A ≥ (speed of line ft/sec) x 0.1 sec.
B ≈ 3" or position must hinder
personnel following muted object
C ≤ Length of carrier basket
– Trapping hazards must be avoided and
clearance requirements complied with.
– Switch actuators can not be so long that they
allow a single person to initiate a
muted condition.
– Polarized-retroreflective (with targets
mounted on carrier) and inductive
proximity sensors could be used in a
similar manner, if an individual can
not ride into the hazardous area.
One-way (directional) muting can be used
in "Exit" applications to reduce the
possibility of intentional defeat.

B ≈ 3" or position must hinder personnel
following muted object
C ≤ Length of carrier basket
D < (speed of line ft/sec) x 3.0 sec., but beams M1 and M2
must be far enough apart to hinder an individual
from triggering both sensors.
