6.5. The AT5600 safety system user interface
This section describes the various operating and warning messages that may be
observed on the AT5600 when it is being used with a safety light curtain.
Please consult the documentation supplied with your safety system for its own
operating instructions.
The tester has three distinct points in its operation when it may check the
condition of the safety interlock. Checks are made both before and during:
• Running test during program execution
• Performing the fixture compensation test within a program
• During Self-test.
If the safety system indicates that the light curtain is broken before the start of the
measurement then the tester will display a Red Safety Interlock icon, otherwise
the tester will display a Green Safety Interlock icon indicating the system is safe to
use as shown below
If the light curtain is beams are broken after the measurement has started, then
the test will be stopped, and the voltage source shut down and the Safety
Interlock icon shall change from Green to Red.
