b) Test mode

The operation mode display H18 lights yellow.

This operation mode is used for the physical alignment of the sensor heads and to test the installation (wiring

a

nd setting). The sensor heads will be activated cycling one after the other. The state of the beam is not

displayed. The transistor outputs maintain the state they are in. After

entering the test mode only one LED from the display H1 to H8

lights and indicates the channel, which refers to the LED’s from the

multi function display H10 to H17 (H1 lights yellow = Infromation for

c

hannel 1). The multi function display shows the beam status (see

below). After pressing S1 (TEST)

Beam status

T

he display H10 to H17 indicates information about the beam quality, resp. errors at the sensor heads. If

nothing is defective, H10 to H17 indicates the signal strength of the selected channel. The more green LED’s

are visible, the better the received signal is. Use this option for the mechanical alignment of your photo-eyes.

One or two red LED’s indicate errors in the sensor wiring:

- H10 lights red - Error at the transmitter terminal

The transmitter has a short circuit, the cable is broken or no transmitter is connected.

- H11 lights red - Error at the receiver terminal

The receiver has a short circuit, the cable is broken or no receiver is connected.
