5.2.4.7.9 Gap Suppression
For transport items with gaps, brief interruptions in the muting signal are to be expected. The “Gap Suppres-
sion” function ensures that a brief interruption in the detection does not result in the muting being terminated.
If the function is activated, interruptions of up to 250 ms are accepted in the signal from a MS.
DANGER!
• The “gap suppression” delays the termination of the muting by 250 ms.
• The user must ensure that, despite the set off-delay, no person can enter the danger zone.
5.2.4.7.10 Override
In some cases, a valid muting sequence can be interrupted due to the conveyor belt stopping, for example.
In this case, the object stops and prevents a valid muting sequence from being carried out. The Override
function enables the object to be transported out of the muting area despite the safety field being penetrated.
