TROUBLESHOOTING

 

The number of times the fault indicator (yellow) blinks indicates the 
type of error state, as follows.

Blinking

Description of error

Cause / Remedy

2 times

Internal relay contact is 
weld

The contact was weld due to the lifetime of the 
relay. 
Replace this product by new one.

3 times

power supply or internal 
circuit failure

Check the noise environment. 
Check the wiring, power supply voltage and 
voltage capacity.

 

Make sure that this product and the light curtain are connected to the 
common power supply.

 

When the sensor doesn't operate properly even if the remedies de-

scribed above are taken, contact our office.

 

Interval of blinking for the fault indicator (yellow) is approx. 0.6 sec. 
Check the number of times the indicator blinks for approx. 2 sec. from 
the indicator “OFF” period. 

WARNING

Install a RESET switch in palace where it is possible to see all over the 
dangerous zone and outside of the zone.

<Manual reset>

• In case of the manual reset, configure the back check circuit between X1

and X2. If it is not necessary to check KA and KB, short-circuit KA and KB.

Do not connect anything to X3.

The unit operates by the trailing operation of the external reset button.

Two or more units cannot be controlled by an external reset button.
Prepare the external reset button for unit by unit.

<Auto reset>

• In case of the auto reset, configure the back check circuit between X1 and X3.

If it is not necessary to check KA and KB, short-circuit between X1 and X3.

Do not connect anything to X2.

Avoid auto-reset of the system after emergency stop by using the other

MOUNTING TERMINAL BLOCK

 

When connecting to the terminal 
block, insert a solid wire or twisted 
wire (lead wire) with a ferrule (sleeve) 
terminal (please arrange separately) 
into the hole till it stops as shown in 
the figure right. The wire is locked 
when it is properly inserted. However, 
do not to pull the wire with excessive 
force, as this can cause a cable break.

 

When connecting the twisted wire (lead wire) 
without a ferrule (sleeve) terminal, insert the 
wire to the innermost of the connecting hole 
while pressing the release button. 

 

When releasing the solid wire or the 
twisted wire (lead wire), pull the wire 
while pressing the release button.

SHORT-CIRCUIT PROTECTION

 

The power supply unit of this equipment adopts the electronic fuse 
which do not require any replacement.

 

When the electronic fuse is operated, turn OFF the power supply, and remove 
the cause of overcurrent before restarting the power supply for resetting.

 

The electronic fuse is not suitable to use in which the equipment is 
operated continuously or daily. Note that operating the equipment con-

tinuously may be unable to satisfy the specifications.

FUNCTIONS

 

Trailing edge switching function

This function is to accept the input when the reset switch is pressed (con-
tact “close”) and then released (contact “open”) at the manual start setting.
An unexpected start-up due to the welded reset switch can be avoided.
