On safety
To meet the requirements of the relevant product standards (e.g. IEC 61 496
A
1), the
external voltage supply for the devices (SELV) must be able to bridge a brief mains
failure of 20 ms. The power supply must provide safe mains isolation (SELV/PELV) and
have a current limit of max. 8 A. Power supplies according to EN 60 204
A
1 satisfy this
requirement. Suitable power supplies are available as accessories from SICK (see
section 10.6 “Accessories” on page 77).
2.5
Environmental protection
The miniTwin2 safety light curtain has been designed to minimise environmental impact. It
uses only a minimum of power and natural resources.
At work, always act in an environmentally responsible manner.
2.5.1
