After you have blocked beam axes, you can confirm
that the floating blanking function has only been set
for the intended beam axes through the status moni-
tor function. See “4-7 Status monitor” (

more information about the status monitor function. If
the floating blanking function has been set to the
other beam axes than those intended, repeat this

and the “FLOATING” LED lights.
7. Press the “SET/TEACH” button once more and release it. Confirm that the “TEACHING” LED
turns OFF.

power to the SL-R12EX and then back ON, or when you activate the restart input on the SL-R11
(see the SL-R11 Instruction Manual for more information about restart input).
