Sensor Scan Time
All models: 55 microseconds per beam plus processing time.
The processing time is dependent on the scan analysis and the number of active outputs.
This timing assumes a straight scan, continuous, and TBB mode
MAC-1, MACN-1 & MACP-1: 1 millisecond processing time
MACV-1 & MACI-1: 1.5 milliseconds processing time
MAC16N-1 & MAC16P-1: 2.3 to 7 milliseconds processing time
System Response Time
Outputs are not active for 5 seconds after system power up. Maximum response time for
the system is two sensor scan cycles.
A scan cycle includes a sensor scan plus any serial data transmission.
Serial transmission (if activated) follows every sensor scan.
Status Indicators
The following status LEDs are located on the top surface of the module:
MACV-1 & MACI-1: V OUT (Red) - (also called I OUT) Indicates that the analog outputs are active
MAC-1, MACN-1 & MACP-1: OUT 1 (Red) - Indicates that output 1 is energized
MAC16N-1 & MAC16P-1: OUT (Red) - Indicates that at least one output is active
ALARM (Red) - Indicates that Output 2 is active/MAC16N-1 & MAC16P-1: Indicates output 16 is active
GATE (Red) - Indicates voltage is applied to Trigger (Gate) input
ALIGN (Green) - Indicates sensor aligned (excess gain > 1x)
DIAG1 (Green) - Indicates power is applied to the module*
DIAG2 (Red) - Indicates receiver failure
DIAG3 (Red) - Indicates emitter failure
