F3SP-U1P-TGR User's manual The DIN/OMEGA mounted control unit is protected to IP20 by a plastic housing. It has 32 screw terminals to which it is possible to connect from 1 to 4 pairs of safety PESs. This control unit has the double ‘muting’ function. This function makes it possible to inactivate one or more safety PESs in order to allow, for instance, the objects passage without stopping the machine.
F3SP-U1P-TGR User's manual OPERATION. The control unit has two independent microprocessors forming a system with “two independent channels” as required in the standards. When one or more safety PESs are interrupted, the control unit opens both safety output contacts and indicates which safety PES has been interrupted by four green LEDs locating on the front panel.
F3SP-U1P-TGR User's manual PRECAUTIONS AND INSTALLATION CRITERIA. The safety products used must be suitable for the required application, and other influences must be also taken into account such as room temperature, electromagnetic interference, intense light sources etc. CALCULATION OF THE MINIMUM SAFETY DISTANCE.

F3SP-U1P-TGR User's manual ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE. After having carried out the correct mechanical assembly and the correct connections as described in the previous paragraphs, it is necessary to align the safety PESs. Follow the operating guide as follows: • Turn off the power supplying the control unit.
F3SP-U1P-TGR User's manual OPERATING PROCEDURES. DIP-SWITCHES CONFIGURATION. The configuration shown in the below table must be selected from the both dip-switches on the internal board. To configure dip-switch, remove the round plastic cover on the lateral surface of F3SP-U1P–TGR with a screwdriver.
F3SP-U1P-TGR User's manual MUTING FUNCTION. 7.3.1 DESCRIPTION. The muting function makes it possible to inactivate one or more safety PESs in order to allow, for instance, the objects passage without stopping the machine. As required by the standard, the control unit has two inputs for the activation of this function.

F3SP-U1P-TGR User's manual WARNING • The muting lamp for indication “active muting” must be positioned in a place where it can be seen from any operative point. • If the muting sensors must be installed close to the safety PESs, it is necessary to install the muting sensor receivers near the safety PES emitter side to avoid interference.
F3SP-U1P-TGR User's manual OVERRIDE. This function makes it possible to force a muting condition, if necessary by starting the machine despite one or more safety PESs having been interrupted by the object. Thus enabling removal of the material from the protected area, when it has been stuck in the beam of the safety PESs due to a failure.
F3SP-U1P-TGR User's manual seconds. This time limitation is optional and can be inactivated by dip- switches (see sec. 7.1). c) When the muting function is automatically inactivated because of the time-out, the request must be cut out and reactivated to generate the following muting state.
• Check that there is no person in the hazardous area before operator turns ON the power. • Check that the F3SP-U1P-TGR locks by inserting a moving object through the detection zone. • Use an opaque test piece specified in the instruction manual of the safety PES to check the detection capability.
F3SP-U1P-TGR User's manual GENERAL INFORMATION AND USEFUL DATA. Safety MUST be part of our consciousness. The safety devices are only effective if installed correctly by respecting the guidelines laid down in the relevant standards. These devices should be installed by a competent and skilled person.
