Safe Common Used for switching the power supply to the safety beams. If automatic beam testing is required, the negative power supply connection of the beam transmitter only must be wired to this point. In addition, the beam test circuit must be switched on via Menu 6. See Section 21.
24. Diagnostics Diagnostic LEDs The D5-Evo controller has a series of diagnostic LEDs which indicate the state of the inputs. Normally-open inputs are indicated by a red LED, and normally-closed inputs by a green LED. An illuminated red LED indicates that the signal is present (e.g. intercom button pressed), while a non-illuminated green LED indicates that the signal is absent (e.g.
