The first beam line, which realises the optical synchronisation and is
located immediately behind the diagnostic window, cannot be blanked.

The area of the fixed blanking must not be modified after the teach-in
process. Any change of the area or removal of the part from the protec-
tion field will be detected by the system. As a result, the outputs are
disabled (locked). This locking can be neutralised by executing a new
teach-in process in accordance with the actual beam interruptions.

The minimum signal length between the sensors, which are fitted

and at the same height.
2. Turn the transmitter and monitor the diagnostic window of the re-

the LED signal reception (orange) is off.
3. Determine the max. rotating angle to the left and to the right, at which

For safety reasons, all inspection results must be archived. The operat-
ing principle of the SLG and the machine must be known in order to

and the operator are different persons, please make sure that the user
has the necessary information at his disposal to be able conducting the
maintenance.

5.3 Regular check

A regular visual inspection and functional test, including the following
steps, is recommended:
MS1/MC = Muting sensor 1/machine contact MC 1. The component does not have any visible damages.
MS 2 = muting sensor 2 2. The optics cover is not scratched or soiled.
ML = Muting lamp 3. H azardous machinery parts can only be accessed by passing
through the protection field of the SLG.

5.5 Cleaning
If the optics cover of the sensors is extremely soiled, the OSSD outputs
can be disabled. Clean with a soft cloth without exercising pressure.
The use of agressive, abrasive or scratching cleaning agents, which
could attack the surface, is prohibited.

6.2 Fault diagnostic
The light grid performs an internal self-test after the operating voltage is switched on and the protection field is enabled. When a fault is detected, a
corresponding flashing pattern is emitted at the receiver through the LED OSSD OFF (red). Every fault emission is followed by a one-second pause.

2 flashes Error contactor control OFF Check connections at contactor control input, refer to
Wiring, check wiring of the auxiliary contacts
3 flashes Error contactor control ON Check wiring at contactor control input, short-circuit at +UB and
mass. Power reset after fault rectification.
4 flashes Errors at the OSSD outputs Check the wiring of the outputs, OSSD for short-circuit at +UB and

converter
6 flashes Error blanking The receiver has detected blanked beams as beams without inter-
ruption, i.e. locking. Check the configuration settings by means of the
NSR-0801 BUS converter, repeat the teach process with blanking.

6.3 Extended diagnostic

By means of the optional configuration software and the NSR-0801 8. Appendix
BUS converter, an extended diagnostic can be executed. The software
provides the status information of the component and can represent the 8.1 Contact
