After mounting, electrically connecting and aligning the GuardShield
safety light curtain, it is now possible to configure your system.
To begin system configuration, use the security tool provided to
loosen the screw in the configuration door.
Note: The configuration door screw is a captive screw.
Note: The transmitter can only be configured for beam coding
and Machine Test Signal. If neither of these
configurations are required, then it is only necessary to
configure the GuardShield receiver.
Identify and set the appropriate DIP-switches for the configuration
desired.
DIP-switch identification and function is explained in the tables below.
Follow the Teach Function Procedure to reconfigure the GuardShield.
