The 4700 system will then enter the interlock or machine stop condition, regardless of the operating
mode. The Start button may be pressed-and-released or power may be cycled to enter the machine run
state. Subsequent power cycles will result in operation in accordance with the configured operating
mode.
A new ECS pattern is recorded when the system is in the machine stop state with no alarms, the
configuration switches are correctly set, and the Program button is pressed and released. If the
configuration switches are subsequently set to disable ECS, the stored ECS pattern is cleared.

Exact Channel Select creates “holes” in the detection zone. These “holes” are required for certain
applications. If an obstruction does not completely fill these “holes” one of two actions will need to
happen: (Refer to Figure 5-3

1. The safe mounting distance will need to be increased to account for the larger opening in the curtain.
2. The area not filled by an obstruction must be guarded, typically by some method of hard guarding.
