Figure 73: Blanking window

The first step is to define the resolution (1

Figure 73) and the number of beams or the protective field length of the Micro 400 light curtain (2). The

length of the protective field as well as the physical resolution can be found on the specification label of the light curtain being configured.

Up to three regions may be configured with a different blanking mode for each region using the tabs Region 1, Region 2 and Region 3. Once the
Blanking mode for a Region has been fully defined, the "Quick Check" box must always be clicked on, before moving on to the next region. With this
step the user will receive confirmation that the entered data is correct.

Important safety notice:

With the "Quick check", the new response time as well as the new resolution of the safety light curtain will be displayed. These new values must be taken
into consideration when calculating the safety distance as well as the mounting position of the safety light curtain. After a new configuration, the person
responsible for the machine must test the resolution in order to eliminate dangers attributed to possible inactive zones or insufficient resolution.

Independent of which blanking mode has been chosen; the configuration must be finally confirmed by setting the “Blanking active” box in the
additional features area of the Micro 400 window (

Figure 33). Only then will the configured Blanking function be acknowledged.
