PSEN op4B Series Operating Manual

Fig. 25
To comply with current regulations the safety device has two inputs
(muting 1 and muting 2) for activating the muting function.
For example, the muting function can be used when objects need to
pass through the protected field, but operating personnel still require
protection.
Muting duration:
• Muting timeout 10 min.: Set position 1 on both DIP switches to ON
• Muting timeout infinite: Set position 1 on both DIP switches to OFF
Muting configuration:
• T-shape configuration or linear configuration: Set position 2 on
both DIP switches to ON
• L-shape configuration: Set position 2 on both DIP switches to OFF
When using the muting function, please note the following:
• The muting function represents a forced situation for the whole
system and as such should be applied with due care.
• The muting sensors must be connected and positioned properly,
so that personnel are not exposed to unwanted muting activations
or hazardous situations.
• Muting cannot be activated if the protected field is interrupted
(“SAFE” LED lights up red).
• When you have different conveyor speeds in muting mode, you will
need to consider the effect this will have on the overall duration of
the muting process.
• The receiver has a muting lamp which displays the
status of the muting function (Fig. X). If the muting
lamp is defective, activating muting or override will
cause the safety contacts to open and the plant will
be disabled due to a muting lamp malfunction
(see Chapter 8.2 “Error messages and diagnostics”).
The muting lamp must be clearly visible from all
sides of the work area.
