Two to four single beams are required for the access security of danger zones depending on the risk evaluation. The beams are only considered to this extent that they are arranged parallel to the floor, and that the beam is interrupted by the body of a person standing upright. WERAC Elektronik GmbH page 8...

Switch off the power supply to exit the alignment mode. After reconnection, the light grid enters the stand-by mode (red and yellow LEDs are lit). It switches to green (OSSD = ON) as soon as the start button is pressed and the light grid is not interrupted. WERAC Elektronik GmbH page 12...

The second contact pair is constantly checked if the contacts also close within one second. If so the system switches to the bypassing mode. This takes place because the overriding has a higher priority than the reduced resolution mode. I.e. if both contact pairs close correctly WERAC Elektronik GmbH page 16...

The commissioning engineer must have all the requisite information on the machine and the mounted ESPE (ESPE = electro-sensitive protective device, in this case SAFETY 40 safety light curtain with WGN 100 or WGN 110 control unit) available. The inspection must extend to the perfect interaction of the ESPE with the controller of the power-driven machinery and the setup in compliance with these safety regulations.
