Operating Manual
6.6. Override function
This function can be used to force a muting condition, should the
machine need to be restarted even though material is interrupting one
or more beams. The aim is to clear the danger zone of any material
that may have accumulated due to a fault in the operating cycle.
For example, a pallet is in the protected field and the conveyor cannot
be switched on because the ESPE (one or more of the beams are
interrupted) will not enable its outputs, so the accumulated material
cannot be transported away.
Activating the override function enables this type of intervention.
- Activating the override function
• Switch the device off.
• Switch the device on.
• Activate the override function: Press the TEST/START button within
10 seconds of switching on the device and keep it held down for
about 5 seconds.
• Maximum duration of the override function is 120 seconds. After
this time the ESPE will return to its normal operating status, even if
the TEST/START button is still pressed. If the button is released
before this time has elapsed, the override function will of course
switch off immediately.
NOTE:
The external control lamp for the active muting or
override function should be positioned at a point where
it is clearly visible from all sides of the work area.
