Purpose

This document will show how to properly set the light curtain with the floating blanking feature using the dip switches when a client does not have an intelligent tap.

Problem Explanation/Objective

1. Identify the DIP switches on the light curtains and make sure that all of them are off and switch 6 should be the only one in the ON position.

2. Turn the light curtain ON.

3. Place the object in the view of the light curtain

4. Between SW1 and SW1 DIP switches there is a pushbutton that needs to be held for 3 seconds
