Time chart explanation
(1) The muting function does not get active when the signals from the muting devices are all OFF. In other
words, the light curtain (SL-C Series) keeps normal operation. (The muting function is OFF)
(2) The muting function gets active once the signal from sensor B2 turns ON at first and the signal from
sensor B1 turns ON sequentially. At this time, the muting lamp turns ON. Further, the signal from sensor
A2 turns ON, and finally, the signal from sensor A1 turns ON. As long as the light curtain (SL-C Series)
receives the signals from the muting devices in this sequence, it keeps the muting function.
(3) If the signal from sensor B2 turns OFF, B1 turns OFF and then A2 also turns OFF sequentially after the
signals from all the sensors turn ON. The muting function cannot keep active. Therefore, the light curtain's
(SL-C Series) muting state is canceled. The muting lamp turns OFF, and the light curtain (SL-C Series)
returns to normal operation.
