4.3 Monitor Output
Non-safety monitor outputs are also provided for all
six zones. These outputs can be configured either
normally open or normally closed. The monitor
outputs should be wired in such a way to indicate the
status of both safety output relays. As an example, if
both safety outputs are connected as normally open
(contacts closed when the mat and or light curtain is
clear) the monitor relay output should be wired as
normally closed. Therefore, when the safety outputs
are open (contacts open when the mat and or light
curtain are activated), the monitor outputs will be
closed. These outputs can be used for non-safety
related functions such as displays and status
indications. It must not be used for safety related
machine control and switching functions.

4.4 Printed Circuit Board LEDS
On the main printed circuit board, adjacent to the
sensor/ light curtain terminal blocks are a series of red
LEDS. The LEDS are placed in pairs to coincide with
the location of the inputs of the sensors and light
curtains. The purpose of these LEDS is to indicate the
status of the sensing device that is being used. If both
LEDS are illuminated, this indicates that the sensing
device is open or clear. If both LEDS are off, this
indicated that the sensing device is closed or blocked.
If only one of the LEDS is illuminated, this indicates
that there is a problem with the sensor wiring or
sensor (mat, edge, and bumper, etc.). In a light curtain
application a single LED will indicate that one of the
receiver outputs is inoperative or not connected.
