Unscrew and take off the end cap with the cable gland mounted. Unplug the plugged in terminal strip carefully. Set the jumpers using a pliers to the needed scanning range as shown in Figure 2-8. Plug-In the terminal strip carefully. Re-install the end-cap and screw tight.
IMPROPER SCANNING RANGE INDICATION If no jumper for the scanning range (jumper 2) is set or if the jumper is set in a not indicated position, the emitter does not work. However, the scanning range indicator R3 remains lit on, indicating that the power is applied to the emitter. 2.5 Indicators The FF-SYA Series emitters have five LED indicators.

5. Maintenance and Trouble-shooting 5.1 Overview This chapter contains operational test procedures, trouble-shooting, cleaning, and maintenance, instructions. IMPROPER MAINTENANCE Strictly adhere to all maintenance and trouble-shooting instructions. Failure to comply with these instructions could result in death or serious injury. 5.2 Operational Test To ensure operational readiness, perform the operational test at least once a day and every time the light curtain is repaired or the installation is changed.
5.3 Trouble-shooting Procedures When the FF-SYA Series safety light curtains are working properly and the sensing field is not interrupted, at least one of the emitter yellow LEDs R1, R2 and R3 is illuminated, the receiver green LED «ON» is illuminated, and all other LEDs are NOT illuminated.
