•
Muting sensors must be arranged so that they detect the material with a minimum
distance in front of the ESPE. A minimum distance of 40 mm … 60 mm between
the muting sensor and ESPE ensures the required processing time until muting is
activated,
and
see "Exit monitoring", page 30
•
If a muting connector is not used and both muting signals are on the extension
connection, the muting sensors must be arranged so that the signals arrive at the
device at different times
Complementary information
Muting sensors are available as accessories from SICK.

Muting arms
Overview
The muting sensors can be mounted on muting arms.
You can mount the muting arms on the following components of the protective device:
•
Active unit
•
Passive unit for short scanning ranges
•
Passive unit for long ranges
Depending on the variant, a maximum of 2 muting sensors can be mounted on one
muting arm.
The following muting variants can be implemented with the use of muting arms:
•
Cross muting
•
Exit monitoring
Adjusting muting arms
•
The muting arms can be moved vertically on the protective device components.
•
If the system plug SP1 is used, the muting arms can be positioned 10 mm below
the lowest light beam.
•
If the system plug SP2 is used, the muting arms can be positioned as follows:
Active unit and passive unit for short scanning range: The muting arms can be
positioned 44 mm above the lowest light beam.
Passive unit for long range: The muting arms can be positioned 65 mm above the
lowest light beam.
Positioning muting sensors on the muting arms
•
Muting sensors must be arranged so that a distance of 400 mm between the mut‐
ing sensor and the ESPE is not exceeded.
•
The muting sensors can be rotated horizontally by ±30 °.
•
The muting sensors can be tilted vertically by ±15.7 °.
Complementary information
The muting arms are available from SICK in short and long variants as accessories.

Cross muting
Overview
For muting using a crossed arrangement of the muting sensors, material can move
either from left to right or from right to left, i.e., material flow is possible in both direc‐
tions.
