20. Test object to see and prove to the customer that under normal condition (Anti-Chatter function off) that normal sensors will trip the light curtain.
21. Turn OFF power to the light curtain. Turn ON dip switch # 2 to set the light curtain “Chattering/void space prevention mode 1” option ON. Turn ON power to the light curtain.
22. Using the same object in step number 14 test and prove to the customer that the “Chattering/void space prevention mode 1” option does in fact work to prevent the light curtain from tripping.
If the voids in the object are large, you may want to use the OFF delay function in combination with the Chattering/void space prevention to prevent the light curtain from tripping. The higher the OFF delay the larger the voids can be.
Software is only needed to set the light curtain in “Exit only muting” mode. You can use Chattering/void space prevention in conjunction with Dynamic Muting or regular muting, which ever one you prefer.
