5.4.1 Mounting direction of the twin stick
Overview
T
he safety light curtain consists of 2 identical twin sticks. Each twin stick contains both
the sender as well as the receiver unit, (figure X). Install the twin sticks so that the opti‐
cal elements are located opposite one another. To do so, rotate one twin stick by 180°
so that the sender unit of twin stick 1 points towards the receiver unit of twin stick 2. If
the EDM LED of twin stick 1 points towards LED 5 of twin stick 2, they have been
installed correctly.

NOTE
After electrical installation, the quality of the alignment of the safety light curtain can
be checked. During mounting, make sure the twin sticks are aligned to one another.
