6.5.3 Input Configuration
Figure 50. Input Configuration screen
1. Under Safety Zone in the Input Functions section, configure the Restart Mode.
• Automatic—The scanner automatically returns the OSSD pair to the On-State after all detected objects are
removed from the Safety Zone and the configured Recovery Time elapses.
• Manual—The scanner returns the OSSD pair to the On-State after all detected objects are removed from the
Safety Zone and a manual Restart switch (reset push-button) is pressed for at least 500 ms, but no longer than
4.5 seconds.
2. Define the Recover Time.
This parameter is only configured for Automatic Restart Mode. The Recover Time is the time between the object
removal from the Safety Zone and the OSSDs going to the On-State. Select the time to elapse before the OSSD pair
returns to the On-State. The minimum time is 200 ms. This can be increased to 60,000 ms in 1 ms increments.
Default: 200 ms
3. Define the Muting Type.
If muting is not selected, this option is grayed out. The Muting function can be used in two different configurations.
• Bidirectional—Used when objects can pass through the Safety Zone from either direction; requires two or four
muting sensors be connected to the scanner inputs
• Unidirectional—Used when objects can pass through the Safety Zone from only one direction (out of the
hazardous area); requires two muting sensors be connected to the scanner inputs
• M coeff.—If Unidirectional Muting is selected, the M coeff is displayed. The M coefficient is the time delay
multiplier that times out the Muting function after a mute sensor clears (typically mute 1). The M coeff can be set
from 2 to 16. This is the multiplier of the activation delay between the initiation of the two muting sensors. The
maximum amount of time that the system will stay muted after the clearing of mute 1 is M Coeff × Max Inputs
Delay (actual elapsed time between the activation of mute 1 and mute 2).
4. Define the Max Inputs Delay (seconds).
The maximum allowable time delay between activation of mute 1 and mute 2. This parameter can be set from 1 to
16 seconds with the default being 4 seconds. If muting is disabled, this field cannot be adjusted.
CAUTION: The maximum input delay is based on the conveyor speed and package length. Set
the delay long enough to ensure only the package is passing through the curtain and short
enough to prevent inappropriate or unintended muting cycles.
