Green Stability Display
The green stability display
illuminates in the “safe“ range,
where the input energy is at
least 30 % over or under the
“threshold energy“.
The “threshold energy“ at
which a signal change is
effected, is defined as
100 %. The “safe“ range is
therefore reached when:
– the input signal is at
130 % or more of the
threshold energy.
– the input signal is at
70 % or less than the
threshold energy.
The receiver is equipped
with an alarm output. It acts
as a warning signal when the
function is affected by
contamination or mechanical
alignment. The alarm output
is activated when the
receiver signal is in the alarm
range for at least 3 seconds.
Test Input on Emitter
The test input interrupts the
light pulses from the emitter
and allows the function of the
emitter and receiver to be
checked (when using Test+,
Test– must be at 0 V, when
using Test–, Test+ must be at
10...30 V). The receiver output
must switch each time when a
voltage of 10...30 V DC (Test+)
or 0 V (Test–) is present on the
test input. Contamination or
alignment on the optical axis
can cause the emitter signal
to reach the receiver only
weakly, if at all. Therefore the
output will not switch even
though the test input is
activated. The test function
provides a remote check of
the thru beam type and serves
as a preventative measure.
