Solution
Connect the connector firmly.
Check the ambient noise conditions near the device.
The data was not saved, so read the data from the
source and write to the device again.
Make sure the data configuration matches the con-
figuration of the connected light curtain.
If the data indicator (orange) is blinking, writing is
prohibited (copy protection).
Use the Configurator Light Curtain software to can-
cel copy protection.
Check the ambient noise conditions near the device.
The saved data is corrupted, so initialize the device.
Read the data from the source and write to the de-
vice again.
If the ERROR indicator (yellow) does not turn OFF
after you initialize the device, replace the device.
Replace the device.
Turn ON the light curtain power again.
Repeat the write.
If the light curtain is configured by optical synchroni-
zation, perform read/write to both the emitter and re-
ceiver.
