How to check the effectiveness and correct function of the safety light curtain in
vertical applications:
Select the correct test rod depending on device resolution. By means of the configura-
tion, the entire system or individual areas can have an effective resolution that is diffe-
rent to the physical resolution, e.g. in case of blanking or reduced resolution. In this
case you must select the test rod to suit the effective resolution. The effective resolution
is described with the related function in chapter 4.
Example: – physical resolution 20 mm
– operation with resolution reduced by 1 beam
– effective resolution 30 mm
Use the test rod for a resolution of 30 mm.
Move the test rod slowly through the area to be protected, as shown under in Fig. 58.
Then, guide the test rod along the edges of the area to be protected as shown under
in Fig. 58. This procedure allows you to test if the reaching behind protection/presence
detection is functioning correctly (see 6.4 “Steps for mounting the device” on page 67).
If you use one or more deflector mirrors (e.g. PNS), then also guide the test rod slowly
through the area to be protected directly in front of the mirrors.
If you are using the blanking function, then this will divide the protective field into multi-
ple sub-areas (see section 5.6 “Fixed blanking” on page 52). In such cases, check all
sub-areas to be protected.
During all tests, only the red LED is allowed to illuminate on the C4000 receiver.
