SECTION 4 System Operation The MS2800 system is a microprocessor-controlled, infrared, transmitted- beam safety light curtain. The system consists of a receiver assembly and a transmitter assembly. The receiver and transmitter assemblies are not physi- cally interconnected. It complies with a Type 2 according to EN/IEC 61496 and category 2 accord- ing to EN954-1.
Operating Modes Section 4-2 Operating Modes System operating modes determine the start-up and operating behavior of an MS2800 system. Operating modes definitions rely on the operating states presented above. Operating mode selection may be performed via the config- uration switches on the MS2800 transmitter and receiver. Note If internal alarms are detected by the system during power-up or operation, it will enter the Alarm state with its safety outputs in the OFF state.

Floating Blanking Section 5-2 Floating Blanking !WARNING Use of Fixed Blanking and Floating Blanking will make the MS2800 system less sensitive to objects in the detection zone. Improper use of these features can result in severe injury to personnel. Fixed Blanking may require a hard barrier.
Fixed Blanking with Floating Blanking Section 5-3 Fixed Blanking with Floating Blanking !WARNING Use of Fixed Blanking and Floating Blanking will make MS2800 system less sensitive to objects in the detection zone. Improper use of these features can result in severe injury to personnel. Fixed Blanking may require a hard barrier guard.
Optical Synchronization Section 5-4 Optical Synchronization The synchronization between the MS2800 system transmitter and receiver is optical, so the system does not use one specific beam. To establish synchro- nization the system needs to have a certain number of consecutive clear beams (see following table) within the first master segment.
SECTION 6 Diagnostic and Test Features Individual Sector Indicators (ISI) All MS2800 systems have two visible, red LEDs on the receiver close to the lowest and the uppermost beam for easy alignment of the devices. Every LED represents one half of the protected area.
Start/Restart Input Section 6-5 curtains operating within a small space and the possibility of cross-talk is likely. Start/Restart Input The characteristic of the Start/Restart Input is shown in the following sche- matic: +24 VDC Start +24 VDC MS2800 N.O. 0 VDC Reset...
