Description
The Admiral Type 4 family of safety light curtains is the ideal solution for the protection of the majority of high-risk industrial applications. Admiral light curtains may be connected to the dedicated safety interfaces series AD SR, or directly to contactors actuated and controlled by the light curtain, or to MOSAIC or to suitable commercial safety modules or safety PLCs.
Specifications
SIL 4 Cat. 4 PL e
Start/restart interlock, selectable.
Integrated feedback input for external device monitoring (EDM).
All connections and configurations by means of
M12 connectors. Unshielded cables up to 100
meter long can be used to connect the light curtain.
Protected heights: 160 mm – 2250 mm (2250 only
for 30, 40, 50 and 90 mm resolution).
Information on the blanking function can be found in the Safety Guide.
The Floating Blanking function is available on the Admiral AX BK models.
