Optional Features
Model CA Cascading Safety Light Curtain
MULTI-PYLON (MP)
Description:
Multiple sets of light curtains operating independently
can be modifi ed to operate together to prevent infrared
interference between each other, and optionally to
provide a single Dual Safety Output.
Wiring:
The Pink wire of each Receiver pylon must be connected
together as well as the White wires connected together.
Operation:
Standard= Each curtain uses its own Safety Outputs,
but do not interfere with each other.
Single Output: Blocking 1 curtain will shut down the
Safety Outputs of all connected light curtains.
Remote Status Display (RSD) Continued
The fi rst three numbers displayed represent the fi rst
problem beam on the guard starting from the cable end
of the pylon. The fourth number represents the total
number of beams blocked on the guard. Depending
if your beam spacing is 0.5” or 1.0” you can determine
which board in the pylon is bad.
Defi nitions
BEAM #: Indicates fi rst blocked beam (from cable
end). (i.e. 64 = 64” up with 1.0” beam
spacing, or 32” up with 0.5” spacing)
TOTAL #: Indicates total number of blocked beams
on the curtain.
(i.e., 1 to 9 beams then A to F = 10 to 15
beams)
The Diagnostics Display has two modes of operation:
Status and Fault. If a fault occurs, the display will scroll
the fault message until the power is removed.
