Safety Light Curtain
53
Note that:
• The receiver only detects beams which correspond to its code.
• The first and the last beam in the safety field act as synchronization beams. One synchronization beam is
sufficient for the receiver to assign the coding and to synchronize the emitter and receiver.
• The beam coding is parametrized on the emitter and receiver.
• There is a choice between coding ON and coding OFF.
• The setting for matched emitters and receivers must be identical (both coding ON or both
coding OFF).
5.2.3.5 Range
• The range is the mechanically usable distance between the emitter and receiver.
• In order to prevent potential oversteering with short working distances and to limit the aperture angle, it
must be possible to set the range.
• The setting takes place on the emitter.
DANGER!
• The range must be set to suit the safety field width in the application to rule out ESPE
malfunctions.
• An incorrectly set range poses a risk to persons or the machine.
