    What to do if Leuze MLD 500 Security Sensors display error U51?
    • C
      coxjorgeSep 12, 2025
      If the Leuze Security Sensors display error U51, only one muting signal is active during a protective field violation, and the second muting signal is missing. Check the mounting of the muting sensors and the triggering of the muting signals.

    What to do if Leuze Security Sensors display error E02?
    • B
      Brenda TurnerAug 25, 2025
      If the Leuze Security Sensors display error E02, it means there is an overload on OSSD1. To resolve this, check the wiring or replace the connected component, thus reducing the load.

    What to do if Leuze Security Sensors display error U54?
    • C
      Cheyenne RowlandSep 12, 2025
      If the Leuze Security Sensors display error U54, it indicates a missing additional muting control signal (muting-enable). Check the connection of the muting sensor and the triggering of the muting-enable signal. Reconnect the muting sensor, if applicable, and activate it with a restart.

    What does it mean if LED2 on the receiver (with MLD 500/AS-i) is red on Leuze Security Sensors?
    • R
      Robert WalkerSep 18, 2025
      If LED2 on the receiver (with MLD 500/AS-i) on Leuze Security Sensors is red, it indicates that the AS-i slave is not communicating with the AS-i master. Check the connection of the AS-i master with the AS-i slave, correct the AS-i address of the AS-i slave, or correctly set the AS-i profile in the AS-i master.

    What to do if LED1 on the receiver is green and slowly flashing (approx. 1 Hz) on Leuze Security Sensors?
    • M
      mejiabriannaSep 5, 2025
      If LED1 on the receiver of Leuze Security Sensors is green and slowly flashing (approx. 1 Hz), it indicates a weak signal due to soiling or misalignment. Clean the front screen and check the alignment of the transmitter and receiver.

    What to do if LED2 on the receiver (with MLD 500/AS-i) is yellow and flashing on Leuze Security Sensors?
    • C
      cunninghamnathanielSep 18, 2025
      If LED2 on the receiver (with MLD 500/AS-i) on Leuze Security Sensors is yellow and flashing, it indicates that the AS-i slave has an invalid address 0. Assign the AS-i slave a valid address.

    What to do if Leuze Security Sensors display error E01?
    • N
      Nathan BallardAug 30, 2025
      If Leuze Security Sensors show error E01, it means there's a cross connection between OSSD1 and OSSD2. You should check the wiring between OSSD1 and OSSD2.
