4.10 Sender test

he C4000 sender has a test input on pin 3 for checking the sender and the related re-

ceiver. During the test, the sender no longer emits light beams. Thus, it simulates — for the

receiver — an interruption of the protective field.

 During the test the sender indicates .

 The test is successful, if the C4000 receiver switches to red, i.e. the output signal

switching devices (OSSDs) are deactivated. In a cascade this only applies for the host.

C4000-Sender and receiver are self-testing and do not require any external sender test.

You can deactivate the sender test with the aid of the CDS, if the test is not required for

the current application.

To be able to perform a sender test …

 the option Enable sender test must be active. This is the condition as supplied.

 a means of controlling the test input must be available.

red.

The electrical connection at the test input is described in chapter 6.12 “Test input (sender

test)” on page 62.
