By means of the suitable hardware, it continuously control and check the connected photocells. No interference among the safety sensors is possible as they are controlled sequentially; it will be thus possible to install one or two adjacent safety sensors. When one or more beams are interrupted, the electronic system opens the outputs.
CALCULATION OF THE MINIMUM INSTALLATION DISTANCE. The safety distance ‘S’ must be sufficient to guarantee that the hazardous area cannot be reached by the operator up to the moment in which the hazardous movement stops. Please refer to EN999 or corresponding C- standards and the safety light curtain’s instruction manual;...
TERMINAL BLOCK ASSIGNMENT. TERMINAL OUTER CONNECTION 1 - 2 Connect to the 24 VDC power supply, note the polarity indicated on the label. RESET button; connect a normally opened contact (N.O.). 3 - 4 TEST button; connect a normally closed (N.C.).

F3SP-U4P-TGR User's manual Notice • To configure the control unit in such a way that it works with one single safety light curtain, it is necessary to connect the terminal 31 and 32 to the terminal 29. • DC power supply units must satisfy all the conditions below in order to conform to the application directives.
• Align the light curtain by observing the LEDs on the control unit: If the alignment of the light curtain 1 is correct, the LED 1 and 2 are turned on. If the alignment of the light curtain 2 is correct, the LED 3 and 4 are turned on.
The control-unit is Factory default set with the following configuration: Automatic reset, the maximum duration of the muting: sixty seconds. * Infinite muting duration: this feature must be used carefully because it’s against the norm. Using this, the user must know that it’s works under it’s sole responsibility.
Two separate muting functions are possible to use. It is necessary to position and connect the muting sensors in order to avoid void muting input condition. It is important to remember that the muting function forces the system keep working and for this reason the muting functionality must be designed and handled with care.

• The TEST and RESET buttons must be positioned in such a way, - that the operator can see the protected area when he carries out reset, test or override operations. - that it can not be activated from inside the hazardous area.
(and restart)) to generate the following correct muting state. MUTE_A 30 ms MUTE_B MUTE_STATE ∞ / 60 s It is not possible to carry out a muting request, if the light curtain is interrupted and the output contacts are in the opened state.

1) The machine connected to the control unit has an interlock function. 2) The controller uses interlock mode. 3) It is not possible for a person to stop between the safety light curtain and the hazardous parts of the machine.
Problems due to voltage interruption on the power supply may cause temporary openings of the outputs. This is not damaging to the safety PES and control unit. The guarantee is complete for a period of 12 months starting from the delivery date of the device.
F3SP-U4P-TGR User's manual TECHNICAL DATA. • The control unit can be used with all safety light curtains listed 11.1 Note that all safety light curtains to be used are certified according with the EN61496-1 Type 4/ Type 2 • Electrical input: 420 mA max. (for any model).
