General

Muting means a temporary suspension of the safety function. For this reason, the muting
function must have a time restriction. When the muting sensors are activated and the mut-
ing status begins, an internal clock is started. If the muting sensors are still active after 10
minutes (status when delivered), the muting status is cancelled and the safety laser scan-
ner grid switches to a safe condition.
The time monitoring of the muting function can be set in PSENscan Configurator.
