2. Select Cable Assemblies - One each for emitter and receiver. Cable length can be adjusted in the field.

Determine minimum cable length required for emitter unit.

Determine minimum cable length required for receiver unit.

Select the one emitter cable and one receiver cable from the table.

Cable Assemblies		Part Number
Emitter Cable, 15 ft.	5 Conductor	0972
Emitter Cable, 30 ft.	5 Conductor	0973
Emitter Cable, 98 ft.	5 Conductor	0976
Receiver Cable, 15 ft.	8 Conductor	0974
Receiver Cable, 30 ft.	8 Conductor	0975
Receiver Cable, 98 ft.	8 Conductor	0977

3. Select Mounting Brackets - These are optional. Sensing Units come with standard mounting brackets.

Determine if standard mounting brackets will suffice. Consult your Tapeswitch application specialist.

If required, select optional swivel, clamping, or vibration-damping mounting brackets.

4. Select Floor Stands - These are optional.

Determine if floor stands are required. Consult your Tapeswitch application specialist.

If required, select the number of floor stands required.

5. Select Mirror Assemblies - These are optional.

Determine if mirrors are required. Consult your Tapeswitch application specialist.

If required, select the appropriate mirror type from the table.

If required, select a safety controller: BSRSA, BSRUA-2, SRUB, SRUS, C6, or BC-1.

7. Select Power Supply - This is optional.

If an SRUB Safety Controller has been selected, determine if you need a power supply.

If required, select the GDC1 Power Supply.

8. Select Additional Accessories - These optional accessories provide useful functions for installing, maintaining and troubleshooting the light curtains.

Programming Unit - Used to program fixed and floating blanking on the sensing units.

Laser Alignment Tool - Provides a visual indication of alignment between the emitting and receiving unit. Simplifies alignment, especially when then units are far apart.

Diagnostic Software Kit - Interfaces the safety light curtain sensing units to a laptop computer. Shows real-time status of each beam and logs data.
