Individual fields (.sf files) that have been saved can be accessed and downloaded to the Scanner by the following
methods:
Click on (highlight) the Protective/Warning Fields definition Operating Mode tab,
Click on Load Protective/Warning Field from file icon (16); review or manipulate the field as necessary,
Click on Transfer changed Protective/Warning Fields from PC to Scanner icon (31).

Follow the prompts, review and accept the configuration, and then perform the appropriate checkout
procedure as described in Section 6 or return to Section 3.6.2 Initial Optical Field Verification.
4.5 Downloading a Configuration to the Scanner
Note: Communications must be established with the AG4 at this time (see 4.3) and the Authorization Level selected
must be ―Authorized Customer‖.
With a configuration open (and following the walk-through), click on (highlight) the ―Configuration‖ Operating Mode tab,
and then click on ―Transfer configuration data from PC to Scanner‖ (11) Operating Mode Icon. Review the
configuration and the fields as they are displayed, and if correct, click on ―Accept‖. After the transfer of the configuration
data has been confirmed, click OK.
If the fields are clear, the Scanner either should be awaiting a reset or should have automatically reset with the OSSD
output ON. (Note: This finishes the wizard walk-through demonstration.)
Perform the appropriate checkout procedure as described in Section 6 or return to Section 3.6.2 Initial Optical
Field Verification.
4.6 Start/Restart Interlock (Reset) Procedures
4.6.1 Resetting the System
System resets are typically performed using an external reset switch. This switch must be located as discussed in
Section 3.3.7.
If supervisory control of the reset switch is required, a key switch may be used, with the key kept in the possession of a
Designated or Qualified Person. Using a key switch will also provide some level of personal control, since the key may
be removed from the switch. This will hinder a reset while the key is under the control of an individual, but must not be
relied upon solely to guard against accidental or unauthorized reset. (Spare keys in the possession of others or
additional personnel entering the safeguarded area unnoticed may create a hazardous situation.)
The Restart (Reset) input, pin 2 (Violet wire), provides for a manual reset input signal.
The Scanner requires a manual reset to clear a Start/Restart Interlock condition and resume operation following a stop
command. Internal Lockout conditions also require a manual reset to return to Run mode after the failure has been
corrected. See Section 1.12.1 for more information.
Reset Routine
To reset the Scanner, close the reset switch for ¼ to 5 seconds, and then open it. Closing the reset switch too long will
cause the sensor to ignore the reset request; the switch must be closed from ¼ second to 5 seconds, but no longer.
4.7 Status Indicators
A variety of status indicators are clearly visible on the face of the Scanner. See Section 1.1 for information on the Status
Display, Section 3.6.2 for indications during the Trip test, and Section 5 for diagnostic indications and codes.
4.8 Normal Operation
Four configurations affect the AG4 behavior at power-up and during Run mode:
