²) In case of failure, the leakage current at the most flows to the OSSD
cable. The downstream control element must recognise this state as
LOW. A safety PLC must detect this state.
2.6 Response time (reaction time)
Standard version
The response time of the SLG 420 safety light grid depends on the
number of light beams and the beam coding A.

2.8 Functions
The system consists of a receiver and a transmitter. For the described
functions, no further switching elements are required. For the diag-
nostics and function selection, a user-friendly PC-software is offered as
accessory.
For the connection to a PC, the NSR-0801 BUS converter is required
(not included in delivery).
The system for the version SLC 420 has the following features:
• Protective mode (automatic start after release of the protected field)
• Start interlock
• Restart interlock (manual reset)
• Contactor control EDM
• Beam coding
• Blanking of one beam (only for 3- and 4-beam light grids)
Factory setting
The SLG 420 system features many functions without additional de-
vices. The following table includes an overview of the possible functions

2.8.1 Protective mode
The protective mode switches the OSSD outputs to ON state (protec-
tion field not interrupted), without external release of a switching device.
This type of protection generates an automatic restart of the machine if
the protection field is not interrupted.
This operating mode may only be chosen in conjunction with
the restart interlock (manual reset) of the machine.
This operating mode must not be chosen, when persons can
step behind the protection field.
