Warning! Use of Exact channel Select and/or Floating Blanking will make the 4700 system less
sensitive to objects in the detection zone. Improper use of either can result in severe injury to
personnel. Exact Channel Select may require a hard barrier guard (see section
Blanking requires an increase in the safety distance. Read section 5 carefully.
When Exact Channel Select and/or Floating Blanking are active the user must verify that the detection
zone is being used as intended, including the size and location of the selected/blanked beams.
Check for the following condition:
1. That unauthorized modification of the detection zone is not possible. The controller should be
installed in an enclosure with supervisor-controlled access.
2. That the area selected by Exact Channel Select is:
a. Completely blocked by an obstruction; or
b. that those areas not blocked by an obstruction are protected by supplemental guarding.
If neither of these conditions can be met, the safe mounting distance of the 4700 system should be
modified in accordance with the safe mounting distance formulas presented in Section 8
3. Using a proper size test object and the method described in Section 11.3
check those areas which have not been programmed by Exact Channel Select. Be sure that they have
not been accidientally selected as well.
