The inner wiring of the sensor connection module is specially adapted to the operating modes of the
receivers. Independent of the polarity of the operating voltage of the cabinet, +24 V DC on pin 1 and 0 V
on pin 3 is always applied to the 5-pin A-coded sockets of the connection module. On each socket X2, X3
and X4, one of the possible receiver control inputs 3, 4 and 8 is applied on pin 4. A second signal is
present on pin 2 of all sockets, so that all pin combinations, 3/4, 3/8 and 4/8, are available on every socket.
The shield of the connection cable is distributed on the thread of each socket.
When connecting sensors which deliver a single-channel signal, such as Light Beam Devices as muting
sensors, a three-wire connection cable with connection to pins 1, 3 and 4 must be used. Four- or five-wire
connection cables are necessary for the connection of two-channel sensors and operational controls. Suit-
able connection cables are available as accessories (see table 15.5).
7.3 Operating mode 1
The following functions can be selected via external wiring:
• Fixed blanking can be taught without size tolerance and activated/deactivated during operation, see
chapter 4.7.1 „Fixed blanking“.
• Integration of contact-based safety circuit possible, see chapter 4.6.1 „Contact-based safety circuit“.
• The two functions named can be combined (see table 7.5).
Permanent settings which cannot be changed by control signals:
• Internal start/restart interlock deactivated
• SingleScan selected

Circuit diagram examples for the sensor connection module can be found in the following chap-
ters for the respective operating modes.
Teach blanking by opening the bridge between pin 1 and pin 8 with a teach key switch and ap-
plying a voltage of +24 V to pin 1 and a voltage of 0 V to pin 8 (see table 7.5).
