Interface

All operational parameters of the MX4000 series of light curtains can be configured according to the specific requirements of the end users using the MX4000-PT unit. With this simple and reliable tool, the user may program parameters for blanking, muting and other functions without the use of computers or additional software.

Indicators

The MX series of light curtains are designed with multiple indicators to facilitate its use and indicate the status of the unit at any given time.

3 Bright LED indicators

  • Red/green for status
  • Blue solid indicates active blanking mode
  • Blue flashing indicates muting
  • Yellow solid indicating Lock-out condition
  • Yellow Flashing for interlock condition is engaged
  • Each beam has its own red status indicator on the detector unit
  • Red Beam status indicators also designate the blanked-out region by blinking

Model designation:  M X 4 “M” “DC” – “H”

Where:
“M” (model) is 0 (emitter), 1 (basic detector) or 2 (advanced detector, blanking and muting capabilities)
“DC” (detection capability) is 14, 22, 
30, 38 or 82 mm
“H” (protective field height) is 300, 
450, 600, 750, 900, 1200, 1500 or 1800 mm
