CAUTION
DO NOT WAIT FOR AN ACCIDENT TO OCCUR BEFORE PERFORMING PREVENTATIVE
MAINTENANCE. WIPE THE SENSOR AND REFLECTOR DOWN AT REGULAR INTERVALS TO
PREVENT DUST BUILD-UP THAT MAY INHIBIT THE SENSOR SIGNAL.
LED Status
Information and Corrective Action(s)
Green LED is OFF
The green LED indicates power to the sensor. Check
for power to the brown wire, and ensure the blue wire
is properly grounded. If there is power to the sensor
but the green LED is still OFF, contact your Magnetek
representative for a replacement.
Yellow LED is OFF
The yellow LED is OFF when the sensor or crane is at
a safe distance from the reflector. If there is power to
the sensor and the distance between the sensor and
reflector is closer than the set trip point, this LED
should be ON. If it is OFF at that distance, check for
misalignment and objects in front of the sensor.
Yellow LED is ON or
FLASHING
If the yellow LED is ON or FLASHING, the crane has
reached an unsafe distance (trip point), and should
stop before collision. Move the crane away from the
object in order to turn the LED OFF.
The DIP switch settings are used to control the delay function available with the ReFlx 45. Figure 10
below shows how this can be used.
