in the user manual for the CDS.
M4000 systems with firmware V1.50 support the following diagnostics features:
You can read the event history for the last four muting signal events from the system
using the CDS. The event history depicts the signal trace prior to the triggering of the
protective device. In this way you can trace errors in the muting process if the system
was no longer connected to the PC when the errors occurred. The event history for the
M4000 can be retrieved until it is switched off.
With the aid of the CDS data recorder you can record, display and save the signal traces
if there is a connection between the PC and M4000.
How to conduct an extended diagnostics of the M4000:
Connect the PC/Notebook on which the CDS has been installed to the M4000
Advanced multiple light beam safety device.
