2.4  Destination and use

The SLC 420 is a non-contact, self-testing safety guard, which is used 

for the protection of hazardous points, hazardous areas and machine 

accesses   If one or more light beams are interrupted, the hazardous 

movement must be stopped

The user must evaluate and design the safety chain in  

accordance with the relevant standards and the required 

safety level

1)

 Resolution = beam di beam diameter 10 mm

2)

 To EN 61131-2

3)

  In case of failure, the leakage current  flows to the OSSD cable  

The downstream control element must recognise this state as LOW  

A safety PLC must detect this state

4)

  The load induction generates an induced voltage during the  

switch-off, which compromises the downstream components  

(spark quenching element)
