5.2 Test Mode (5-Pin Emitters only)

If System can not be aligned or it will not go to a Green/

Clear condition, the emitter’s TEST input may be open.

When this occurs, the receiver Reset indicator is Yellow, all

Zone indicators will be Red or Green, and the system Status

LED will be Red; the 3-digit display will show a numerical value

equal to one less than the total number of beams. For example,

if an array has 50 beams total, the display would show 49. The

emitter’s Status indicator will flash Green. See Section 4.4 and

Figure 5-1. (However, on a 10-beam system only, the Zone 1

indicator will be Green, and all others Red.)
Opening a switch or relay contacts connected to the TEST1 and

TEST2 connections of the emitter, or supplying a voltage of less

than 3V dc to TEST1 only, simulates a Blocked condition, for

testing purposes.
To verify proper operation, measure the voltage between TEST1

(pin 4, black) and dc COM (pin 3, blue) of the emitter:

If the voltage is 10 to 30V dc, the emitter should be in Run

mode and beam scanning should be occurring. If not, check

the +24V dc (pin 1, brown) to verify proper supply voltage.

If the supply voltage is not within the rated supply voltage

specifications, correct the supply voltage and recheck emitter

operation. If the supply voltage is correct, Test1 is 10 to 30V

dc and the emitter does not operate properly (RUN mode with

beam scanning). Replace emitter.

If the voltage is less than 3V dc, the emitter should be in Test

mode and no scanning should be occurring. If not in Test

mode, replace emitter.

Error Description

Cause of Error and Appropriate Action

Emitter Error

This error can occur either due to

excessive electrical noise or due to an

internal failure.

Reset the emitter by cycling power to the emitter (see Section 4.3.2).

If the error clears, perform a Daily Checkout procedure (Section 6.3) and if OK,

resume operation. If the System fails the Daily Checkout procedure, replace the

emitter.

If the error continues, check the ground connection (see Section 2.3).

If the sensor has a good earth ground connection, check for electrical noise (see

Section 5.3).

If the error continues, replace the emitter.

Excessive Noise Error

This error can occur due to excessive

electrical noise.

Reset the emitter by cycling power to the emitter (see Section 4.3.2).

If the error clears, perform a Daily Checkout procedure (Section 6.3) and if OK,

resume operation. If the System fails the Daily Checkout procedure, replace the

emitter.

If the error continues, check the ground connection (see Section 2.3).

If the sensor has a good earth ground connection, check for electrical noise (see

Section 5.3).

If the error continues, replace the emitter.

*Emitter has only 1-digit display. Two-digit codes are displayed sequentially.

* The 3-digit display will show a numerical value equal to one less than

the total number of beams. For example, if an array has 50 beams total,

the display would show 49.
