THE BREAK BEAM SENSOR
SYSTEM INDICATOR (BBSS)
The BBSS is able to switch itself off in the event
of a blockage or contamination preventing it from
functioning correctly. In this instance, the BBSS will
switch itself back on once the blockage is cleared and
the correct operation can be resumed.
The BBSS indicator on the main screen is used to
indicate the eight possible states of the BBSS as
follows:
THE AUX OUT INDICATOR
The auxiliary socket on the Geo3 circuit board
allows third party products such as loaders or RF
transmitters to be interfaced to the Geo3.
The AUX out indicator is turned on and off via the
AUX OUT parameter (see page 49).
There are two possible conditions that can be
indicated:
BBSS ENABLED AND BALL DETECTED
The Geo3 can be fired at the maximum
rate of fire determined by the chosen
firing mode.
BBSS FAULT HAS BEEN CLEARED AND BALL
DETECTED
The system has been re-enabled. A ball is
detected and the Geo3 can be fired at the
maximum rate of fire determined by the
chosen firing mode.
BBSS ENABLED NO BALL DETECTED
The Geo3 cannot be fired.
BBSS FAULT HAS BEEN CLEARED AND NO
BALL DETECTED
The system has been re-enabled. No ball
is detected so the Geo3 cannot be fired.
To reset the BBSS icon, use the
button
to switch off the BBSS and then back
on again.
BBSS DISABLED
The Geo3 can be fired at a maximum
rate of fire as set by the BS OFF ROF
parameter (see page 42).
BBSS ENABLED IN TRAINING MODE
The BBSS has been over-ridden as the
user has selected training mode. As the
user has chosen to leave the BBSS on,
the achievable rate of fire is limited by
the firing mode.
BBSS FAULT DETECTED
The system is disabled. The Geo3 can
only be fired at a maximum rate of 2bps
less than the maximum rate of fire, up to
a maximum of 10 bps.
BBSS DISABLED IN TRAINING MODE
The BBSS has been over-ridden as the
user has selected training mode. As the
user has chosen to turn the BBSS off,
the achievable rate of fire is limited by
the BS OFF ROF parameter (see page
42).
AUX OUT ENABLED
The AUX OUT is enabled. Each time the
circuit board detects a valid trigger pull a
signal will be sent to the AUX connector on
the circuit board.
AUX OUT DISABLED
The AUX OUT is disabled. No signal will be
sent to the AUX connector on the circuit
board.
