SPG functions and operating modes
The different SPG functions are grouped into several operating modes. Each operating mode is to be con-
sidered a complete parameter set.
• The operating mode is hardwired via a wire bridge in the connection cable. In the event of a device ex-
change, it is neither necessary nor possible to configure the sensor.
• The number of the selected operating mode is displayed statically on the 7-segment display of the re-
ceiver.
• Operating mode 1: SPG with qualified stop function (see chapter 4.4.1 "Operating mode 1 - Qualified
• Operating mode 4: Standard SPG with short tolerance times (see chapter 4.4.2 "Operating mode 4 -
standard with short tolerance times")
• Operating mode 5: Standard SPG (see chapter 4.4.3 "Operating mode 5 - Standard")
• Operating mode 6: SPG with qualified stop function and partial gating (see chapter 4.4.4 "Operating
