This function is only available on the F3S-TGR-CL_A - models.
The muting and override functions disable the safety functions of the device.
You must ensure safety using other method when these functions are operat-
ing.
Install muting sensors so that they can distinguish between the object that is
being allowed to pass through the detection zone and a person. If the muting
function is activated by the detection of a person, it may result in serious
injury.
Muting lamps (external indicators) that indicate the state of the muting and
override functions must be installed where they are clearly visible to workers
from all the operating positions.
Muting related time must be properly configured for its application by a suffi-
ciently trained and qualified person, and the person must have responsibility
for settings, especially when setting the muting time limit to infinite.
Use independent 2 input devices for muting inputs.
You must install F3S-TGR-CL system muting sensor, and physical barrier, and
configure time settings for muting so that an operator should not enter hazard-
ous zone.
Install the switch that activates the override in a location that provides a clear
view of the entire hazardous area and where it cannot be activated from within
the hazardous area. Make sure that nobody is in the hazardous area before
activating the override function.
During muting condition, the monitoring of the protective field is suppressed
intentionally for a preset time. It is used in applications, where material goes
into or out of a dangerous zone without stopping the machine, so the Safety
Outputs (OSSDs) of the Safety Sensor System remain in the ON-State during
the muting procedure.
The Muting function can be activated only if the F3S-TGR-CL system is in the
MACHINE RUN state while the muting activation sequence is provided.
