TEST FUNCTION
The Admiral light curtain does not dispose of a start/restart interlock circuit. In most
applications this safety function is necessary. The safety relay Admiral ADSR1
permits to implement this function in a safe way according to IEC 61496-1.
Please consider the risk-analysis of your application about this matter.
By means of the test function, which simulates occupation of the protected area, it possible
to verify the operation of the entire system by means of an external supervisor (e.g. PLC,
control module, etc.).
The ADMIRAL barrier system features an automatic self-diagnosis function that enables it to
detect response time malfunctions (this time is declared for each model).
This safety system is permanently active and does not require any interventions from the
outside. The TEST function is available should the user wish to check equipment connected
downstream of the barrier (without physically entering the protected area).
By means of this function the OSSDs can be switched from ON to OFF as long as the
function remains active. Please see table 2 (page 10) for details about the use of the test
function. The minimum duration of the TEST function must be 80 msec.
OUTPUTS STATUS
The ADMIRAL features two static PNP outputs on the Receiver, the status of which depends
on the condition of the protected area.
The maximum load allowed is 500mA at 24VDC, which corresponds to a resistive load of
48. Maxim load capacity corresponds to 2.2F. The meaning of the status of outputs is
defined in the table below. Any short circuit between outputs or between outputs and 24VDC
or 0VDC power supplies is detected by the barrier.

In the protected area clear condition, the Receiver supplies a voltage of 24 VDC on
both outputs. The required load must therefore be connected between the output
terminals and the 0DVC (Figure 17).
