8 Commissioning
Commissioning requires a thorough check by qualified safety personnel!
Before you operate a system protected by the C4000 safety light curtain for the first time,
make sure that the system is first checked and released by qualified safety personnel.
Please read the notes in chapter 2 “On safety” on page 9.
8.1 Display sequence during switching on
After the system is activated, sender and receiver go through a power-up cycle. The 7Eseg-
ment display indicates the device status during the power-up cycle.
The display values have the following meaning:
Display Meaning

Testing the 7Esegment display. All segments are activated
sequentially.
Approx. 0.5 s. Is displayed only at the receiver and only in operation
with large scanning range.
, or approx. 0.5 s. Non-coded operation or operation with code 1 or 2.
or The device is operational. The indication appears if the device has
detected an object in the protective field on switch on.
, or Receiver only: Receiver-sender alignment is not optimal (see
“Aligning sender and receiver” further below).
Other display Device error. See “Fault diagnosis” on page 91.
8.2 Aligning sender and receiver
After the safety light curtain has been mounted and connected, sender and receiver must
be aligned in relation to each other. The light beams emitted by the sender must hit the
receiver accurately.
How to align sender and receiver in relation to each other:
Secure the plant/system. No dangerous movement possible!
Ensure that the dangerous state of the machine is (and remains) switched off! During the
alignment process, the outputs of the safety light curtain are not allowed to have any
effect on the machine.
Loosen the clamping bolts which hold the safety light curtain in place.
Switch on the power supply to the safety light curtain.
Important for problem-free operation is the alignment of all axes:
Place the AR60 at the start and end of the device in succession. The laser point is inci-
dent on the “Receiver/Sender” text on the opposite device or in the hole on the second
mounting bracket that is also to be fitted to the device.
Watch the alignment information on the 7E segment display of the receiver (see Tab. 22).
Correct the alignment of the sender and receiver, until the 7Esegment display goes off.
