6.5 Electromagnetic Robustness
6.1 Muting
6.1.1 Description
The muting function is an additional function that inhibits the sensing capability of the sensor on which it is
activated. It can be activated for a specific sensor or for a group of sensors. This results in keeping the ON-state
of the OSSD even when the muted sensors detect motion.
When the muting function is enabled, its effective activation on one or more sensors occurs only as soon as the
conditions permit (see "Muting activation conditions" below).
6.1.2 Muting enabling
The muting function can be enabled through digital input (see "Enable muting signal characteristics" below).
WARNING! When the sensor is in muting, no sensor error is available (see"ERROR events (sensor)"
on page 74).
The muting function can be enabled for all the sensors simultaneously or only for a group of sensors. Up to two
groups can be configured, each associated with a digital input.
Through the Inxpect Safety application, the following must be defined:
for each input, the group of managed sensors
l
for each group, the sensors that belong to it
l
for each sensor, whether it belongs to a group or not
l
Note: if the muting function is enabled for one sensor, it is enabled for all the detection fields of the sensor,
regardless if the detection fields are dependent or independent and the anti-tampering functions are disabled for
that sensor.
See "Configure the inputs and outputs" on page 58.
6.1.3 Muting activation conditions
The muting function is activated on a specific sensor only in the following conditions:
All the detection fields involved are motion-free, and the restart timeout has expired for all of them.
l
There is no tampering signal or fault signal for that sensor.
l
When the muting is enabled for a group of sensors, the function is activated as soon as there is no detection in
the monitored area of all sensors.
6.1.4 Enable muting signal characteristics
The muting function is enabled only if both logic signals of the dedicated input (or the single logic signal, if it is
used as single channel) are at a high logic level (1).
6.1.5 Muting status
Any output dedicated to the muting status (Muting enable feedback signal) is activated if at least one of the
groups of sensors is in muting.
