ROTOSCAN RS4-4

Electrical Connection

The ROTOSCAN RS4-4 requires a direct voltage of 24 V and 8 W of power plus the load at the outputs (max. 25 W).

In keeping with electrical safety requirements, the power to the ROTOSCAN RS4-4 and all connected input and output circuits must be provided by a power supply unit with protective isolation from a safety transformer according to IEC 742 or comparable (this also applies for the use of battery chargers for AGV applications).

Configuration of the Safety Laser Scanner RS4-4
a) Connection for setting parameters only
b) Connector X1 (15-pin, Sub-D)
c) Connector X2 (9-pin, Sub-D)
e) RS4 Configuration- and test device
