CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION Attention Marks This instruction manual employs the following attention marks depending on the degree of the danger to call operator’s attention to each particular action. Read the following explanation of these marks thoroughly and observe these notices without fail. Besides, the attention mark is prepared for the helpful information, detail instruction related to each part, and reference item or page.

INTRODUCTION ♦ Fixed blanking function, floating blanking function ● With the fixed blanking function, this device prevents the person or object from entering into the dangerous parts of the machine through the invalid sensing area. However, even though this device can prevent the interference of the person or object into the invalid sensing area with the fixed blanking function, there might exist the more space between the SE4D series and already-existence object.
CHAPTER 2 GENERAL OUTLINE This chapter gives the system construction, part description, etc. of this device. Features This device is the handy controller for setting each function of the light curtain SE4D series. Besides, this device performs the checking and copying the setting contents of the function, and protection of writing.
Connecting / Setting Procedures Connecting / Setting Procedures This section describes the connecting / setting procedures for both this device and SE4D series. 1. Set the SE4D series, and check that the 2. Turn OFF the power and connect this SE4D series works properly.
CHAPTER 3 FUNCTIONS Functional Descriptions If configuration of the system is changed (replace the SE4D series etc.), set the function again. 3-1-1 Fixed Blanking Function This is a function that the control output (OSSD 1 / 2) of SE4D series is not turned OFF, even if the specified beam channel(s) is blocked OFF.
Functional Descriptions 3-1-2 Floating Blanking Function This function is set in each SE4D series. If the number of the blocked beam channels is less than the set number of the beam channels, the control output (OSSD 1 / 2) of SE4D series is not turned “OFF.” This function is useful when an obstacle moves within the sensing area.
Functional Descriptions <Minimum sensing object> Floating blanking function Effective Ineffective 1 beam channel 2 beam channels 3 beam channels SE4D-H□ ø25mm ø45mm ø65mm ø85mm If the floating blanking function is used, the incident light intensity indicator is turned OFF when an obstacle exists in the sensing range regardless of the incident light intensity. 3-1-3 Auxiliary Output Switching Function This function changes the operation state of the auxiliary output.
Functional Descriptions 3-1-4 Emission Intensity Control Function This function reduces the emitting intensity. It is useful for preventing interference from the emitter to the other devices. Emission intensity control • CLR (Ineffective) : Operating range is 0.3 to 9m for SE4D-H□ (12 to 64 beam channels), 0.3 to 7m for SE4D-H□...
Functional Descriptions Muting input conditions ● The order for inputting the muting input A and B, which the muting function activates, can be set. A = b: Effective even either comes first b: Effective only when the input A comes first A: Effective only when the input B comes first Note: The setting is possible for each channel.
Functional Descriptions 3-1-9 Protective Function The functional settings are not allowed to change without the input of a password. When the protective function is set to “effective,” the setting can be changed by inputting the password. The setting contents monitor function can be used regardless of the protective function “effective / ineffective.” The password should be a 4-digit number from 0 to 9.

Function Setting <Selecting sensor> Each function can be set on each SE4D series connected in series as well. Select a SE4D series to set each function. Since “3-2-5 Copy Function” and “3-2-9 Protective Function” are set collectively, it is not necessary to select a sensor.
