– Muting Module Mechanical Connection
Fixing ‘L’ or ‘T’ cross-beam mute modules to the safety light curtain columns is
very easy. Undo the fixing bolts and remove the end-cap fixing bracket and
rubber seal from both the transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx) columns.
Fit the appropriate ‘L’ or ‘T’ module to the base of each column using the longer
bolts that are supplied with the units. Tighten the bolts enough to ensure
waterproof sealing between the aluminium housings. If an additional guard
mounting point is required the bottom end cap bracket can be re-fitted underneath
the mute module housing.
Red LED’s in the receiver Rx mute module are illuminated to show the mute
beams are active.
On the Receiver (Rx) the two mute inputs are situated below the B (User) cable
connection and the A (interconnect) cable connection. On the Transmitter (Tx)
head the mute inputs are situated below the A (interconnect) cable connection.
Plug in the two cables from the Mute modules to the light curtain column as
shown above. Note the Rx Mute module cables must be crossed when using the
inverted
‘T’ shape cross-beam muting or the ‘L’ shape cross-beam muting. The
cables are connected so they are parallel when using the parallel beam muting
(timing control).
