanner unit.
The scanner unit is changed as follows:
• Detach the scanner unit from the connection unit.
• Attach the replacement scanner unit to the connection unit.
Undo the quick-release fasteners on both sides of the scanner unit.
Pull the scanner unit off the connection unit.
Place the new scanner unit on the connection unit.
Connect and lock the new scanner unit using the quick-release fasteners on both sides.
Check the configuration of the safety sensor (see chapter 9 "Configuring the safety sensor").
Check the safety sensor according to the routine for initial start-up (see chapter 11.1.1 "Checklist for
integrator – to be performed prior to the initial start-up and following modifications").
NOTICE
Safety sensor malfunction caused by dirt!
Perform all work in an environment which is as dust-free and dirt-free as possible.
Do not touch any of the parts inside the device.
WARNING
Malfunctioning of safety sensor due to incompatibility of connection unit and scanner unit! Malfunctioning
of safety sensor due to incorrect configuration!
Wherever possible, replace the scanner unit with a scanner unit with the same range and performance
class (e.g. RSL 420-M with RSL 420-M). The safety sensor configuration stored in the connection unit
is only adopted without changes if the new scanner unit supports all configured functions.
Change the configuration parameters of the safety sensor using the configuration and diagnostic soft
-
ware according to the performance class of the scanner unit or of the connection unit.
If a scanner unit is attached to a connection unit with a lower performance class (e.g. a scanner unit
RSL 430 to a connection unit CU416), the integrated cable management of the connection unit means
that only the functions of the lower performance class (of the connection unit) are available.
If a scanner unit is attached to a connection unit with a higher performance class (e.g. an RSL 420
scanner unit to a CU429 connection unit), the performance of the scanner unit restricts the functions
to those of the lower performance class (of the scanner unit).
Change the configuration parameters of the safety sensor using the configuration and diagnostic soft
-
ware according to the operating range of the replaced scanner unit.
If the scanner unit is replaced with a scanner unit with a different range (e.g. RSL 420-L with
RSL 420-M), you must check and, if necessary, adapt the configuration of the safety sensor.
Detailed information on attaching the scanner unit can be found in the document Quick Start
Guide RSL 400 .
If a preconfigured scanner unit is attached to a brand new, unconfigured connection unit, the
safety configuration stored in the scanner unit is transferred to the connection unit and you can
use the safety sensor without reconfiguration after a restart.
