Muting
4.1.3 Muting lamp
To signal muting, the use of a muting lamp or a muting status signal is stipulated. The
muting lamp signals the temporary muting. You can use an external lamp (monitored/not
m
onitored) or the integrated LED on the M4000 Advanced multiple light beam safety
device (not monitored).
Depending on the national legal situation, the monitoring of the external muting lamp may
be deactivated with the aid of the CDS.
WARNING
Always mount the muting lamp where it can be clearly seen!
The muting lamp must be clearly visible from all sides of the hazardous area and for the
system operator.
4.2 Placement of muting sensors
WARNING
Pay attention to the following notes on the placement of the muting sensors!
Always position the muting sensors such that only the material is detected and not the
means of transport (pallet or vehicle).
Always position the muting sensors such that material can pass unhindered, but people
are reliably detected.
Always position the muting sensors such that, on the detection of the material , a
minimum distance to the light beams on the ESPE is maintained.
The minimum distance provides the processing time necessary until muting is activated.
