Obstruction or Misalignment
When the curtain is obstructed or misaligned, the
display will present four numbers to indicate location of
obstruction or misalignment.
Distance
The first three numbers displayed represent (in inches)
the first obstructed or misaligned beam on the guard
starting from the cable end of the pylon. The third digit
is blank for whole inches and “5” for half inches.
Total #
The last digit indicates the total number of beams
blocked or misaligned. The digit counts in Hexadecimal
(0 to F = 0 to 15 beams). A “>” sign indicates more than
15 beams missing.
“A”=10 beams, “B”=11 beams, “C”=12 beams, “D”=13
beams, “E”=14 beams, “F”=15 beams
Computing Object Size
To compute an object’s size, use the following formula:
size(inches) = TOTAL# x 0.5”
This can be used to evaluate an object’s size up to 7.5”
in diameter.
(i.e., TOTAL# = 3 so SIZE = 1.5”)
(i.e., TOTAL# = D so SIZE = 6.5”)
Examples
1255 = First obstruction located 12.5” from
connector, size of object is 2.5”
05 A = First obstruction located 5.0” from connector,
size of object is 5.0”
Error Conditions
When an ERROR message is displayed, the end of the
message will display a set of numbers to indicate where
along the pylon the problem resides.
The first two numbers displayed represent the first
problem beam on the guard starting from the cable
end of the pylon. The third number represents the total
number of beams blocked on the guard. Boards inside
each pylon are exactly four inches long. Using this you
can determine which board in the pylon is bad.
Definitions
BOARD #: Indicates first board on which a problem
was detected (01 to 17).
(i.e., 01 = board nearest cable connection)
BEAM #: Indicates first problem beam on the board
indicated above (1 to 8).
(i.e., 1 = first beam on board, 8 = last beam
on board)
TOTAL #: Indicates total number of blocked beams
on the curtain.
(i.e., 1 to 9 beams then A to F = 10 to 15
beams)

Computing Object Size
To compute an object’s size, use the following formula:
size(inches) = TOTAL# x 0.5"
This can be used to evaluate an object’s size up to 7.5"
in diameter.
(i.e., TOTAL# = 3 so SIZE = 1.5")
(i.e., TOTAL# = D so SIZE = 6.5")
Examples
1255 = First obstruction located 12.5" from
connector, size of object is 2.5"
05 A = First obstruction located 5.0" from
connector, size of object is 5.0"
