UNEXPECTED FF-SE STOPPAGE
If the FF-SE is operating when you connect your PC, through the RS232 cable it may stop when connected. A residual
signal in the serial port buffer of the PC may cause this condition. Start the FFSE.EXE program, to reset the FF-SE to
normal operation.
Once the sensor has been programmed, disconnect the interface cable from the sensor, in order to ensure optimum EMC
immunity.

5.5 Defining the protection zones

IMPROPER PROTECTION ZONE DEFINITION
Ensure the definition of the protection zones is performed by a qualified person, who understands the safety regulations.
Failure to comply with these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
Use Honeywell installation program FFSE.EXE to define the protection areas and the other control parameters of the FF-
SE. This software runs on a standard personal computer.
Use the software reference manual (PK107029-EN) to program the sensor. The software and the software reference
manual (PK107029-EN) are included in a separate kit (FF-SEZ6SOFT2) that may be ordered from Honeywell (see Order
guide p.48).

5.6 checking the monitoring functions

IMPROPER INSTALLATION CHECK
After the protection zones are defined, you must check the installation. In two steps:
1)
check the definition of the protection zones only with the computer connected, and document this test.
2)
connect the machine outputs and repeat the procedure.
Failure to comply with these instructions could result in death or serious injury.
Œ
Check and document the protection zones with the computer connected as follows : (see software reference
installation manual (PK107029-EN) for additional information)
1.
Start the program FFSE.EXE . Enter the main menu.
2.
Select Monitor from the main menu.
3.
Check the limits of the safety zone with a dark test object of approx. 70 mm (2.76 in) in diameter.
Observe red LED illuminates, the green LED turns off, indicating that the safety zone is occupied.
Observe the field «Safety» on the computer screen illuminates red and an acoustic signal may be heard (depends on
sound mode selection).
4.
Check the limit of the Alarm Zone in the same manner.
5.
Observe the yellow alarm LED illuminates, indicating that the alarm zone is occupied.
6.
Observe the field "ALARM" illuminates yellow and an accoustic signal be heard (depends on sound mode selection.
7.
Check the external test target for correct positioning (if used).
Obstruct the light beam between the head and the external test target for few seconds.
Observe the alarm and safety outputs open.
Reset the sensor by turning power off and restoring it after few seconds.
Œ
Check the installation of the safety function as follows :
1.
After checking the protection zones, connect the signal outputs of the FF-SE to the machine control circuit. Check the
zones with the machine switched on but not running. Check the functionality of the safety system.
2.
Check the reactions of the machine with the FF-SE switched off.
