APPLICATIONS OVERVIEW Mute Indication In some machinery applications it may be desirable to provide visual indicationto personnel that the safety light curtain is in a muted condition. To satisfy this requirement Smartscan have introduced a high reliability mute beacon, employing bright light emitting diodes as the light source.The beacon can be supplied for direct integration onto the light curtain receivercolumn, or as a separate self-contained unit for mounting remotely. In order to meet the European requirements for monitoring the mute indicator a special monitor module can be provided. The mute beacon monitor module is factory fitted inside the receiver column of an 8000 Series light curtain. The module continuously monitors the electrical current from the beaconLED’s. Should one or both groups of beacon LED’s fail to illuminate the drop in power will be detected by the monitor module, forcing the light curtain into alockout condition, thus stopping the potentially dangerous machine.
