Factors for 30 mm resolution Systems
Hard guarding refers to mechanical barriers such as sheet or expanded metal, etc. See Figure 5-3
Adding Hard guarding to Light Curtain when Using Channel Select
for an example.
Floating Blanking changes the resolution (object size) of the 4700 system and will require different
mounting distance.

Warning!
To prevent unauthorized modification of the sense field, the system controller should be installed in
an enclosure with supervisor-controlled access.
Exact Channel Select is activated by setting position 4 of Switches A and B, located under the
controller cover. Refer to
. Any mismatch between the settings of the switches will result in
a alarm condition.
To program an ECS pattern, the 4700 system must be in the machine stop state. An ECS pattern is
stored by blocking the appropriate area of the detection zone and pressing, then releasing the program
button (See
and
for locations). The MCS works the same as the ECS except in
addition to blocking the appropriate area of the detection zone, an four position binary switch or PLC
or two SPST switches are needed to differentiate the four possible pattern.

ROGRAMING
1. Ensure that power is supplied to the controller, and that the light curtain is green and showing all
beams are clear. The display should read “00”.
2. Set position 4 of switches A and B to the closed position and press “Start”, the display should red
“03”.
