should remain in place unless you plan to add more slave blanking windows (next

Installing Slave Windows
DANGER
!
INCORRECT SAFETY DISTANCE WHEN USING BLANKING WINDOWS
•
Ensure that the correct safety distance exists between the light curtain and the hazardous
area. See Chapter 2 for detailed information on object sensitivity, depth penetration factor
and calculating the safety distance.
•
When more than one beam is blanked, but the blanked area is not completely obstructed,
the depth protection factor is at least 36” (914.4 mm).
•
Maintain access to blanking master and slave windows under supervisory control to avoid
unauthorized usage.
Failure to comply with these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
DANGER
!
UNPROTECTED ZONE DUE TO EXTRA BLANKING WINDOWS
•
DO NOT blank more than two beams of the light curtain unless a conveyor or other object
completely fills the blanked area, or if you use barrier guards to block any unfilled areas.
•
Remove blanking windows when they are no longer needed.
•
Maintain access to blanking master or slave windows under supervisory control to avoid
unauthorized usage.
Failure to comply with these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
You can add up to 4 slave blanking windows to the master. Follow these steps.
1. Locate the slave blanking window. If you have more than 1 slave, repeat these steps for
each.
2. Just as with the master, the slave blanking window attaches to the receiver by sliding it
down from the top (must be above the master or another slave). See Figures 3-1 and 3-2
from the previous section.
NOTICE
The master blanking window must always be installed at the lowest blanked beam. Install
slaves above the master.
3. Remove the 2 tiny plastic coverings on the top of the master blanking window.
Remember these should only be removed when you plan to add slave blanking windows.
4. Position the slave window over the front of the receiver. Loosen the thumbscrew on the
right side of the slave window. This will allow it to slide down easily.
