Integrated Safety Systems
Your Century Series system offers the safety features described below.
Safety Interlock System
The
Safety Interlock
is a key-activated device located on the Control Panel (see Figure 2-1
and Table 3-4). It can be used to restrict access to the inside of the dispensing system based
on different conditions. Once an Interlock safety mode has been selected, the key can be
removed to prevent an inadvertent mode change. There are two different Safety Interlock
modes from which to choose:
ON
or
OFF
. The Safety Interlock is used in conjunction with
the door sensors or Light Curtain.

References describing the front doors as “open” are equivalent to crossing
(or breaking) the Light Curtain.
•
ON
( ) When
Safety Interlock
is
ON
and a dispensing program is running,
opening the front doors causes the immediate stoppage of all dispensing motion and
also disables the heaters. If the doors are opened when the
Safety Interlock
is
ON
,
all position references are lost. You must reset the Century Series System and
restart your dispensing program in order to continue.
•
OFF
( ) This is the
BYPASS
mode. The yellow light pole/beacon light and yellow
SYSTEM STATUS
lights are ON when
Safety Interlock
is
OFF
.
Do not use the OFF mode for normal operation. Use this mode
only when servicing or programming the machine.
