Commissioning
Only M4000 Area 60/80:
Use a test rod that is not transparent to light and that has the following diameters:
– 60 mm for the M4000 Area 60
– 80 mm for the M4000 Area 80
Guide the test rod along the entire length of the area monitored:
– immediately in front of the sender
– in the middle between sender and receiver
– immediately in front of the receiver
This must produce the following result:
On the receiver for the related multiple light beam safety device only the red LED is
allowed to illuminate and not the green or yellow LED
and
as long as the light beam is interrupted, it must not be possible to initiate the danger-
ous state.
Further tests
Check the protective device for damage or wear, particularly the mounting, the electrical
connection and the connection cable, the housing and the front screen.
Check whether the access to the hazardous area is only possible by interrupting the
light path between sender and receiver for the M4000 system (e.g. correct mounting of
mechanical protective devices).
Check whether the protective device is effective for the set operating mode.
