8. The Black Max transmitter and receiver
each have four mounting holes, two in each
end mounting flange. See Figure ---, page
---, for mounting hole dimensions and
patterns for various length units.
3.4.2 Black Max Remote Segment
Transmitter and Receiver Units.
Black Max remote segment transmitter and
receiver units are housed in separate
enclosures from the main Black Max
transmitter and receiver. When electrically
connected to the main transmitter and re-
ceiver units, they provide additional
channels of emitters and receptors which are
sequenced by the logic electronics in the
main transmitter and receiver, respec-
tively. Remote segment units will be part
of the installation only when the
user/employer has purchased them as
components of the safety system to supple-
ment the protection provided by the main
transmitter and receiver units.
Since the remote segments are in separate
enclosures from the main Black Max units,
they can be used to create "L" shaped or
other sensing field shapes when combined
with the main transmitter and receiver
units. When safety distance requirements,
machine configuration, or operational
requirements place the primary sensing
field between the main transmitter and
receiver at a location that allows a person
to pass completely through the primary
sensing field toward the hazard, horizon-
tally oriented remote segment Black Max
units can be used to detect a person stand-
ing inside the sensing field as shown in
Figure 3.6.
