Visual Status Indication via Sensor Light
The LVMC light curtain can use the visible red light of the sensor to inform the user about the current operat-
ing mode. In "running" mode, the sender appears continuously illuminated along its entire length for a human
eye. It is possible to configure how the device behaves in "stopped" mode. This feature can be used to distin-
guish several LVMCs. Five procedures are implemented:
“Light Turned Off”:
The red light of the sensor statically stays off.
“Flashing Light”:
The red light of the sensor is turned on and off. The time it is on and the time it is
off is equal, the duration can be defined in the CMT.
“Running Light Type A”:
The sensor shows a running light, starting at the side where the electronics is
located. The duration of a pass can be defined in the CMT.
“Running Light Type B”:
The sensor shows a running light, ending at the side where the electronics is
located. The duration of a pass can be defined in the CMT.
“Bouncing Light”:
The sensor shows a running light that bounces from one end to the other. The
duration of a pass can be defined in the CMT.

Visual Status Indication via Status LED
The three-color status LED on the front panel provides information about the current device status:
Off:
Device switched off or defective, no objects are detected.
Statically red:
Device stopped due to an error. Depending on the error, the device tries to restart
automatically. No objects are detected.
Blinking red:
Device stopped by the user, no objects are detected.
Green:
Device started error-free and ready to detect objects. There is no object in the sens-
ing area.
Blinking green:
The light intensity of the sensor has fallen below the internally predefined warning
limit. The device is ready for object detection. There is no object in the sensing area.
Blue:
Object has been detected or is in the sensing area. The status LED remains blue as
long as the object is in the sensing area.
Blinking red/blue:
An object is in the sensing area and the maximum passing time of an object in the
sensing area has been exceeded. The LVMC waits for the object to be removed and
then restarts.
