4-7-2 The BEAM indicator
The BEAM indicator is for indicating the beam axes identification of SL-C Series units. When you select the
“BEAM” indicator through the beam switching button, you can monitor the information for the selected beam
axes based on the lighting status of “CLEAR/BLOCKED” indicators. The following table shows the relation-
ship between the BEAM indicator and the beam axes being monitored.

Method for switching the BEAM indicator
The 8 “BEAM” indicators can light in the order from “Beam 1-16” to “Beam 113-128” by pressing the beam
switching button. Therefore, you can monitor the information through the “CLEAR/BLOCKED” indicators,
which is related to the beam axes range corresponding to the lighting indicator.
With small numbers of beam axes, only indicators up to that number will light.
Example
With 40 beam axes, pressing the beam switching button will cause the indicators to cycle in the following
order: 1 to 16 → 17 to 32 → 33 to 48 → 1 to 16.
