Please observe the relevant valid regulations, in particular those pertaining to safety measures and the installation of muting sensors, the muting lamp and the Bernstein light curtain. It must be possible to view the danger area from the installation location of the start button and the key-operated switch.

Introduction The Bernstein SCR OM muting controller with relay outputs is designed to be used with the new generation of Bernstein safety light curtains, to safeguard operators from dangerous machinery up to safety category 4 as described in EN 954-1. The integrated muting function, which has been designed to EN 61496, permits goods to be transported into or out of the danger area without impairment to the safety function.
The muting lamp will turn on, and any interruption of the light curtain will not cause the outputs of the SCR OM to de-activate. Once three of the four muting sensors have been cleared, the muting cycle will terminate after a time period of 0.25 seconds, and the light curtain will no longer be bypassed.

Indicators Five indicators on the front panel of the SCR OM are used to indicate the control units status. Power ON Fault Restart inhibit on, waiting for start Operation – Channel 1 activated Operation – Channel 2 activated 4+5 flashing Error code (See Section XXX)
Connection Details The following terminals are available on the SCR OM muting control unit Terminals Description A1+ , A2- Supply Voltage EST+, EST Start/Restart button ESS+, ESS Key-operated switch (Mute Over-ride) ESS+, 53 Muting lamp Not used for muting operation...
Key-operated switch (Mute Over-ride) A key operated switch is connected to the SCR OM to allow the user to manually activate of the mute cycle, regardless of the status of the mute sensors, for example, when the material is already located in the area monitored by the muting sensors, and the control unit outputs are de-activated.
Outputs The muting controller has the following outputs: Three N/O safety relay outputs (13-14, 23-24, 33-34) One N/O auxiliary mute lamp output (73-74) Two auxiliary optocoupler outputs (OP-O1, OP-O2) 24 V DC Optocoupler output O1 switches to 24V when the safety outputs are active. Optocoupler output O2 switches to 24V when the connected light curtain is interrupted.
Connect the muting sensors in accordance with the diagrams below: MSxP and MSxN must always be connected on the SCR OM. The unused connections on the SCR OM must be connected as follows: If MSxN is not used, connect MSx- to MSxN...
Light Curtain The Bernstein Light curtain is to be connected to the SCR OM as shown below: Power supply, Mute Over-ride key switch, Muting lamp, Start button Connection of the supply voltage, mute over-ride, mute lamp and start button is as follows: Only connect the operating voltage to terminals A1+ and A2- when the remaining wiring has been completed.

Safety Outputs The terminals 13-14, 23-24 and 33-34 are safety relay outputs. If the muting controller is running and the light curtain is unobstructed, the outputs will be activated. To extend the safety outputs, relays with positive guided contacts must be used The use of external relays without spark suppressors can lead to damage to the muting controller.
Commissioning and Testing After applying the supply voltage, the SCR OM performs an internal self-test. LED’s 1,3,4 and 5 light up, and the SCR OM can then be activated by pressing the start button, and the outputs should activate. If the self-test has not been successfully executed, there could be a fault or a connection error. For details, see the following section "Troubleshooting".
